Well this is the first time ever I have had a problem with this quad. It has sat for about a yr. Although I did have it started and it ran just a few months ago. I rode it down the block only.
I recently did work on it. I had to remove the cam chain tensioner and re install it. This was due to a broken bolt. I don't think that would cause a problem.
I also installed a new throttle cable. That should be a no problem install.
And I did notice the large valve cover bolts where real loose, the ones you would remove to adjust the valves. I probably road it with those on that little run down my street.
I just don't see any of those things causing an issue. But wanted to list the changes I did...
I have fresh gas and a new spark plug. I also swapped the CDI.
What its doing is, it will start for about 1 second and then die. It seems to die immediatly after I let go of the start button.
I tested spark and it has spark when I'm holding the start button.
Fuel, .. seems to have fuel... I know fuel is getting into the carb and atleast to the bowl.
I need advice what should I test? What could it be? Any help would be great. Thank you.
