Hi, I have a 90 cc Kolpin quad with a couple of issues. The oil pump took a crap so now I mix oil/gas. The machine does not accelerate properly. Im using a chainsaw mix for gas. 32:1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bruce

Did it run good anytime since the pump went out & you've been mixing the fuel & oil? I'm not sure on using chainsaw oil in your quad. I run Yamalube in ours. Did you run the quad without the pump working and how long if you did?

It started out full tank of oil, It all drained to the cylinder. Took it in , mechanic said you have dirt in the pump. Mix oil/gas and no oil in tank he said it would be ok. Is there any way to check pump? Bruce

Did the mechanic clean out the pump ? I would use a 2 cycle oil made for that quad Find out what the ratio is Also Pull your plug and see what color it is

I'm sorry to have to disgree with your mechanic. If the quad was run without oil being pumped to the engine that will cause engine damage. I don't understand how all the oil from the tank got in the cylinder if the pump quit working. Their is a term washed out when too much fuel which in your case fuel & oil over loads the cylinder and can cause damage to the cylinder & rings. Did the mechanic check the spark pulg, comprission on the motor check the carb etc? A 2 stroke should smoke but how bad was or is yours smoking.

Hangingon, Im going to pull the plug tonight and do a compression test. What is a good compression reading? Plug should be a tanish brown correct? If black and sooty its runing to rich. Is this right? Also on the carb, there is a cylindrical piece srewed to it with wires coming from it. Im thinking it is an electric choke. Is there away to test it? Thank you for your time, knowledge, and patients.

Did a compression test and got 100psi on the gauge.

Not knowing what it should be 100 psi sounds like it got plenty of compression ! My moneys on the chain saw mix oils that you use I would get some fresh gas and NEW 2cycle oil and mix it ! We used to do it in the 70`s when my Yammi 360 enduro`s injector pump went out and it worked fine !! although 32:1 seen kinda rich !! I use to run my 88LT250R at 50:1 JMO

Check the plug for being wet to from raw fuel & yes your right about running rich. The black plastic part is the choke I'm not sure how to check it. I had my daughters off last night and turned the key and it didn't move just a guess until the quad is warm would it move but in this case it would have to be mounted on the carb. The only way I know ours works is by starting the quad and once it warms up it idles down. For the compression I dont know you should be able to do a search and find a range it should be in. With any motor over time it's going to lose some compression over the years.

I also read what Quadnut said I agree 100% I would drain the fuel tank and get fresh gas & oil and a spark plug their under 3.00 I bought Yamalube 2 stroke oil I think it was aroud 9.00 for a qt. it will last a long time. Also check your air filter a dirty air filter can effect how it runs.

I went to the Koplin site to check out the Koplins. They seem to be the same as the e-ton which is what we have. It should be the same carb air filter box looks the same as well the head may be different by what I saw but yours is newer so they could have changed them later on. The left side motor cover as sanyco their used in scooters. And alot of the youth quads that are of good quality.

Sorry 1 more thing if you drain the tank and put new fuel & oil in before you refill the tank. On the bottom of the carb you have a drain hose just above it theres a screw if you unscrew the screw it will drain out the gas & chainsaw oil in the carb as well. On my daughters it has a fuel filter between the fuel cock and carb may want to check to see if yours has a filter and it's not clogging up our fuel filter is clear so you can see any trash.

      2004 DVX 400 fuel issues
      By HeWasRidinDirty
      I rebuilt the carb on said machine. When I hook up the auxiliary gas tank it runs fine and everything is cool. When I put the fuel tank on and hooked up the lines, it completely flooded the cylinder and even about an inch of fuel in the air box. I'm pretty sure that it comes from the little hose on the petcock and hooks to the top of the carb. WTH is that even for? I mean the thing runs fine on the auxiliary tank, so idk And on the petcock when it's in the "on" position, I get no fuel. The petcock from the bike I took it apart and checked out how it operates. The sharpie marks indicate how it really works. Now the other petcock w/o the sharpie marks is an old one that was leaking that I removed from a Polaris quad. It's exactly the same thing, except the small hose and nipple have been removed. I'm so confused, LOL

      2002 Polaris 400 Sportsman Shift Indicator Issues
      By jeffrocdx
      I'm working on a 2002 Polaris Sportsman 400 with shift indicator problems. The indicator panel only will show Neutral and Reverse. If it's in High or Low, the indicator will show "R".
      I have replaced the three position indicator switch on the transmission. There is also a two position switch on the tranny that I didn't replace. If anyone is familiar with this problem, please let me know what I need to do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

      04 Suzuki Eiger 400 Starting Issues & More
      By alexwv1863
      I'm currently working on an 04 Suzuki Eiger 400 and ran into some issues. Main issue being it's really hard to start. Once I get it started, it runs bad. Sounds like it's missing, which I'm pretty sure is an idle issue. It's not my 4 wheeler. I'm working on it for a buddy. Someone started working on the original carb and 2 jets were missing when I got it to work on.
      So, I ordered a new carb. To get it to run, I had to adjust the throttle screw on the handle bar almost all of the way out. Even doing that, it still sounds like it's bogging down and missing. 
      I did put a gas filter on it, which I'm questioning whether or not that's the issue and it's not getting enough gas like it should. The petcock only has an On, Reserve, and Prime option. It also has 2 ports. I guess I have the hoses hooked up right. There's no way to shut the gas off completely, and also it looks like there's no gas getting thru unless I run it on Prime. Reserve drips gas. I'm going to take it apart today and clean it. I'm also going to take the jets I need out of the new carb and put in the old one. 
      I don't know what all this person did you the 4 wheeler before I got it. There's odds and ends missing that I've noticed so far. What else can I try or look for? What could be the gas issue with the carb and petcock? The carb was completely off the bike except hanging onto the throttle cable. The diagram I found for the carb doesn't help me with hose placements. Any help, or questions would be appreciated. I can attach photos if it would be of help.

      Spark issues
      By Sketchy
      I've finally been able to get the plugs to spark by replacing the coils, regulator,  and cdi.  When checking the plugs for spark I noticed that they would spark for only a second or two and then no spark.   I release the start button and try again with the same results.  Shouldn't the plugs keep sparking with the start button pushed?  Thanks in advance.

      2021 ranger 150 tranny issues
      By erkme73
      Just purchased the subject 150.  It makes a crunchy chunky sound when reversing. There was a lot of slack on the chain so I assume that was it, but when I took the chain off I noticed that the transmission output shaft has a lot of slop in it. I have to assume that's not normal. Can anyone confirm?
