Hello

I have a 2 stroke SMC quad that only runs on brake cleaner. When i spray brake cleaner into the carb it will fire right up but when the break cleaner runs out the engine immediately stalls. Obviously this sounds like a fuel problem. But i have cleaned the carb 10 times and even tried a different carb and had exactly the same thing. I have also tried new fuel from a separate clean tank i had laying around. The spark from the bogie also seems ok.

Hope someone can help

Greetings Sieuwe

 

Getting fuel to the carb(that's been cleaned and then swapped out with another one) has good spark from the "bogie" what ever that may be.. Sounds like you're down to a compression test.If it's at least 95-100 psi it should be able to start and run.Anything lower may be the problem.Just comparing compression to a Polaris 50 2 stroke,the minimum compression shows 115 psi per the manual.Plus leaking crank seals can be another problem also that many people overlook.

 

That bogie thing had me confused too. Once upon a time snowmobiles had bogie wheels, but I have no idea what part of an ATV would be a bogie, and why it would have a spark or not.
