Hi all,
Boy am I glad I found this forum!
My sons thunder has recently stopped running.
I put a few plugs in and it's fouling them instantly.
Just Prior too it not running, it really, REALLY was smoking. So much that it wasn't rideable. So for some reason I disassembled the oil injection and mixed a tank of fuel. It smoked less, but it was loading up still, until it eventually stopped running.
I popped the carb off, and everything appears to look normal. I cleaned the carb, looked at the floats, they look clean and empty.
Unfortunately I am not sure where the air fuel mixture should be set, I thought it was 1.5 turns out, but the carb is just dumping a ton of fuel into the cylinder with each kick. I've gone down to 1 turn, back up to 2 turns....no difference.
This Thunder also has the electric choke, which I'm not a fan of.
So any help would be great! And appreciated by a little boy who wants his quad back :scary:
