ok, i am hopefully going to be selling my quad next month but i have a bit of a problem....
about four weeks ago i wrecked my quad. the only thing that happened is i flipped it over onto the bars, it slid just a BIT, then it rolled back onto the tires. now, i have recieved all the parts neccessary to make it look stock again, to fix what WAS broken. so i did that today. i woke up and went outside to start putting on some parts (steering stem, bars, controls ON bars) and i put the key in, pulled the choke and w/ one push of the button it started RIGHT UP (keep in mind i havent even tried to start it in about four weeks). it ran fine, idle fine, then started to bog a bit so i turned up the idle just a tad to keep it from bogging while i took off the tarp and the lock. it shut off, then i started it right back up, no problems. well, it shut off about three minutes later and i havent been able to get it started back up SINCE. the battery has enough charge, i tried push starting it down a great big hill. now when i wrecked, i highly doubt that anything happened to the motor, or atleast i cant see what could have happened to it that would prevent it from starting. it has plenty of gas, battery has enough charge.......im basically lost! anyone w/ any advice on what to check, what to look at?! i've got the quad back to normal/stock appearence, but i cant seem to get it started now. im crossing my fingers and saying a prayer that it is just b/c its been sitting for four weeks untouched.......but at the same time i do not understand why it started NO problem twice then shut off and now wont start.
someone please help! im trying to sell this next month and i need to get it fixed!
