Default 2006 KFX 80 Quad Help fuel in cynlinder and Maint ?

I went to take quad out for the kids and it wont start My Cylinder was full of fuel I am going to order a new Petcock for it. Do you think that is the problem?

Where Are the restrictor plates located and how do you know if they are instaled or not?

What do you do for maint on it is there Any oil in the motor?

Fuel can fill the cylinder if the carb float needle valve is not shutting off the flow. Check/clean/replace the float needle valve and seating area.

Restrictor (washer) is sandwiched in the exhaut pipe joining area.

2 stroke engine doesn't have oil in the crankcase. You use pre-mixed fuel if there is no oil injection pump.

Get a factory service manual for proper maintenance and repair.

I took the fuel line off and the Petcock was dripping fuel in the on and res position, in Pri it was full flow. I got a shut off valve and different fuel line intill I can get a factory Petcock, I am not sure where the best place to get them is so far I see it is about $60..

The quad takes oil in the lower end It says it takes 80 ML stamped on side of case, I drained it and there was water mixed in with it I drained it and flushed it and used a little oil gun to squirt in the top about 80 ML I did it til it came out the weep hole screw on the side.

get a petcock for a banchee, or just run the shut off valve "cheaper and reliable"

the oil you see thats marked 80ml, is the trans oil, no oil in the crankcase, its two stroke, but flush out your trans box with fresh oil, run it, warm it up, then drain and refill to get the water out of it

I put Lucas ( Happen to have a quart )semi Syn 4 stroke motorcycle oil in the trans 10W40 ( I run amsoil in all my Motorcycles and Other toys and Mobil 1 in my other vehicles ) Is that what I want to use?

I wonder how the water got in?

I put a Petcock / Shut off valve from Napa on it for now, Does the banshee one use teh same size fuel line as stock? I got 1/4 in hoes from napa but it is real loose on the carb and stock petcock it fits the new shut off valve fine. ( Stock hose is fine just didn't fit the shut off valve well).
