Various quad problems

[Wolds Alpacas]

Hello - I just found you today and hope this forum might help with a number of issues with several quads I have...

I have a Kawasaki KLF185 Bayou which is in bits - bought as such and never managed to get going.  I have not had a spark and tried two OEM CDI's on it.  I have replaced the coil and plug and checked the wiring to CDI.  I have also tried to use other CDI's (DC ones) run from the battery.  Nothing, still no spark, so I have managed to find a new pickup coil and hope that resolves things - any input on this would be appreciated.

I also have a Yamaha YFM225 which sounds really noisy exhaust wise.  It had no baffle so I bought and installed that but it seemed to make no difference.  There are no leaks from the manifold or exhaust but the damm thing just sounds so loud!

Thirdly I have just ordered a Suzuki King Quad 300 which should be here this week - it is described as "with slow running needing attention"  I am as a matter of course going to put a new spark plug in, change the oil and oil filter and blow out the air filter with compressed air - anything else I should consider?  Also, the headlights do not work - I want to change them out for LED ones anyway though. 

I notice that there is a library here, but until I have engaged ten times here, I am unable to download anything.

Thanks in advance.

You should create separate topics for each ATV and that ATV's issues in the branded forums https://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/17-atv-forums-by-brand/

Hello Admin - if you could split it then, that would be helpful - I posted it more as an introduction so any help is appreciated.
