spalding Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hey what's going on guys I just recently tried to start my quad that has sat for about 3 months and it wouldn't turn over I kicked about 25 times and nothing so I put new spark plugs in and went through the carbs and cleaned them all and still nothing. It worked perfect before it sat so what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Have you checked to makes sure your getting spark, and fuel? Fresh tank of gas? Cleaned carbs, removed jets, and clean them? Clogged pilot jet, you put carbs back together right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Fresh fuel? Not some 3 mo. old piss? Stock carbs? You do them one at a time, or do you now have parts all mixed up? Float bowls and slides are different and will fit on wrong carb. Quick douche or complete dissasembly? Can you see through the jets? Emulsion tube side holes? Does air blow through EVERY hole inside carb? Choke crossover on? Float level set? The shit they sell as gasoline goes bad very quick and the remaining shit leaves a hella mess.

oldskool Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 kill switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spalding Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I need to drain the tank since there is only a little left and yes I cleaned the carbs good and did them one at a time to ensure that no parts were mixed or lost and they were assembled correctly and no I have not checked for spark yet and I was wondering if it was just something as simple as on off switch or the kill switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Clean the carbs again. And only put the freshest fuel you can get in it. Edited October 5, 2014 by trickedcarbine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spalding Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 How can I also check for spark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Soto Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 You can grab the plug wire with you plug in it place it on a bolt and kick it over if you see spark then your good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spalding Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 So I tested for spark and on right side it's a good spark flame and on the right it's a tiny little white light you can barely see and I checked fuel line and on reserve it poured out gas and the on position just let a little out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Both not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spalding Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 So do you think it's the coil? And I'll just clean the tank out then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 try trimming the spark plug cables 1/4" and install new caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spalding Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 And what will that do for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 So I tested for spark and on right side it's a good spark flame and on the right it's a tiny little white light you can barely see I assumed one of these was the left and one had weak spark.
