I don't know where your located but here where I am even with a 42 pilot, I had to put my choke back on, or I was FOREVER getting it to warm up/idle.

[crxjarred]

well i have to repetadly start up rev up and then it dies for like 2 3 min then it will finaly stay running but wont ever idle and im in bottem of missiouri if that helps

Push the throttle twice prior to starting, the accelerator pump will shoot alittle gas in the motor and it should start easier.

[crxjarred]

i do every time i try to start and it will only rev up then die lol i dont get it

[Honda#4]

Whats your jetting at? besides the 42pilot

[crxjarred]

i dont have a #42 i kno ur suposto have one just asking is this why its doing it and i beleave its all stock

[Honda#4]

Yea if you put that in then it should be ok I would think.

[crxjarred]

ok well i gota take everything off to adjust my valves anyway so i gess i can do that how much do they uswaly cost

[Honda#4]

5 or 6 bucks

[crxjarred]

ok sweet thats not too bad thanks

[Honda#4]

Yep!

[crxjarred]

i have read that they run lean stock should i play with the main jet to?? wile im in there

[Honda#4]

Personally I never incountered this but yea I heard the same but if you dont have a pipe I think going up one size wouldnt hurt but do a plug check first when you put the 42 in I doubt you would need it. I think its the 05's and up that come lean from the factory.

[crxjarred]

lol i cant get the plug out haha when i traded my blaster for it it wasnt running and had been sitten for like a year or 2 and he sayed it needed new rings and it smokes only in hi rpms and has plenty of power but i wana check the compresssion anyways but i cant get the damn plug outa gota have a spechal socket or somthen cus im pirty sure it needs a new plug the way this guy took care of it

[Honda#4]

Yea idk, but to get the plug out is a real pain if you dont have the actual socket that came with the quad, off hand idk what size the plug is but I heard a few people grinding a socket thinner to get down in there.

[crxjarred]

its a 18mm socket i kno that but it didnt have the tool kit with it and it sucks cus i looked at the price of one its like 25bucks and my dad dosnt like tearen up a new sockets lol

[xDeeVy465x]

you can buy a universal spark plug socket.

[Dangerous400EX]

yup none of my sockets will fit except for the one that came with the quad.

[droppedmazda]

you can go to ur local atv shop and buy a stock plug wrench.

[crxjarred]
