Oh Oxy and Mario, nice of you two to join in... and I'm BAAAAACK!!! (heavens to mergatroid)

Hi Leah and welcome to QC!!! since none of the guys bothered to reply and welcome you, let me be the first:laugh: then you can go kick their asses riding!! you go girly!! nice ride the YZF450!!

what color is your plug and is it new?

you are getting too much air somehow, check for proper fuel flow in lines and tank screen, intake boot for air leaks and check airboxand vacuum lines. You can also adjust your fuel screw. Start there.....

HI and welcome to QC!!!

HI and welcome to QC!!

HI and welcome to QC!! Yummy carb! Enjoy your quad!

did ya use a rebuild kit or just clean everything and put it back together?

now comeon, you know how long I've been at the kx have...depends on how much you got it for,,,,,I did a ton to the kx, but only paid 150.00 for it and it'll sell for 750.00 easily...makes a nice little backyard pit bike too...LOL:wink:

yep, im sure its the red one,,,,the yellow button below it is the override, as Oxy said, for the reverse limiter....pm polarisrich and ask him I think he has the same machine or something similar... wish you the best getting all those wires back together...

turn on the key so the dash lites up, push up on red switch on left handlebar...thats your starter switch....E GADZ where do all the loose pigtails go? OMG!!!

HI and welcome to QC!! If you go to the forums by brand you can find other atv brand forum and Oxidized_black has posted miscellaneous chinese quad manuals, you might want to check if yours is there. If no luck, I'm pretty sure the engine is a honda clone GY6, but not positive.....good luck:yes:

Hi Marian and welcome to QC!!

Wylde1.......hope your not hurt...just did that on the little kx60 I just fixed. was flying around the backyard testing out my top end rebuild and turned a little to close to the ground, footpeg dug in and that's all I remember...hurts like hell! I need to start videotaping my rides.... Damn those little bikes!!!

Go to your account page and click messages....it should have shown up as you had a message when you logged on:wink:

Come on Cowboy, you can do it......get a schematic of your carb or service manual and like oxy said clean work space, brake or carb cleaner spray and some forced air...Voila!! It's really not that hard........especially since you can repair engines,,,,go for it,,,,if you can't get it right,,,THEN take it to someone,,,,,,yes, you will do it a number of times, but this is something everyone should know.......great suggestion from swampcat to change bowl screws to allens.....strip them out and your screwed!!! (did i just make a funny there?) No really, it's not that hard.......

Glad you got it back!! High pressure spray car wash does the trick... LMAO on the Lowjack!!!

HI and welcome to QC!!

HI and welcome to QC!! It sounds like you got a really great deal! Enjoy your new ride!!

take the carb off and clean the whole thing...and use fresh gas....check the tank screen for obstructions and check your fuel filter also..all of them can get gunky from sitting...1/4 --3/4 throttle is the jet needle and needle jet, the main jet holder may be gunky....good luck:wink:

check your compression too...is it real easy to kick or is the kick start really hard to kick down?

HI and welcome to QC!!! Love them Yammies!!!

Jeeze Nina, sure hope your tail is better soon!! Agreed you just gotta get back on and ride some more when you feel better,,it's all a learning game,,my butt was sore from the horse bucking me off for about a month!! Hope yours does not last that long!

HI and welcome to QC!!

HI and welcome to QC!! I dont lay carpet or tile, but damn good at fixing teeth:biggrin:
