I have a kamuza dingo 150. Runs great except whenever i trailer it, it takes about 15 minutes to get it started again once i stop.

Any ideas?

 

Is it snorkeled? Iv had the same problem with several different snorkaled 4wheelers. Not sure what really pressures up, weather its the carb or cylinder but just put some tape over the intake tube. Weather its snorkaled or not. Just dont forget to take it off when you go to start it.

 

I've had this problem too on my GY6 150cc quad. It happens when I forget to turn off the fuel to the carburetor. It floods - I'm not sure why. The float bouncing around perhaps and letting more and more fuel in? I can start it up fairly quickly by cranking with wide open throttle until it starts (maybe 20 seconds).

Of course it is much easier to just make sure to turn off the fuel before transport.

See if this matches your problem...

 

How do i turn off the fuel? Im guessing something with petcock but not sure.

 

Should be one underneath the fuel tank.

 

if your quad did not have a factory petcock installed, go buy an aftermarket one at O'Reilly's, AZ, or any parts store you use and spud that sucker in between your feed hoses. it ain't hard. remember, if it is chugging gasoline into the crankcase while trailering it and no petcock valve to isolate the tank from the carb and it's a 4 stroke, change the oil before you wash out your bearings or get an explosive mixture that'll launch you off the quad and burn down. 2 strokes are built for that, not 4 strokes.

 

I agree with Jaster94. Add a fuel petcock valve if you don't have one, and be religious about turning it off when you store the quad. My neighbor once pushed his quad into the garage after a long ride (he didn't have a petcock valve) and went to bed. The float needle valve leaked that night, and about 1.5 gallons of fuel spilled out onto the garage floor via the carburetor overflow hose. This was about four feet from the burner on his natural gas powered water heater. Luckily the water heater was mounted on a platform up 18 inches above the garage floor.

Nothing bad hapened this time, but it still gives me the ******* everytime I think about it.

One more thing: Don't be tempted to plumb in a small water shutoff valve from the local hardware store. The neoprene gaskets inside will swell up and disintegrate after about three weeks of use (I wonder how I know this? ). Make sure your petcock shutoff valve is made/rated for gasoline.

 

Something like this will work. I got this one at Dennis Kirk, but most cycle shops should have something similar.
