Ask the admin or mod about the video Chucksta. They're super helpful. People post big videos quite often I thought.. https://www.quadcrazy.com/profile/4-ajmboy/

So ... there's more than one version of the King Quad. And there's a very important difference. Some, have a thermostatically controlled fan, that blows ( sucks?) air through the oil rad at the front of the bike, some don't. If you got one that doesn't have the fan, either mount one with a switch, ( thermostatic or manual ), or be real careful with high load / low speed stuff in the Winter. Hell of a load, pushing snow at a couple of Miles an hour, with no free air passing over the cooling coils. 5W-30, or 5W-40.. The 5 is still the same cold viscosity, but the 40 will give a higher temperature tolerance.. Yup.. even in the dead of Winter. I've got an old Honda Foreman, that pushes a 48 inch snow blower in the Winter... The next time I hear the fan running to keep the temp down, won't be the first.

I'd load another video file, but it says max size 38.75 MB ???

I met a guy today in Columbia TN at a dealer service area. He asked me if there was someone near Jamestown TN where he could get his nolder 4-wheeler serviced. I couldn't help but I gave him the Quadcrazy site and invited him to check it out. I decided to see if I could help him out before he even got to a forum to ask the question. Good Luck.

The cdi will be fine. I doubt that the 3/4 and up problem is timing. I'd try lifting or lowering the slide needle.

1st of 2 videos.. Houston.... we have a problem!!

OK, I need to update after the warmed-up test ride. It runs good until about 3/4 throttle, but it really needs more timing after that. Idles OK. I guess one of these $8 CDIs can get you by, I just don't think the $8 CDI is the solution. Waiting to hear back from the guy from France to see if that might work at $54...I think/hope it will as it can be programmed for two timing points, which is what the manual shows for this machine. Will see what I can get from the adjustable Chinese CDIs.

Ha.. Ok. Well done. "Perseverance always wins, giving up never does.".

OK, when this started I had 2 problems at the same time. Main power wire from battery (fused line) was damaged with an intermittent connection when turning handle bars, which I solved. Then, I thought CDI was the problem given the screwdriver smack fixed the CDI a couple times but the problem this time was the chineses carburetor. It was acting up at idle and run good at higher RPMs, so I pulled the carb and bowl...and the low-speed jet fell out! Ugh...and I almost pulled the bowl before I installed it. $8 CDI works fine on this machine.

Racing engines don't idle, and they don't have centrifugal clutches,, The timing is set by the trigger coil, and they can't know what the timing is going to be until they know what engine it's going on. I'd keep away from idiots that make claims like that,,
