My quad will not start when temperature is below 40 F. Starts and runs great in warmer temperatures. My choke doesn't seem to be working...should the plunger be "IN" (down) or "out" (up) to actually "Choke"? Not the little choke lever...the actual plunger in the carb?

Are you sure it is actually in neutral? Try rocking it back and forth while clicking down on the shifter.

Thanks Mech! I knew we would get at the RIGHT answer...even at the expense of my ignorance! 🙂

Yep, solenoid is not engaging...the starter actually has two functions built into it. A solenoid moves the starter gear forward to engage with the engine as the starter motor is spinning. That same solenoid retracts the starter gear when you release the switch so that the engine does not continue to spin the starter. Take it back off and figure out what you did to make the solenoid not work...

It will still run...lights will not work unless it is in that position.

My 250 is 5 clicks DOWN is neutral...green light should come on. Each click "up" is the next gear. When riding, release the throttle and shift to the next gear. Gear up for higher speed/less torque...gear down for more torque (climbing)/less speed.

Rotating clockwise...OFF, ON, LIGHTS

Works for me EVERY time!🙃

Now that it's all better, I can tell you... My initial thought at "won't turn over" was GO FASTER AND TURN THE HANDLEBARS SHARPLY

Are you sure it is in neutral? With the key "on", click down on the shifter until the green neutral light comes on.

Where would I find this crankcase vent? I have a similar problem

I was NOT able to get it to smoke by manipulating the throttle as described. This is the result after a short ride. Also, when I remove the filler cap with it idling, there is enough pressure to lift the cap at the last thread...no hissing or pressure buildup. With the cap OFF, engine speed slows slightly and exhaust comes out the filler cap just like the exhaust pipe. The breather filter is saturated with oil and there is oil standing in the housing. Sound like it needs rings?
