I have an '05 kazuma meerkat 50cc. A few weeks ago my son was riding it when it stopped running. We have not been able to get it to turn over since. The starter will work, but it won't turn over. It has approx 30psi compression. I don't know if that is adequate. It has spark and it is gapped properly. I have not replaced the plug yet. I replaced the carb with a brand new one & still have the same problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sean

 

30 psi will not be adequate for compression. Some possibilities are an improper valve adjustment, valves not seating, bad head gasket, or the need for a top end rebuild. Since setting the valves don't cost you anything, it may be the best place to start.

There are several very informative posts on the site about setting valves, but if you need more assistance let us know.

 

Thanks for the help, I will try that.

 

Two Words. Broken lifter.
Thanks for the help though

 

Do either of you have the service manual for this quad? I have the exact problem and don't want to take the engine apart until I have this manual.

If so please email me at smccreary35@gmail.com

 

I need that manual too if anyone has it.

Sure could use a Kazuma Meerkat 50cc service/shop manual if anyone has one, or detailed instructions on setting the valves. Please! floridiandnow@gmail.com

 

I also need it
