Any ideas on what is wrong w/this quad.
Sundiro Ridgerunner 50cc, 2 cycle.
Has spark, getting fuel to the motor, has 65psi for compression.
I have even shot fuel into the cylinder and carb just to see if it would pop.
It does nothing but turn over.
Any ideas out there?

Try starting fluid and a new spark plug. Make sure the air filter isn't clogged. And make sure the exhaust isn't plugged, if there's a spark arrestor, it might need to be cleaned.

Good luck.

Isn't 65psi a bit low for compression?

I was not sure if the compression is low for this quad.
I have tried the starting fluid into the cylinder and carb w/out airfilter installed.

Those 6-packs work pretty good.

65psi is too low. You held the throttle open while testing?

I do not think that I had the thottle open when checking the preasure. Does it make a difference?

You're reading will be low if you don't.

I will test it again then. What should I be getting for PSI? I am not familiar w/2 cycle motors and their corks.

Over 100, I would think.
