I have an 87 250r that has a new top end and reeds. Im getting spark and gas but it will not fire. Im not sure if the powervalve will affect it starting since ive never had a quad with one. I adjusted it to 1 turn counter clockwise. Just looking for some ideas before my leg falls off.

 

find a big *** hill, or somebody with another quad and a rope, and pullstart away. play with your throttle and choke and hope for the best. if still nothing, rebuild the carb.

 

The powervalve shouldn't be the issue as it only raises w/the rpm's.

 

Im gonna try pullstarting this weekend and see what happens. If that doesnt work the carb is gettin rebuilt. Thanks for the help.

 

Did u check ur coil and stator?

 

I Had an 88 for 15 years than i bought a banshee a couple years ago. i had the same problem ur talking bout and my stator or coil i cant remeber wich one. but the spark was to weak to fire tit.

 

The spark looks good. Doesnt look weak.

 

hows the compression? it should be at least 120 psi
