I have a 2002 sp700 and it won't crank.It has been sitting up for about 3 months.I put new plugs and it is getting fire.I cleaned the carb and it is getting gas.I don't know what else it could be, if anyone has any suggestions it would be a great help.Thanks

 

Have you checked the compression?

 

I haven't checked with a gauge but i can hold my finger over the sparkplug hole and it wil blow my finger off.on both cylinders.

 

maybe check the carborater again, the choke could be messed up or somthing. what got it down in the first place. Where there any problombs befor or did the quad just sit there after parking it one day

 

The starter went out is the reason i parked it.It ran when i did park it.

 

try changing all the fluids. if you do get it started run it hhard and go for a long ride to blow the fumes and everything out of the engin

 

If you are getting spark, then squirt some gas into the spark plug holes put plugs back in an fire it up. If it catches then drain your gas tank an put fresh in. And try to get some gas stabilizer to run in it when you store it.

thanks kamots you just reminded me of somthing. Once i had a 1980 honda 70 mini trail. When i would let it sit for a while and then go to start it it wouldnt start. I had spark and everything. A guy told me just add some new gasolene to the old gasolene. That is what i did and sure enough it fired. So add some new gass to the old or drain the old gass and put new gass in. Who knows it just may work. It worked for me, i couldnt understand how, gas is gas but it worked. Give it a try.

 

Thanks for the replys.I will try that tomorrow, I am just know getting off work.

 

Any more ideas? I changed the gas it sounds like it wants to crank, but still no go.I drained the carb too.
