Default 300ex questions

I was riding my quad yesterday and it seems to be running very hot, at one point i went to climb a hill and the thing totally bogged out then i would start it try to get going and it just wouldn't it would die out go but it would idle fine and once i let it cool down it would ride fine until it go so hot again...could my fluids be low? is there anything i can check maybe oil levels or coolant? im a novice so i cant really diagnose anything myself but any help would be greatly appreciated

300ex's are air cooled so there is no coolant.


Is your choke on?

Hmmmm, usually I'd say the main jet is clogged, but if it runs fine while it is cool it has me confused.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]


How long will it run fine? Like just a minuter, 10 minutes?

Welcome to the forums, kush. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Have you checked the tank vent tube? Not familiar with the carb on that model, Moto, does it have vent tube on the carb as well?

And you can run the p*ss out of it right now when it's cold?

It has plenty of fuel and everything?


Does it smoke at all?

Yes I believe so, this is another good thing to check out. Make sure none of the tubes coming out of the carb or engine area are clogged.
