She purrs like a kitten (a loud kitten lol) Thank you for all your help. Thanks to you she runs great. Only problem is when you floor it it wants to stall so I think I need to adjust that fuel screw. I have it 2 and 1/2 out

Its weird Ok it has 1st gear all the way up the Neutral the 2nd 3rd and 4th but the if you go one more down it rattles and sounds real bad like there is suppose to be a 5th but the gear is gone. I think it only goes to 4th unless its just a low gear neutral 2nd 3rd and 4th is gone.

mine was a 4 speed with a Low gear, if u pulled up from neutral you would be in low, to shift up you actually pushed down on the shifter from neutral lol, so its 4 gears down, then i had a reverse next to the pull start i think also, but it was pretty weird having a backwards style shifting but i thought it was cool.

I kinda figured it was a low gear with 4 down I like the shifting too. I found the whole shifting from low and trying to go to the next gear dosnt work lol you end up in neutral lol. I think 4th gear is shot because when you hit 4th gear it rattles bad and wont go anywere just like if you were in neutral.

I really like some of the quadzilla's and quadracer plastics but I dont want to spend the money and find out there is no way to make it work. Thank you
I surprisingly found these plastics today online,new.They are rather expensive though.About $260.00 for just the front and another $260.00 for the rear.If interested the web addy is..www.babbittsonline.com...Just look up your model.They have a ton of new parts for that quad.I just got the same one yesterday.Not bad but mine is very hard to shift.I have to figure it out.

I just found plastics for this quad today.They are new but expensive.$260.00 each front and rear.They are online at www.babbittsonline.com They have a ton of parts for that quad.I just got one myself yesterday.I like the quad but mine is very hard to shift.You have to stomp the gears.I have to figure it out.Hopefully I can get the gearing sorted on mine.Good luck with yours

Thank you for the link. How is yours hard to shift? Does it go through the gears?
