Ok here is what i have

6 pin cdi....
orange, yellow, blk / red, green/wht, blue/wht out of stator cover....

Should that carb i bought be the correct one? After looking at the carb on the ATV looks like it was fooled around with a bunch of red gasket goo around the bowl. I figured a new carb was a good move?

Thx for the help

 

So you have spark and it fires up with briefly with a bit of starter fluid. Am I right?

If so sounds like fuel issues to me. So a new carburetor seems like a logical starting place.

 

Yes that is correct. Seems to have gas coming out of the air intake when trying to start. not getting into the piston for some reason. It is getting to the bowl too....

 

Have you tried cleaning the carb you have?

 

Yes i did, but am going to give it another one today.

 

You will need to see light thru the pilot jet and the main jet.. and thru the little holes in the side of the main jet holder.. after cleaning Id set the fuel screw at 2 1/2 turns out and see if it starts..

 

Everything needs to be removed from the carb for the cleaning.. pilot jet, main jet and holder, needle, fuel screw... carb cleaner needs to be sprayed thru all the holes you can see in the carb.. especially the little ones..

 

I will try that. any special settings for any other screws i remove? Or just the fuel 2.5 out? and tighten the rest?

 

The only other screw that needs to be adjusted is the idle screw.. can be adjusted once its running.. maybe turned up 1/2 a turn as you try to start it..

Id also move the clip on the needle to the bottom groove.. (the groove closest to the point)

 

well i put the new carb on ..... got it started. then it stalled.... looks like fuel is coming out of where the air intake is... i am at a loss. I did put clip on the bottom groove.. it is like it is flooded...Any ideas?
