Thank you .... can you try to help me with one more thing, how do you check the timing? for some reason ppl keep saying to check that. The engine acts like it wants to turn over but will not...and when you pop start it, it will crank but acts like its not getting gas when if fact it seems to be getting to much. Thank you so very much for ALL your tips....Sharon

 

their's 2 way the timing can be off , flywheel loose and sheared off the wooduf key, almost never happens, or the cdi box ( which controls the timing) is bad but if you're getting a decent spark i wouldn't think that's it, i'd would take 5 minutes and at least take the valve caps off and rotate the engine and see if the valves are to tight, after trying to start the engine have you taken the plug out and looked at it, was it wet ? whats it look like? since you're cranking the engine over so much make sure you keep the battery on a charger

 

the spark plug isnt really WET...it is getting the gas to spark...and it is clean. Is there a way to check the CDI box to see if that could be the problem? Thanks...me again

 

no, except tp replace it, YOU NEED TO CHECK THE VALVES

 

ok...checkin the valves.....if they are tight...then what?? I am about to set a torch to this thing...lol.....Thanks

 

have you tried to start the atv without the aircleaner? if you haven't try it. it just might be a dirty airfilter,

 

we found out the problem... we have a bent intake valve...is that going to be a pain to fix?? Thanks for everything.

 

good, glad you found the problem, this is what i'd do, if i purchased it from a local dealer i'd take it back and pay for labor to fix it, the engine has a 6 month warrantee it should take about an hour of labor to fix , cost should be around $75-100 . if you purcased from raceway call them. if you purchased from e-bay , good luck, but it's worth a try,ask for a compele head assy and gaskets. if you purchased from a internet dealer call them they usally have a phone number listed, or you could call kazumausa, they are really good to deal with and they should warrant the engine, ask for a complete head and head gasket. the reason you're asking for a new head is because a bent valve could have cause damage to the valve guild, also it a lot easier to take the head off and just replace it.

 

Ma'am,
Good luck...you got a lemon and is poor quality. Good luck, if possible dump it, get a refund or 80% of your money back. Spend the money for a Honda TRX 90, they have low interest rates w/ low payments. Enjoy more riding and less of the Kazuma headache! Good luck and God Bless. SEADAWG

 

that a good ideal seapup,,go in debt for a kids atv, and of course you know the only way the valve got bent is because the engine was over rev, thats the only way it could've happen, who's falut is that the atv or the operator?
