I know that normally coolant on a plug is blown head gasket, but the quad hasn't been ran in about a month. I kicked it a few times last weekend and it wouldn't start, tonight I was doing some other work and and removed the silencer. I poured about a quarter ounce of coolan out of it, then i removed the plug and it had coolant on it. The motor only has one race on it from a new top end. Does anyone know what the problem is?


I would appreciate any help, thank you. :ermm:

It's gotta be the headgasket.... OR, your cylinder has a crack. I'll bet your crank bearings are shot too.

Im pretty sure its the head gasket because the cylinder is new as well. I checked the crank bearings while I had it tore apart, they seamed to be fine as well.
