Hello y'all. Just picked up a little Chinese ATV off of Marketplace for 50 bucks. Just by being there when I scrolled past, it leapt off the screen and issued me a challenge to make it run

I've done this with pretty much any air-cooled engine there is, but never with a 4wheeler. THIS is going to be fun, I can already tell. From what I've been reading, these Chinese ones are the calico cats of the mechanical world, made up of whatever part they managed to secure a pallet of, mated to whatever other parts they sourced from other places. Kinda like Johnny Cash's car.

Oh well, I haven't said anything to the grandkids. If I get it running, they've got another fun toy when they come see us. If I don't, they won't miss it. Thanks in advance, from them, if I can make it run for 'em.

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

I think I just bought a calico cat just like you! Very similar story, trying to resurrect mine for my lad. All good fun eh!

 

Welcome.
