hello to all
i'm sure i'm not the only one waiting for this heat to go away. anyway, i was thinking about starting up all my machines in the garage yesterday. i usually do this with all my stuff to prevent starting problems after sitting for so long. up first, my atv. it cranks, but no start. i tried everything, but it will not start. my list of everything-
fully charged battery
checked for spark- yes
new plug with correct gap
fuel could be a few months old, but it has sta-bil
tried starter fluid in plug hole-starts then dies in 1 second
fuel valve "on"
i think i have fuel, not sure, in cylinder, light smell of gas
think its the carb?
i'm trying to figure out where the drain screw on the carb is. my manual says to drain it, try to start again, then drain to see if fuel is present. with a recent back injury, thats not too easy. i see the carb kind of burried in rubber lines, etc. i do not want to turn the wrong screw-idle, mixture, etc. can anyone help with this? should i get a new carb? remove and clean? this is my splitter hauler, so it needs fixin. thanks to all who can help
