Quad wont start

[QuadraceYA]

I havnt started my quad for a few months .

Its acting like its not gettin gas , so I took off the carb , did a quick cleaning (wasnt dirty) put it back together still the same thing .

I check the spark , not the best looking spark but it is sparking

So i dump a little premix in the cylinder , fires right up

Maybe i just need to clean my carb a little better ? ?

Check your reeds they may be sticking.

gas is making it into the carb but its not starting.. cleaned out all the jets i think choke and air screw

edit reeds seem alright

CLEAN the jets again. that is the only way fuel get s to the cylinder. check the pilot i would pull both jets and hot some carb cleaner through each hole in the carb using the straw. should spary out in carb

I agree on checking the reeds. They will stick together with the film of gas left in the motor. If they are really gummed up they can crack when you fire it up. It's best to make sure the carb and jets are clean along with the reeds and a new plug. Also a fresh clean air filter.

take an air compressor and spray air through where the gas line hooks up and up through the jet. dirt might be clogged in it

Ok if the reeds are good.... You said you hadn't started it in a few months, did you have a fuel stabilizer in it? If not I would suggest draining the tank, putting some new mix in it and then like nelson, fpmxer, and crrider said clean the carb, clean the filter, and put a new plug in it

[QuadraceYA]

Cleaned the reeds , cleaned the hell outta the carb new gas, new filter , new plug NO START......

I pour gas in the cylinder it starts ? ? ??

bump any ideas?

[jsmstorm]

If you put gas in the cylinder and start it will it continue running or does it just die once the gas that was in there burns off?
