im neww and well im also havin a problem with my 1992 lt250 suzuki quad.. it was about 2 months ago when my bike just gently rolled to a stop and it was about 5mins after i fully throttled it in 5th gear because i jsut got the bike in july so i was testing it and then it just like basically quit.. and i've got a new spark plug and also cleaned the carb a few time.. i also checked the gas lines and their clean. the problem im havin is that the bike has a spark but theirs no gas getting to the spark plug to start the combustion soo.. does anyone have any clue whats wrong?

 

is this atv you are talking about a 250r quadracer??? Let me know, i just rebuilt one last year.

 

yeahh haha actually it iss

 

i would check your reeds.

 

may i ask what the reeds are?

 

Not to be mistaken as valves, but they fufil a similar purpose of letting in fuel but not letting it out while dispersing it for proper combustion. The stock ones are metal, you definitely want to replace, helped me a lot on mine after i finally figured out my crank seal was broken. Anyways you have to take the jug off to do that, there are six bolts, buy a manual, will be worth it if you work on it yourself. And taking the jug off you will need new head gasket. Total cost is about $60 if you do it yourself. Boysen makes the reeds.

 

Might i add, check your compression, you need a kit, basically plugs into where your cylinder does and you kick it over and let the pressure build. Keep kicking until it doesn't go up anymore and it should be at least 100 psi to run.

 

k thanks and i found out today that the fuel goes into the carb.. but doesn't get from the carb to the spark plug..so would that be the problem?

 

Well you need compression, spark, and fuel, so try and clean carburetor. Also look for a rebuild kit, they are like $20. And DO NOT let the gaskets soak in the carb cleaner, it is bad for them. When you are checking your carb make sure fuel gets to the bowl, than go from there. The bowl is the bottom part of the carb. Inevitably ou have to take it off and make sure you connect the airbox back to it before starting, it will run to lean otherwise. Good luck let me know how it goes.
