zilla stalling.

zilla rider · #1 (**permalink**) 03-08-2008

hey guys i was riding my quadzilla one day and it kept stalling on me at the end of the day. it has gas and i checked the filter, everything seems to be ok. It starts up fine when its cold but once it warms up it dies out. if anyone has experienced this before or knows anything about it please help me thanks.

thanks man im gonna check that asap. someone told me that the reeds could be messed up, is that possible, and also can i use a compression tester from a car to check compression?

yes long as the plug hole is the same. reeds will make it start hard,,check the reeds, good thing to check..

i checked the reeds, there v force 3, they look clean but i really dont know how they would look if they were bad. and my float wasnt bad but i cleaned the carb anyway. can i check the compression with the carb off?

I dont know but i would assume so.

Yes you can check with the carb off.
