If Your ATV / Dirt Bike Won't Start or Runs Rough, it's Likely 1 of These 3

Air, Spark, and Fuel! These are the elements needed to run. Trouble shoot each and eliminate them as you go. Eventually you will discover the source of failure.

QUADNATION

[@kayleighdrouin6378]

I have 2 quads here that aren't starting. I am so thankful for this. Ive never worked on anything in my life and im a 31 year old female lol. I'm hoping now I can get them started. Ones mine ones my grandpas. My mom also has two quads that have been sitting for 15 years so. Maybe once I get a little more confident I'll start to mess with them too. I was gonna take them all to a small local shop but I figure I should probably learn all I can about them

[@CarlosAide]

did you get them running?

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I would like to know too

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

To be honest, after 15 years you may need to replace the carburetors. I would ensure the fuel tank is clean with fresh gas, new fuel filter, new spark plug, new air filter, clean the carburetor and then it should fire up. Also, change the oil and oil filter. Let me know if you need any help.

[@Soukie077]

I have a fourwheeler that I’ve been working on for a while I replaced everything. It’s a 1995 Honda Trx 200, it won’t start. It gets spark but when I hit the throttle and the gas it’s like it’s trying but it won’t. I’m not sure what is going on.

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

Have you replaced the carburetor?

[@kevinw2241]

Same here. Carb replaced with elec choke. Voltage reg replaced. Fresh fuel. Still have starting problems. Gets spark too. WTF?

[@MichaelKnight-s2y]

Check your timing

[@johnnbw]

Try spraying gas through your carb with spray bottle if it starts your carb may need cleaned or adjusted. Clogged fuel filter or petcock valve plugged. If that doesn't work check for spark. Compression test should be between 175-205. Check with throttle wide open. If every thing good there check electrical side. The kill switches are notorious for shorting out. Honda is vary reliable . Good luck.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated it’s my first time working on a 4 wheeler

[@ronaldpayne3357]

I’m having this issue now, with the Coleman raptor at200-b which is literally the two Tao. Did you ever figure it out?

[@garybrady7245]

It's the carburetor I have a Tao Rhino and with the stock carb it wouldn't even stay idle. I bought a Nibbi 26mm with flange and put it on and it started immediately. It starts first try I just need to get it tuned correctly. But as if right now I can get it up to 50. Also make sure you change the oil immediately they have shitty shipping oil in them. But I'm running a 115 main jet 45 pilot jet Needle clip in middle and im about 600 feet above sea level. Take the carb off and get it opened up and go from there

[@amybennett9056]

Hey! I have a 08 Raptor 250, and it runs, but it runs rough and it makes me nervous to potentially damage it by running it

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

As long as you have good oil and good fuel. If it runs rough you're not going to hurt anything riding it. It may be running rough due to a clogged carburetor.

[@Jordan_Chapman]

I have a 2000 trx300 ex and it dose not like to start but once you get it warm, it runs perfect any suggestions?

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

I had this same issue with one of my machines. Carburetor engines can be hard to start when cold because fuel vaporizes less easily, and can condense on the intake manifold walls, starving the cylinders of fuel. This requires a richer fuel mixture (more fuel to air) to start and run the engine until it warms up. You can adjust this by increasing the size of your jet.

[@johnnbw]

Valve adjusted.

[@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL]

It's likely that all your issues are fuel related. After letting it sit, the carburetor needs to be cleaned and the fuel tank flushed. I hope this helps!
