Kazuma 110 - no power

[cevangel]

We aquired this Quad that shows very little use but had been sitting for a while. I have it starting easily now - but it does not have much power at all. It seems like it's loading up with gas and bogging down. Spark is good - have replaced the coil and plug - replaced the carb with a new one and still the same issue. Thoughts?

Air intake clogged, air filter? Have you checked that?

How heavy is the person riding it? Those little quads generally have around a 100lb weight limit. If you aren't overloading it, I would check the valves and do a compression test. Those Chinese quads are prone to chronic problems, I have never seen one last more that 5 or 6 rides before something went wrong. I don't want to be a spoil sport, but the best thing you can do with that thing is get rid of it, make it someone elses problem.

Thanks for the responses. I know that these can have issues, but I got 2 of them for next to nothing and it's a cost effective way to see if my kids like the sport - they are 9 and 11, both under 100lbs. They are enjoying riding the other one so far. I have been working on it with the air cleaner removed. Time to go a little deeper I guess.... Thanks again for the help.

does it smell like it is running rich. It could be that you need to set the float and mixtures. they do not usually come preset.
