    Hi, i recently picked up a small mini quad for next to nothing, bit of a project if ya like

    have it near striped out in the shed whilst trying to get it running

    problem i am having is when i kick it over (pull cord) it revs up and then cuts out, i took the carb off and noticed that the jet in side wasnt connected proper and also the jet was cloged, so uncloged it and reattached it but still seems to be the same

    anyone have any advise on how to sort this?

    or

    anyone around the firhouse/tallaght area that knows how to fix these and wouldnt mind droping down to mine :)

    Thanks

    is there a screw for adjusting de carb... if so try turning the screw when she starts, try it in both directions as i think the mixture is off thats what usually causes bad idle or revving like that...
    i have never done it on a quad but have loads of experience in dealing with carved engines...
    and sorry not in dublin so can't help...

    thats the one, try adjusting it in either direction till you get it to stay running then with small movements try to get the engine idling at constant rpm,s
    then try it with a bit of throttle etc, and see how she runs..

    but be carful as if the mixture is off by too much you could do damage to the engine, have a look on you tube there is bound to be a video etc about tuning the engine to the correct pitch etc...

    well i never got that far :) was just about to give it ago and the dam pull cord snapped on me, when i took that off to fix the coil spring decided that it was coming off to lol

    anyhow got the coil spring back on, reattached the pull cord, but now

    when i pull it, the metal piece inside dosnt slide out to grip the motor to spin :(

    its really testing me today
