Hey guys! I am in need of some serious help with my little quad. Take a listen to the video and see if you can decipher why it is running like it is. I have yet to figure it out.

I have cleaned and rebuilt the carb with OEM parts and jets. Put in a new petcock, fuel filter, and fuel line. Replaced the computer. Put on a new coil, wire, and cap. Replaced the spark plug. Checked the compression and valves. Everything was in spec with the manual. I am at a serious loss. Please let me know your thoughts. :mad:

Here is another video after I turned the air screw IN a quarter of a turn.

Well I thought you were to keep it fired up. Initially it sounded like a stuck starter to me. Try pulling that out and use the pull start.

Also thinking timing chain jumped. Did you check the timing?

Ah yes, I could see that for sure. Nah it starts with just a tiny tap of the starter button. Its always been that way. Plus, this one doesnt have a pull starter.

In the 2nd video I just posted you can hear it idling like a champ right off the bat. When I give it gas is when I encounter the problems. Check it out and let me know what you think.

hmmm... you took care of the spark stuff. If the chain jumped it would be hard to start again. Same if your valves are whack.

Thinking fuel starvation or flooding. Do you have a suction fuel pump?

The only way the fuel is getting pumped is by mother nature, gravity. There isnt a fuel pump.

But I agree, I think its a fuel issue...perhaps jetting. Not sure cause it ran fine at this elevation prior and it has stock jets in it. So one would think that is a fine base point to start from with minor adjustments thereafter.

Yeah there is. New Yamaha style petcock and got rid of the vacuum port on the petcock and blocked off the port on the carburetor. Also on the cap I have a good vent hose coming off of it.

I took the line off the carb and let the fuel run through the petcock, filter, and line and it ran freely. No blockages.

      CFmoto ATV Parts and Accessories
      By HHurks
      Yesterday I got a UForce 1000 as my first bike and I am wondering if there are any owners that could advise where I can find budget parts and accessories for it.
      I tried looking StarknightMT, but the filtering is a bit unreliable, so direct links or exact names are much appreciated.
      I'm mostly interested in sliders and side cases, but any advices for "must haves" are welcomed.
      Thank you!

      Starter circuit cut out relay 1997 Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4
      By crankin
      I have a 1997 Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4. It used to start right up. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't crank. I have a schematic for it so I started tracing the problem. I had no power at the starter solenoid. According to the schematic the power comes from the neutral switch and through the starter circuit cut out relay. I cannot locate the cut out relay on this machine.. If I apply power to the relay it will crank with the start button.
      The neutral switch is hard to get to with all the brackets on this thing. I did find out from all my research that if I apply the rear brake lever it will start.
      Does anybody know if the cut out relay exists and where it might be found?

      CFMOTO owners - How's parts availability in your area?
      By ATVcenter
      Hey everyone,
      I'm seriously considering a CFMOTO 600 Touring but keep hearing mixed feedback about parts and dealer support depending on where you live.
      Before I pull the trigger, I'd love to hear from actual owners:
      - How long do parts usually take if your dealer doesn't stock them?
      - Have you had any warranty work done? Was it smooth or a headache?  
      - Does your dealer provide decent service, or are you stuck doing everything yourself?
      The value proposition is hard to ignore - seems like you get 30% more features for the money compared to the Big 3. But I'm trying to figure out if the potential service headaches are worth the upfront savings.
      Would love to hear real-world experiences, especially from owners 2+ years in. What should a potential buyer know before committing?
