ATV REPAIR; how to fix a twister hammerhead 150 atv, go-cart, dune buggy

[@jerryferdun8634]

Jeremy, as a fleet manager myself I am amazed every day how many people I am in contact with that have no skills to do what you just showed us. The way you displayed and explained so much information in a simple, common sense manner was refreshing beyond words. The step by step diagnosis and methods with the simple test equipment will help anyone who watches this. I am now a fan of you. If you ever want to come to California I would hire you in a New York Minute to run my shop!

[@videovaulttv1]

I changed the shifter and now i seen to not be able to get it back on seems like i dont have enough slack to get in back in place to screw it down, how can i loosen wire to get enough slack to fot right?

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

My daughter's Trailmaster 150 XRX has been sitting a while. I decided to get it going again, added a Uni filter and swapped out the old carb with a re-jetted newer one, new plug, new battery... Wasted a whole day trying to get it to start. Finally decided to switch back to old carb, THEN I realized I had the bowl drain open the whole time. DOH!!!😜

[@magicone9327]

Great job. Curious if those machines have a reverse?

[@tommybyrd9073]

I have one just like this I want to know is can you put any type of motor on it or dose it have to have the 150

[@SlaxFS]

so I put a new carb on and stuff it started up ran but when I push on the gas it like won’t engage in gear and go foward you kinda have to feather it but I needed someone to push me to get it shifted and when ur driving it like won’t shift to go faster and ideas why man please

[@mitchndjnmtch]

Mine has a variation on exceleration . what might be causing that?

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Check wires to ign coil make shure they are tight or replace the power pack

[@grnsgottaM]

Thanks for the video. I've put both the electric kit, and the carb kit into mine and it runs like it was new. $200, for a starter motor, coil plug, stator, starter relay, carburetor (with choke), air filter, fuel filter, spark plug, tank filter, and manifold. That's a lot of parts for the price! I was hoping you'd disassemble the carb and you did. Just rebuilt the old carb and I knew I was missing a piece. Wanted to know what I was looking for, and found my float needle and spring!

[@Jesus_Saves_J2415]

What if it starts and revs up but no forward or reverse?

[@pernelle1]

Rather this helps me or not with my particular situation. By the time you began removing the filter box I knew somewhere down the line I will need this video. Thank you Sir.

[@tylerjones8168]

My sons hammer head le-150 won’t go above 15 or 20 mph what should I be looking at

[@SlaxFS]

Yo mine starts but won’t go do you know why it starts and everything sounds good but won’t drive and idea please??

[@SlaxFS]

It drives but you like it won’t engage in gear you kinda needed someone to push me to get me going but it won’t really engage in gear

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

i can fix it how far are you from dallas texas

[@sliccrick9883]

I’m having trouble with my hammerhead twister. Worked fine til a week ago. Will try to crank but it won’t turn over. Replaced the carb but no success. I’m thinking wiring maybe c.d.I. I live in Dallas if you’d be interested in servicing it

[@mitchndjnmtch]

I just turned the carb over and removed the cover and cleaned the jets and reinstalled it. I used a tie wrap to attach it too the rail so it stayed upright. Did not have to remove all the attachments.

[@dvdgreg1]

video helped me on my 150 carter. I too replace carb and it had the hose for draining carb and a valve to be mounted WHERE. I may use the old carb bottom cover; it had the valve as part of the carb with a hose barb

[@johnnybrimer2453]

[@scottogden5274]

My buggy starts, idles and will accelerate to a slow pace but will blubba and choke when i try to give it full gas. I have replaced the carby, coil and lead,cdi spark plug. What could be causing this? Please reply. Thanks

[@jaybee7653]

I just put new carb on and it's got spark but won't run I haven't done the plug yet but it's getting spark I can't figure it out

[@biggestilo]

my vacume line isint plugged to anything. And and I don't see where it goes

[@daley1985]

plugs into a little nozzel on the front of the air filter assembly next to the air connector to the carby (nozzel is facing the steeringwheel)

[@robertfockler7299]

Hi I have the Carter brothers version of the kart you are working on my problem is after I start it, it will not engage in forward or reverse the clutch opens and closes when I hit the gas just won't move the tires.

[@bobv2312]

same issue here did you find a fix for yours?

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

[@deannlindsay8844]

was running and stopped hasn't started since.have no spark checked all wiring all looks good what's next step what's the power pack is it the CDI

[@manuelcampa9779]

Hows it going i have a carter bros 150 cc basicly the same thing, i checked for spark, it sparks, sprayed gas directly into carb engine just turnes over no signes of it wanting to start it was runing just fine a few days ago until i layed it on its side while riding lol after that it was having trouble ideling and now it wont start, do you think it has any thing to do with the valve adjustment. Thanks

[@purestock23]

This is the same thing mine is doing. I ordered a carb on amazon for $28 bucks glade I know a little about working on Engines so I wouldn’t run in to paying that much to get mine going. People bring me their Go-carts to work on and I just charge for parts an take anything extra that the owner wants to pay me. I am not a mechanic so I don’t charge the mechanic price. Now I can’t wait to get my new carburetor but then I’m gonna need all 4 tires but other then that I’m ready to cruise around on mine.

[@jonathondonovan9257]

I have a Baja Dune 150 after buying and adding a few parts it starts on a dime and idles perfect , once I hit the gas it acts like the brakes on , it creeps forward like 6 inches or a foot and dies if I push the gas all the way down . My belt was super tight so I took Variator off and someone had forced it on tooth on tooth and wasn't all the way on and the rollers weren't seated were wedged in sideways , ordered new complete variator , question is , would that be whats keeping it from going once rpm and gas is pressed

[@jonathondonovan9257]

Has new fuel, ignition and other stuff , rolls back and forth , brakes aren't locked up

[@fishdresser4759]

I've got a crossfire 150. Sat for a while. New fuel lines and filters. Cleaned old carb but it would only idle. Brand new carb put on yesterday and now it wont even start. Good spark, good fuel good air. It just will not fire. Any thoughts?

Hi My buggy is having the same problem, have you found the problem yet ??

[@lordjeff63]

I have the same kart my drive belt broke off. When I took off the cover to to change it. I noticed their are two half gears for reverse with a spring. The spring fell off. Can you be so kind as to tell me how to put it back on. I have been looking everywhere for instructions. My eight year old would love to get this back on the road.

[@outlaw_boy0215]

sir i just got a question...if i send you a pic can you tell me where this hose goes? be much appreciated. i cant figure it out

[@mosiahrivas811]

Hello sir, I am hoping you read this. I too have a 150cc dunebuggy and have currently run into the problem that when I put it in forward or reverse it completely stalls. It idles just fine but it seems like when I put it into drive that it wants to take off and completely dies. Any ideas on what to check first. I've never had this problem before. Also the linkage came off and I had to put it back on. But I don't think this would cause a problem.

[@claytonbridges8516]

mosiah rivas it’s the carb prolly, just clean it out get a new one

Hey I have a go kart similar and I’ve been working on it but I cleaned the carburetor and changed the oil and put new gear oil in it but when I went to drive it it only went a few feet then lost it’s drive and just kept happening. Do you know what could be its problem? It’s a kandi 150cc.

[@michaeldunn150]

My hammer head won't even crank over only clicks at the relay. I replaced the CDI, starter relay, and coil and still clicks???? please help?

[@dallinshumway3577]

Mine used to do this, I had to replace both the fuses... then it finally started working again.. also could be a bad ground

[@michaeldunn150]

Dallin Shumway What fuses? I know of one.

[@dallinshumway3577]

Michael Dunn mines a 250 ss... and both fuses are found right next to the cdi.. I actually ended upgrading the wiring because I kept blowing a fuse.. think it costed $6....

[@dallinshumway3577]

Michael Dunn also you will need to double check your starter.. mine went out last year and the machine would click at the relay as well...

Good video. I have a helix 150, very similar to what you just showed. I am wondering if you could please help me. Today I replaced the carb, and it now runs good. Heres the problem. the go kart will not shift from any gear (R or D) with the engine running. When I shut the engine off, it will shift. With the rear end jacked up and running, it also will shift. Nothing happens when the buggy is on the ground. Any ideas ? If there is an answer, it seems as you would know.

Hey man, i see that you are still commenting so i have a question, what is wrong with my hammerhead twister 150 cc gy6 if it bogs down after any more than 25 - 50% throttle, I've been told it was a jet that needs to be bored out or just to get a new one, but it has new plugs, new head, new carb, new intake manifold, new battery, and a new plug wire. It was sitting at a relatives house in texas sort of exposed for about 2 - 4 years and it needs some work. Its drivable but not enjoyable, so was wondering if you knew how to fix it, havent checked vacuum, jet, cdi, electronic choke or wiring, it has a fuse loose, but not blown that gets bad connection sometimes, so just wanting some help, thanks in return

Jeremy, I am having an unusual problem. There is a, I guess, overflow hose coming off of the head of the engine. The problem is... gas is shooting out of it when the engine is running. I have a background in small engines but these chinese 150cc engines are not like the Briggs I am used to. I even disconnected the gas line but it still shoots gas out??? Should I go into the gas business cause this thing is making it's own gas?? Can you help me by telling me what makes gas overflow from the line connected to the head?
