It's especially important to turn the gas off when transporting the quad. If there's a leaking problem it will show up when the fuel is sloshing around.

 

Now I'm freaked out too....I only ran the machine for about a 1/2 mile after I filled it and it seemed to run fine. I don't know if a stuck needle would cause it to run bad. The true test will be when I get home to check the dipstick. I am calling the dealer that I bought it from to have a conversation with them. I really hope they are willing to work with me on this. They assured me this machine had been gone thru... I know there's a sucker born every second...

 

you will def know if the gas went into the case, ur oil will be topped off with gas

 

Talked with the dealer and they said they would help me out. I brought it back to them this a.m. so hopefully I will know the problem in a few days. They didn't say they would pay for the entire repair but that we would work something out. The fact that they didn't just say too bad it's used and walk away from it makes me feel better about the situation. One week from my daughter's birthday when I can finally give it too her.....I'm excited.

 

Good that the dealer is working with you. Hopefully it's just something simple. I think you might just get a big hug from your daughter when she gets to ride it..

 

Well, just got the news that is was the needle and seat in the carb.. It filled the motor with gas and also ate away the air filter. the dealer is rebuilding carb, replacing the air filter, draining oil and filter, with no cost to me for parts and we will split the labor. To me more than fair considering is was a used purchase. kudos to Northway Sports in East Bethel, MN. You have a loyal customer...

 

Good deal! That's why I was freaked out worrying about gas in the oil. Sounds like they're taking care of the problem..
