Hello all, new here. At a total loss as to what this is... also, only ran on day 1 of having it!

There are no identifying markings that I can find. It ran great on day 1, sat for a few days. Now getting it started is a chore, and if it does fire up, its drivable for a few mins before giving up. I have very little engine experience outside of the 2.2/2.5 turbo mopars...Any help is appreciated

you either have to much gas or to much air. it should start on choke with no throttle if spark is good. one test is to take out plug, try to start it and see if gas is puking out cylinder. then put in a bottle cap full of gas directly into the motor at the plus hole. add a new dry plus, put it on choke and start it. do not use throttle. it should start right up if spark is good. if not you may have a low spark or a low compression engine.

CT is a no-go today, found a tear in my gauge's hose... I did try gas directly in the chamber, and it did fire up for a moment. Im guessing (because I haven't done a compression test yet) that the issue is in the carb- a gray area for me.

Carbs arent that bad. People get scared of them. Just youtube "how to clean carb" and "how to tune idle on carb" and "how to tune mix on carb". They are really not hard. Put a WHITE trash bag down where you are gonna work. Get a can of carb cleaner. Take 1 thing out a a time. Once you have clean that 1 thing, put it right back, unless there is something more under it the need to be cleaned. Then take that out clean it and put it back. For tuning you wanna start with idle screw all the way in. Then you are gonna screw you mixture screw all the way in. The screws only need to be lightly seated. Now the only issue is that your quad isnt running. Normally you would screw it out until it is at the highest rpm you can get it with the mixture screw. Then go to your idle and slowly turn that out till it has a good idle speed. Im gonna say the normal turns out is 2 1/2. So just put them both around there and see. Start with the carb cleaning then tuning. Youtube will really help with the carb. They do seem imitating.

Are you filters clean? Is there all the proper fluids?

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      I am new to this site. I have a 1987 Suzuki LT230S Quadsport I think. Is there a difference between quadsport and quadrunner?

      I am new to this site. Now down to business, I have been given a Kawasaki 220, tires are trashed and it has been setting for a long time. Do I need a battery in it to find neutral? I know there is a neutral switch and if I shift down(7 times????)   then up one using the neutral switch I should be in Neutral. As you see I am in a learning curve here ......coments welcome.

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.
