Welcome to the crazy Quadcrazy forum!

Looks a bit high to me i would drop it a hair to be safe.

So when that line is even with the carburetor it shuts fuel off?

Looks better.

Nice work brother, cant wait to see how it goes. Keep us posted.

Yes it most likely did and leave it be !! I'm confident that Mr. Gold jet has cleaned all parts of the carburetor and shes ready to roll. Double check your float level, slap that puppy back together and fire this thing up! Where are you going to set the air/fuel screw at ?

Agreed not to keep messing with it but just have to hope that its not allowing any fuel or vacuum issues if that alignment issue now created a gap of any kind.

The pic attached shows why you also might be stuck, its not going to come out if if its wedged. Was it like that before you touched it ?

There are small brushes that get inside that port to clean it. If you crack that carburetor body its over! It looks like you rotated the brass sleeve a little already.

Why are you pulling that part out ? Ive never needed to touch that unless someone cross threaded the main jet.

Could be a bad injector or relay.

I once bought a fourtrax for a few hundred bucks because i needed the plastics and one rack. The pictures of the bike looked mint. So i asked the guy is there anything wrong with it? He said all I'm going to say is everything is usable but the frame!! Anyway i went to see it and the frame was rotted so bad that the bike snapped in half! Turns out it was an old police atv for beach patrol. Amazing what salt water can do! I use a light gauge wire wheel on my drill and have at it on all rusted areas down to bare metal and hit it with rustolium black spray paint, a few coats.

Nice looking bike from what i can see. Going to have some fun with that. What size engine??

Def want to see some pics. I have to say i always am hustling and buying bikes. I have never found a $40 atv worth while. I grabbed this Baja for $50 but its a baja! 😢

Exactly!

Not really and i don't think i would even try to re use gaskets since they are cheap enough to get. The package for $35 bucks has everything.

Its always easier to work on without the plastics just not easy to take the plastics off! I don't think you need to pull the plastics off based on the problem your having unless you need to pull the fan. Then you may need to take the front one off. Post a few pics of you can so we can help you along and make sire your on the right track.

This is exactly what me and my son do and its a blast. I would not be surprised of you spray them rings down good with starting fluid and clean the ring grooves on the piston, put them back on and take a company reading again and see what you get. My guess is you will be impressed. The cam journals look good, it all looks like it needs one hell of a parts wash.

@Guythis448 any luck ?

Agreed @spock58 but it looks like all the internals are new. That brass looks a little bit too clean to me?

$40 bucks??? And @Ajmboy says I find all the deals lol. listen if the plastics are good and the atv is in tact for the most part then yes $500 would be worthwhile. It would sell for $1000 to $900 in good running condition. The plastics and parts would be worth about $600 plus if you just want to part it out and thats a minimum estimate. If you think you could get that atv back to good for $500 then do it but make sure your not wrong and check all the gears and differentials as well. Be a shame if you did all that just to find out there is a drive train problem.

Lol sounds like my garage. Good luck and post pics!!

Sounds good brother, keep us posted.

Great work! Make sure you add grease to the cam lobes prior to start up and your timing is correct. New valve seals as well I'm assuming?

👍🏻 Good work brother!
