my quad won't start

[tman12345]

i just recently changed the battery and it started up right away and now a week later it will not start any suggestions.

[dariusld]

Does it turn, or nothing?

[tman12345]

it started and died and them it would not start anymore

[dariusld]

So its cranking?

[tman12345]

yes its just not firing i guess

[dariusld]

Before you changed the battery how long was it sitting? Maybe the carb is clogged up?

[tman12345]

maybe a month but i would start it every week or so

[dariusld]

Is there a strong gas odor?

[dariusld]

Is the bike stock?

[tman12345]

no not really

[tman12345]

no its got aftermarket stuff

[dariusld]

Is there alot of gas in the tank? One time I seen gas in the tank, but wouldnt start, just wasnt enough gas. Have you tried pull starting? If it smells like gas, then your probably getting fuel.

[tman12345]

maybe there enough gas but what do you mean like pull start like on a lawnmower

[dariusld]

Rev box? If yes, battery needs to be 100%.

[dariusld]

Pull start, push start, tie it to another quad and drag it behind to start it, you know what I mean?

[tman12345]

o yea pull push

I have a TC racing rev box, the battery is like 6 days old

[tman12345]

This also helps others:)

it ended up being the knob to turn on the fuel line was mounted on the wrong way so when i thought it was in the fuel on part it was actually off. When i turned i saw fuel go into carb so then i tried and it started.

yeeaa it happens along with not seeing the choke on and wondering why its not running right!!!
