This quad was a hot mess two weeks ago when I got it. I've been tinkering on it and have it running pretty good. It didn't have a pull start. I just got one and installed it today. Here's a little video of my first try at using it. Hope it's worthy of a "onya" from Mech! 🙂 IMG_3274_Trim.mp4

Good you got it going, sounds good.

I'd doubt the hose goes to the instrument panel.. They have an engine and airbox venting hose that runs up under the range/rev/4wd panel where it branches and runs back down as two open breather hoses.. You might be blowing into one of them. I'd try and aim it downwards so it doesn't accumulate water or dirt. I'd also change that fuel hose going onto the carb.. It looks like it's old or the wrong size and wall thickness.

improper shock adjustment can cause a camber problem. so don't forget all suspension components affect tire angels.

I think the parts places are pretty dependable, if they say your part will fit another model then it will, and the other model part will fit yours. It's easy to cross check. Look up your part and see what else it fits, then look up some of those models and see if their part is said to fit your bike, then if you really want to check their info, go to another parts site and repeat the whole process. You may find that your part is available under another part number. Sometimes under several numbers. Also, I'd consider pulling that bent arm and straightening it. The suspension and the wheel alignments on these things really aren't too critical They can be a bit misaligned and still track fine and have no problems.

I know what you mean it doesn't take long to sink a lot of money into one. I try to look at it as, im fixing this up to use, maybe I have more in it than its worth, but its good and it will do what I want it to do and its cheaper than anew one.

Also Mga, it's always worth looikng up the parts online, then seeing what other models they fit, because often the other model uses a different part number, and sometimes that other part number is available. They change the numbers if it's a superseded part, or got a different colored paint or any number of trivial things..

With the crack that's good that you are replacing it would be hard to bend back exact.

Ahh its time to get the hammer out.......Save yourself a few bucks.........Well if you got the bike for a good price than it is worth sinking some money into ......Have you seen the prices on these new machines today?........I could have remodeled my house with that kind of money back when I purchased my machine.........It is beyond insane........Why would people go in debt for one of these things today........Well to each their own.........Hey if you got it flaunt it.........If you dont, put it on the credit card......lol

Sometimes gas can leak past a worn float needle and seat you should replace it. I usually turn my gas off when not running and its going to be sitting for a while. I got used to doing that with my lawn tractors, briggs are notorious for that.

Parham.. the idle jet(inside the carb) may need cleaning, or the mixture might need adjusting. You should try adjusting the idle mixture screw and see if that cures it. If the adjustment screw doesn't seem to make any difference, or if you have to wind it more than about one turn in either direction to get it adjusted right, it's a sign the jet is dirty.

I have tinkered on a Chinese GY6 150cc. It stalls unless the idle is set high.
