Another vote for an older honda

You can't go wrong with any of those.

The one we did we have now added the plate back for the next little one to learn on. Had it cut out so it bolts on like a gasket

I agree facebook or craigslist

All depends on what toy I'm playing with. I have a 84 trx200 all work have 03 sportsman 500 about 60/40 and have an 05 raptor that is no work.

Thanks for the info

The restrictor plate is between the carb and the cylinder. It is part of the cylinder its self. If you,pull the car you can't miss it. Rejetting the carb is a must if you decide to get rid of it. I believe a 65 main jet is what was put in. I have also seen it taken out in steps to add a little more speed as the kids got better at riding. The little motors can really move if do right.

Hope you have figured it out but the 2.5 turns out from lightly seated on the adjustment screw.

Check that your tie rod ends are good and the your tie rods are not bent. Also check that your wheels are aligned. Mine felt loose also until I realigned it. It was about 12mm toe out. The specs call for 0-7.5mm toe in.

Make sure that it is in neutral and that the forward reverse shifter is not in reverse. High or low will allow it to start, but not reverse. You are able to pull start them in any gear and in reverse.
