My ATV still wont start

[DangerousDean]

When i got my new uni filter, my quad wouldnt start up as good, so i changed the jetting (to what you guys said) and it still wont start propperly, it takes like 5 minutes of tapping the gas and turning it over.. after about the 3rd one it turns over a bit sputters and dies.. does that for a bit, and then finnally it starts to idle

Its not cold out either... like +20c
Why wont it start up ?

Why wont it start up ? Maybe your pilot jet?Check for chit in your carb and change plugs.

Yep. If it wasn't before, it probably is now after screwing with getting it started. I have had this happen, more than once. Always good to have spare plugs on hand.

I have like 3 extra plugs, but i have no plug wrench... stupid plug being like .... inside the engine :grr:

Get a thin walled 18mm or 17mm (Don't remember which) socket, it will work.

18mm deep well socket..and extender makes the job much easier too.

I can't believe Honda designed the engine to where the plug would be in the spot it's in.

[UglyMotha™]

it's not really in a bad spot, it's cake to get to, the thing that sucks is there's not enough clearance around the plug to get a regular socket in there

[zephead400ex]

True.
