I just 'acquired' a Quad ATV - working my way through (compression - seems ok, spark yes) got a plug and replaced the carby with a new one (looks a little smaller than the one that was on it) can get it so start after a few pulls with aerosol starter fluid - revs up then cuts out (did the same with the old carby) I assume this is a fuel related issue, checked flow from tank to top of fuel valve - looks good, what else should I be checking for??

Why would my kill switch not work from the coil pack wen I ground the wire out there's no killing it
@richardshomemechanics5566

Hi Ryan The kill switch is designed to earth the spark 🔥 stop the spark and obviously no spark the engine will stop I would be checking the actual switch itself down to where the earthing wire goes it could well be as simple as a broken wire ( you will need to use a multimeter set to ohms to test the wire ) if you have no access to a multi meter to check the continuity of the kill switch wire for the cheap price of the switch and wire I would swap it out for a new one Hope that helps Richard

Hi Fabio The carb was full of oil due to the petrol has evaporated in the carburettor leaving just the oil which blocked the jets in the carb and spark plug thank you for subscribing

@@richardshomemechanics5566 i have a Franco morini 50cc motor and it just stopped working and never started again… it’s strange and i dont know what happened… i have spark in the spark plug, so i have to disassemble the carburetor and clean it and open the motor and clean all the oil that it’s inside too, right? It just uses the oil that is in the gasoline mixture, is that correct?

Hi I have a similar quad I’m working on that I got for free. Missing both rear wheels. Can you send me any photos or information on how the wheel/hub attaches to the rear axle. I am in need of sourcing two rear wheels. Thank you.

Hi James Thank you for watching and commenting on my video the rear and front wheels are just held in by the spindal the tube that goes right through the middle of both wheels just undo the nut on one side of the spindle and hold the other end of the spindle ( the bolt with a spanner and at the same time undo the nut and remove and then just lightly tap the spindle out taking care not to damage the thread on the spindle you can do this but using a rubber mallet or put some cloth over the end and gently tap the spindle out . You may need a drift or a screw driver to put in the hole do you can complete tap it out hope that helps All the best Richard

@@richardshomemechanics5566 thank you. More specifically what keeps the rear wheels turning with the drive axle. Is it just lack of bearing and compression of the nut? My axle has two flat sides on the spindle is it a specific hub for the rear?

So I got a 49cc q2 from a friend since he couldnt fix the spring retraction on the pull start, I fixed that and pull start feels very heavy and janky like it chews a couple of times in the time I pull the string, I removed the spark to check that and was no problem,I also tested the pull without the spark and it pulled smoothly so not a compression issue either. I hear/see the flywheel cranking when I pull so I put some wd40 in the spark socket and nothing but a little bit of smoke! It’s only like a week old aswell and friend bought it brand new. any ideas?

Hi cryptocheerrys It looks like you have started fault finding you say you have compression when you pull the engine over but without using a compression tester this can not be ruled out that the compression in the barrel is low which would affect the starting of the quad . You also say you have put WD40 in the barrel via the spark plug hole and when pulled it smoked this does look like it is firing but it would be better to pour a little fuel / 2 stroke mixture in the barrel only about a tea spoon amount otherwise you will flood the plug . I would be looking at taking the carburettor of and cleaning it thoroughly with carb cleaner or by putting it in a ultrasonic cleaner if your not confident in doing this I would buy one of eBay they are cheap . I’m guessing that the quads been sat up for a while and by doing this the carburettor will bung up with residue that is left after the fuel has evaporated and block the jets in the carburettor this is what I would suggest is the problem with the non starting hope that helps Richard

Hello I've just bought a new quad but from a " warehouse " so don't think I'm going to be able to swap it . I've had it running but kept cutting out , then unscrewed the idle screw a bit and it idled a bit slower but still ticked over . Then when I pressed the throttle kept cutting out . But now won't start . I've tried the pull start about 20 times and won't go will it be flooded now ? So should I try and deflood it and out the idle screw back in ?

Hi the kill switch should not affect the starting of the mini quad it’s for stopping the engine only it shorts out the spark . Try taking the spark plug out and laying the lead and spark plug on to the head making sure that the spark plug is making a contact with the head and then try the pull cord if you have s spark and it’s not starting it looks like you have s fuel blockage issue normally meaning taking off the carburetor and fully cleaning the internals hope that helps and thank you for watching my channel and taking the time to leave a comment Richard
