Tao Tao 140cc weird no start issue

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:16:14 +0000

Hey everyone looking for a suggestion of where i can start looking. But first I'd like to explain what happened. Took the bike this morning got it started in 6 degrees celsius in 6-7 kicks? No choke. Drove 6km and when shifted to next gear bike decided to just shut off, stopped checked everything out seemed good, started first kick and on i went, drove maybe another 2km bike did same thing but this time it took me 10-15 kicks to get it started, on the third time after a kilometer decided not to start at all. Kicked it like a 450 a couple hundred times, nothing. So far checked gas is good, bypassed fuel filter and on/off valve to eliminate that problem, hot wired the kill switch in case something got corroded there. Nothing. Any suggestions would be welcomed. (Heard valve adjustment are a must do?)

Hawk 110 for 9/12 year old newby

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 23:28:05 +0000

My 9yo grandson has expressed interest in ATVs. Ran across a deal on a 2023 Hawk 110. Is this a decent model, and is there anything I should look for? I'm sure his 12yo brother who is small for his age will be interested too. I was scouting for a 50cc but this has a governor so I think that will let me keep speeds down, right?

How Old is Old Enough?

Sun, 17 Dec 2023 18:24:17 +0000

Looking to get my kids started, eldest is 8 and youngest 4, think it makes sense to hook them up with ATVs already? Or wait a few more years

Right hand crankshaft (stator side), spinning freely on Apache Tomahawk 50

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 09:50:53 +0000

Hi guys -

Working on my daughters Apache Tomahawk 50cc (GY6 engine I believe).

Wouldn’t start, noticed that the stator Magneto wasn’t turning with the engine.

Stripped it down fully expecting the woodruff key to be sheered/moved however this wasn’t the case.

It appears instead that the shaft itself isn’t engaging and/or is engaging intermittently as the engine turns over which is effecting spark timing.

Any ideas on what could be the problem - I’m at a loss!!

Suzuki lt80 Clutch Pad Thickness

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 03:18:48 +0000

Newbie hear, I've done a lot of looking on the site but have not found any specs on the minimum thickness for the clutch pads or minimum inner diameter of the clutch housing of a 2004 Suzuki lt80. Before I started the teardown, the belt was slipping alot at low speeds and I'm wondering if the 20 year old clutch is at the end of its life. I've ordered a new belt, checked the rollers for flat spots and any wear on the primary transmission, all looks good. I'll clean the rollers and re-grease them before reinstalling. Thanks for any help.

Tao Tao 110cc, starts the stalls when trying to accelerate

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 02:31:30 +0000

Just picked up a 2014(?) Chinese quad for my kids to play around on. I can get the quad to start up, but then it dies out when we get ready to take off. Do I just keep playing with the carb, or is there something else I should be looking at?

Also, what kind of amps should I be looking for in a replacement battery?

Thanks

2002 Kasea Skyhawk 50

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 03:17:10 +0000

Just picked this up for my toddler. I believe it's a 2 stroke, but I have zero experience with this type and have no idea how to service or even refuel. Anybody have or had one of these? Or perhaps where I can get a manual? Info on these is pretty scarce.

Grandkids.

Sat, 24 Sep 2022 04:53:06 +0000

Im considering purchasing my grandkids a quad, partially for fun, I want them to be able to ride with grandpa and partly as a motivational tool regarding behavior. (my adult children can buy their own)

Two of them are absolute monsters . . . Love em to death but they have my . . inherited traits?

Looking for something in the 90 to 125cc range or so that isnt going to cost me a fortune in upkeep, because I KNOW they're going to break it.

Whats been folks best experience in regards to upkeep/cost effectiveness and so forth?

2006 Suzuki z50 help and need new seat

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 02:07:28 +0000

Hey all new to the forum.... We ended up picking up a 2006 Suzuki z50 quad sport and took it camping this weekend. The guy said had a new top end and just put on a new belt. Seem to work fine for a little bit and then it lost power at the rear wheels. Belt was not in bad shape took a look but it just did not seem to have enough power to get my little guy moving. I pick up the rear end tires would go. Set it down lacked all power. Any help would be greatly appreciated it did run like a top also. To add to the bad news on the way home I ended up losing the seat so if anybody has one even if it's in rough shape would love to get it or if you have any ideas open to suggestions......

Polaris Sportsman 110cc rear end damage

Sun, 12 Jun 2022 02:38:31 +0000

I have a 2018 Polaris Sportsman 110cc that my son rides. We are active riding in the Colorado mountains. My son struggles to navigate trails with rocks. He follows my line and occasionally hits the rear end. Well the pictures show the damage well. After a weekend of riding almost 60 miles, he hit one rock and nearly ripped the rear axle off. There was about 1/2" of metal still attached on one of the tubes. Luckily I have a neighbor that is a big fabricator as his help will be needed on this one.

Oil pressure 2020 Polaris outlaw 110cc efi

Fri, 10 Jun 2022 04:23:44 +0000

1. Is anyone aware of a way to verify adequate oil pressure on a 2016 - 2020 Polaris 110cc efi engine?

2. If there a way to verify oil is reaching the valve assembly?

3. Where are the oil passages located in the top end?

4. Is it possible to remove the valve cover to inspect, without effecting the head gasket?

Reason for the questions is due to excessive sludge in the engine, and need to verify oil is traveling throughout the engine.
