My quad has sat for about two months, due to adding new shocks, swingarm, ect......
At first I thought it was the Sparks rev box. I bought a new stock CDI, and the carb is getting gas. It just cranks and cranks, and finally the battery goes dead. I've recharged it three times, with the same reults. It doesn't take long to drain it. A couple times, it sounded as though it was gonna start, and just when you think you're going for a ride, it goes back to that hollow cranking sound, where you can tell it isn't going to.
Also, my plug cap/wire sets on the plug rather loosely. After the battery was about 1/2 wore down, I pulled the plug (new) and held it against the headpipe, and saw no spark.
Any ideas? I want to ride the darn thing, but don't want to pay the dealer $60/hr if it's something stupid, like me.
