You can smell when a car needs a tune up?

:huh

Ok, good luck with that.


I gaurentee you wut he smelt was carbon, get it timed, adjust the rockers, and run it hard for a while to clean it out.

usually when a car smells like rotten eggs it means the cat. convertor is going bad.. but since quads obviously dont have them i dunno unless you had taco bell or something before you went out riding
