I have 2 quads here that aren't starting. I am so thankful for this. Ive never worked on anything in my life and im a 31 year old female lol. I'm hoping now I can get them started. Ones mine ones my grandpas. My mom also has two quads that have been sitting for 15 years so. Maybe once I get a little more confident I'll start to mess with them too. I was gonna take them all to a small local shop but I figure I should probably learn all I can about them
To be honest, after 15 years you may need to replace the carburetors. I would ensure the fuel tank is clean with fresh gas, new fuel filter, new spark plug, new air filter, clean the carburetor and then it should fire up. Also, change the oil and oil filter. Let me know if you need any help.
First off, this is a very insightful video to watch. I love how you don't skip past the struggles. If newbies like myself don't see the struggle, we can't grasp the problem or see a solution. Also, this video is fun to watch. Keeps us entertained for sure! No brakes.....Death trap...lmao! Just so funny. Thank you!!!!
Killer channel great z400 diagnosis video. My son and I have 2 a 2013 fuel injected with a yoshi pipe and a 2007 fully done with a hmf exhaust and open/ jetted to match. We love them both quick and fun machines. Thank u for ur content keep up with the z400 stuff
Lollol! BROO!!! You got me rolling over here! LoL "I don't even know if it has oil" and then precedes to send it! Lmbo as if 5 years no oil change ain't bad enough! Lollol loved the video! Got Me missing my Z! 😭 Lol the Z is definitely a beast for a 400! Especially modded!
@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL I have a question I went riding a quad for the first time last week and now I want to buy a quad myself what do you recommend buying I want a sports quad where I want to ride forest paths sand paths grass paths but I was wondering what is better a honda trx 450r or a yamaha yfz450r and what the pros and cons of both quads are
I have a fourwheeler that I’ve been working on for a while I replaced everything. It’s a 1995 Honda Trx 200, it won’t start. It gets spark but when I hit the throttle and the gas it’s like it’s trying but it won’t. I’m not sure what is going on.
Try spraying gas through your carb with spray bottle if it starts your carb may need cleaned or adjusted. Clogged fuel filter or petcock valve plugged. If that doesn't work check for spark. Compression test should be between 175-205. Check with throttle wide open. If every thing good there check electrical side. The kill switches are notorious for shorting out. Honda is vary reliable . Good luck.
As long as you have good oil and good fuel. If it runs rough you're not going to hurt anything riding it. It may be running rough due to a clogged carburetor.
i have a raptor 250 and it only idles when it’s warm. i have the idle turned all the way up and it still idles really low. the carburetor is also cleaned. help please
There has to be a disconnect between the crankshaft and front sprocket. Couple of things I've seen is the clutch basket can snap also you may be missing teeth on a gear in the transmission.
Mine just went through that. Coincidentally right after conditioning the air filter with oil. The short cut fix I learned: remove the idle ages on side of carb and fill hole with carb cleaner. Flip throttle once and let it soak about an hour. Viola! Problem solved
I have a 2003 Honda rancher I have babied it since the day I got it almost 3 years ago it’s starting to run roughy it will cut in and out then today it cut off when I was letting it cool down and when I started it ran really riff and cut off and when I gave it gas it would cut off or spit and spudder also my neutral light went and and it will not start it just clicks one time when I try to start it and it always started the first turn when I hit the start button I let off immediately
I had this same issue with one of my machines. Carburetor engines can be hard to start when cold because fuel vaporizes less easily, and can condense on the intake manifold walls, starving the cylinders of fuel. This requires a richer fuel mixture (more fuel to air) to start and run the engine until it warms up. You can adjust this by increasing the size of your jet.
My 300 sportrax sounds exactly like this, I changed the coil and couldn’t remember if I changed the spark plug… I’ve clean the carb 3 times now. And it would only want to run on choke
i have a Polaris atv sportsman 500 HO 2002,i cant start it after i turn it off,it starts only when jumped,also i replaced the stator and the battery is getting charged while running at 14v,when i turn it off and try turning back again nothing,could it be a battery? the battery is 3 months old and i drove around 20 miles only
i have a trx250x and it starts but has a poppung noise… sometimes wont even start… i have a fmf slip on it was fine for years until i let it sit for like a year then in 2021 it started the popping shit. idk what to do.
It's likely that all your issues are fuel related. After letting it sit, the carburetor needs to be cleaned and the fuel tank flushed. I hope this helps!
I got an older 110cc quad. Not sure the year or model but has the black box on the handle bars similar to yours that says "Lower" any idea what it is? Or anyone in the comments, looking to get all new wire harness for it but can not find out what that component is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I don’t know if you’ll see this but I have a Tao raptor 200 2022 I can’t get to idle, sometimes it will for about 30 seconds at most it wasn’t running so here’s what I replaced spark plug,starter,starter solenoid,battery, oil,gas, and battery. Any suggestions would be very appreciated it’s my first time working on a 4 wheeler
It's the carburetor I have a Tao Rhino and with the stock carb it wouldn't even stay idle. I bought a Nibbi 26mm with flange and put it on and it started immediately. It starts first try I just need to get it tuned correctly. But as if right now I can get it up to 50. Also make sure you change the oil immediately they have shitty shipping oil in them. But I'm running a 115 main jet 45 pilot jet Needle clip in middle and im about 600 feet above sea level. Take the carb off and get it opened up and go from there
So I have a 2015 brute force 300 and it starts but it says I have no gas witch I do and when I hit the gas it bogs down what do I do I rebuilt the carb after set for a year and it ran for a good minute now it won’t get up and go
I have no clue what wrong with my quad it just really hard to get start I change the plug that about it I crank and crank and just won’t start east at all
You do realize down means the choke is on and up means the choke is off on those things… it wouldn’t run right because u kept trying to run it with the choke on

I have a fourwheeler that I’ve been working on for a while I replaced everything. It’s a 1995 Honda Trx 200, it won’t start. It gets spark but when I hit the throttle and the gas it’s like it’s trying but it won’t. I’m not sure what is going on.
Have you replaced the carburetor?
Same here. Carb replaced with elec choke. Voltage reg replaced. Fresh fuel. Still have starting problems. Gets spark too. WTF?
Check your timing
Try spraying gas through your carb with spray bottle if it starts your carb may need cleaned or adjusted. Clogged fuel filter or petcock valve plugged. If that doesn't work check for spark. Compression test should be between 175-205. Check with throttle wide open. If every thing good there check electrical side. The kill switches are notorious for shorting out. Honda is vary reliable .

You will burn the starter out if you keep trying the start button for so long then the battery will die you will just have to put it on the charger
Very true but times like these it's necessary

I love reviving old machines. But you should give your cousin hell for letting that thing go so far down the shitter.

What spray did you use to clean the carb ?
Just a standard carb and choke cleaner
@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL thanks
This dude is hilarious he dont draining oil so he'll burn it out. Ok just one more time guys rev limiter. He had me giggling a couple times.
what are your gopro settings bro looks really good
Thanks man!! Are you talking about the quality or the color?

Hey! I have a 08 Raptor 250, and it runs, but it runs rough and it makes me nervous to potentially damage it by running it
As long as you have good oil and good fuel. If it runs rough you're not going to hurt anything riding it. It may be running rough due to a clogged carburetor.

Fuel Air Spark, I'm a newbie and that hit the spot
May I ask what your recording with? I'm wanting to start recording while riding
Yes, no problem. Im using the GoPro Hero 10 Black. I utilize either my helmet or a head mount for the hands free display.
I have a Chinese quad I bought to flip. I replaced the carb, filter and spark plug but it still wants to bog at full throttle. Any advise?
hey bro check the ignition coil and the airfilter with fuel filter
Yes check the filters but also check the jet sizes.
It's your main jet size
Cool and helpful vid...thanks!!
Awesome!! Glad I was able to help!
My 06 trx300ex starts and goes through all gears but won’t drive any advice?
There has to be a disconnect between the crankshaft and front sprocket. Couple of things I've seen is the clutch basket can snap also you may be missing teeth on a gear in the transmission.
I have a 2021 Kawasaki brute force 300 and it turns on but when I press the gas it hardly accelerates. Do you what the problem is ?
To give you the best diagnosis, I would need to ask this. When it's in neutral, does it rev up easily?
@@FREEDOMSYNDICATEOFFICIAL it kinda takes awhile to turn on but once it’s on it runs but just wont accelerate as good as it used to
Mine just went through that. Coincidentally right after conditioning the air filter with oil. The short cut fix I learned: remove the idle ages on side of carb and fill hole with carb cleaner. Flip throttle once and let it soak about an hour. Viola! Problem solved
Maybe in lag mode from loose belt.

You likely killed the battery after continuous starting. The clicking can also be a solenoid. The rough running is a dirty carburetor.
Hi boss I need some help
Have a polaris predator 500cc but just lost spark
Cdi and stator is good
What can it be
There’s a black wire that u can unplug and it basically bypass all kill switches see if u get spark then
@@ronthegamer1239 where is this wire situated
Where can I find it
Have you checked the plug wire with a spark plug checker?

Buy a new carb
I already know that I’m bout to buy a pos for cheap and fix er right up and I’m 3 min in 😎

Or anyone in the comments, looking to get all new wire harness for it but can not find out what that component is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This is a death trap.. -continues to give full throttle😂
I have a yfz 450 it starts but doesn’t idle.I changed the spark plug and cleaned the Jets in the carburetor. But doesn’t idle.
Have you adjusted the idle up as far as it can go?
Do you have instagram?
Or clean air filter
The sound of your four wheeler is the exact sound of mine
🤣🤣🤣 exhaust leak or choppy lol
I don’t know if you’ll see this but I have a Tao raptor 200 2022 I can’t get to idle, sometimes it will for about 30 seconds at most it wasn’t running so here’s what I replaced spark plug,starter,starter solenoid,battery, oil,gas, and battery. Any suggestions would be very appreciated it’s my first time working on a 4 wheeler
I’m having this issue now, with the Coleman raptor at200-b which is literally the two Tao. Did you ever figure it out?

Thumbs up for helping you're liberal neighbor!
🤣🤣🤣 right!!
Mine does what your did in the beginning but doesn’t start at all just cranks and cranks I’m gonna try everything you did and see if it works
Try spraying starting fluid in the air box just to get it started. Did you ever get it fixed?
Push your handlebar choke back up and adjust the idle choke on the carb
my quad will only start on starting fluid but wont stay on any ideas?
It's not getting enough fuel
Make some racing videos of quads!
Alright!!! 🤘😎
I have no clue what wrong with my quad it just really hard to get start I change the plug that about it I crank and crank and just won’t start east at all
Fuel issues.. Could be both too much air for too much fuel. Have you confirmed that you have a good spark?

Idk what wrong tbh

I’m in the same brakes situation. Going to try and fix them without breaking anything. Tryna brake not break
What state are you in?
You do realize down means the choke is on and up means the choke is off on those things… it wouldn’t run right because u kept trying to run it with the choke on
It was opposite day lol... No it didn't matter, I eventually bought a new carburetor and now it runs great!
oem or Chinese carb? im having problems with mine but cant afford an oem carburetor
What if you dont have no spark. What could be the cause
Your CDI
Or stator
I tried all of these took my engine apart and it was so seized and it was thick rust took me ages
Oh no! Sorry brother!
Dumped the fuel ⛽️ at you Liberal neighbors house! LOLOLOL! FJB!
🤣🤣🤣 I knew you were going to love that one! 😁😁
It looks like you had the choke on the whole time when riding that’s why it was also idling high
Prolly 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely running lean
Yeah, we found she wasn't getting enough fuel
Sweet dude
I’m confused I thought down was more choke? I thought up was no choke
It can be different depending on if it was modified or changed from year to year
still wont run
I'm sorry brother 😔
You know saying you dumped fuel in drinking water is a misdemeanor crime right?
Not in Mexico 🤘😁
What was the problem!?
