Got a 125 semi-auto 3-2-1-N-R, Reverse is fast and strong but when you put it in Forward it doesn't wanna start going(throtles high)..allmost have to push it to start it... Like its starting to roll in 2nd or 3rd gear.. Theres only one forward shift position and it drops into it. Gets to good top speed quick after its rolling.

And ideas???

 

Ps. It's a TaoTao ATV125 brand new. Anybody know what make/model this is a copy of? for repair manual.

 

Did you ever find a solution to this? i have the same problem with a brand new quad. I cannot find a solution by searching the forum.

 

Sorry for missing this Swampwood Did you ever figure this out? The 125's overall are geared to high...3rd gear is almost useless but Ive never heard of no power in 1st.

 

Welcome to the forum mrjeep49!

What brand/size of quad do you have?

 

Nope.. Have not fixed it yet, guessing the only thing to do is replace the whole engine/trany.

 

I believe it's only got one gear, haven't opened it up or sent it to shop yet.

 

There are a few kids quads Ive seen that are single speed...but mose of them are 110's...I was thinking maybe it goes into 2nd not first...but if its only got 1 forward gear. hmmm..

Let me think about this some more.
