Default 94 400l

Hi everyone,,, I just got a 94 400L 4x2 last week on trade.. i can't get it to run.. I checked the spark, compression, and it smells like it getting fuel... It'd got good spark and 125 PSI.. Does anyone one have any ideas????? It cranks good... Plus I have 2 hoses coming off of the carb and they are just hanging there, anyone know if that is right or should they be connected to something.. I just ordered my manual for this 4-wheeler, but i would like to get it runing this weekend if i could..

Take the carb off and clean the jets out.

Try a NEW plug and fill it up with FRESH gas.Always eliminate the easy stuff before panicing.

If it has a fuel filter on it then I would swap that out too. New ones are only a few bucks at the auto store. Who knows how old it is.

Does it try to fire at all? If you've got gas and spark the only other thing it needs is oxygen. Did you make sure there is no restriction in the intake or exhaust?

Yes it sparks.. I figured that it should start to run even if it had a little bit of fire.. the intake is goo but i haven't checked the exhaust yet..

I'll check that then get back to you....

thanks
