Having difficulty starting my 4-wheeler. Replaced the throttle cable. Throttle cable was acting a little weird. If you pulled on it the engine would rev up and down. That did not fix the problem. When the start button is pushed... it just continues to try to crank. If the spark plug is removed and then turn the engine over a couple of times and then put the spark plug back in the 4-wheeler it cranks with no problem. As long as I don't shut it off it runs great. But once it is shut off I have to go through this whole process again

Hi and welcome to QC! Will it start with the recoil starter or is just the electric start? If you use the recoil is it hard to start also? As Wylde1 said, check your compression with a good tester, screw in type, not push in type. Also, check the color of the spark (should be blue not orange) and color of the plug, could be you got a bad ignition coil. My guess is low compression.....been there too.......good luck!:wink:

i have seen this problem b4 on several polaris machines ... and it is usually a problem with the starter gears ... they get a little rust and or some ware on them and will hang up and stick ... and it will need to be taken apart an checked for ware and make shure it has proper lube on the ends of the shafts and some lube on the gears but not alot ... also the bendix can be hanging up and causing it to do that ... i would check this out an go from there ..

      Kawasaki Engine Serial Number Decoding?
      By killerklown
      I received an additional parts engine with a 220 Bayou I purchased, but I believe it's a couple years newer than the ATV, Is there a way to decode the engine serial number like we can with VIN numbers?

      What would make it surge the one tire? King Quad 300 "97
      By Chucksta
      So.. it a weird one.. The quad surges as you go down the road. By the looks of my tracks, it's one wheel only. High range, low range, 2 wd , 4 wd.. It just doesn't matter.. 
      You can see in the pictures the marks it leaves. That was in a straight line, with hardly any acceleration. 
      Any ideas?

      ¿CÓMO AJUSTAR EL CABLE DEL ACELERADOR (CHICOTE) DE MI ATV 200 ITALIKA?
      By Wanheda
      Necesito ayuda para saber como puedo ajustar yo mismo el cable del acelerador de mi atv, esta nueva, recientemente lo lleve a su primer servicio y lo "arreglaron" pero ayer volvió a fallar, lo que pasa es que de la nada como que se afloja y por más que presione la palanca de aceleración nada más no avanza, he intentado repararlo y en ocasiones queda bien pero después le pasa lo mismo, y quisiera saber como funciona para poder repararlo ya que aun falta bastante para su siguiente servicio además de que para llevarla al servicio debo rentar una camioneta para llevarla ya que esta algo lejos el centro de servicio, así que por favor si me pueden ayudar, se los agradecería mucho

      2022 Honda Rubicon won’t start, need help
      By HondaRubi2022
      Hello,
      I have a 2022 Honda Rubicon and I have an issue where it won’t start, when I turn the key for power nothing lights up and it won’t start but the lights will turn on with the light switch, I’ve checked all fuses and they’re good, I don’t have a wiring schematic I’m not sure where to start, I checked the ignition fuse when I turn the key on and there’s no voltage there, I used a jumper wire from the batter to the top of the ignition fuse and then it works fine and starts fine but as soon as I turn the quad/key off it won’t start again until I jump the ignition fuse with battery power, just wondering if anyone could give me some tips where to go with this or if anyone has had the same issue, thank you.
