hows it going, my name is Brad and i recently bought a quadsport for 200 dollars i knew there was problems with it when i bought it but my dad and i are stumped at what the problems with it could be having owned multiple 4 wheelers

it burns oil and i knew that when i bought it, pure white smoke screen when i go down the trail its quite fun to smoke people out but its really starting to get on my nerves, my dad thinks it could be the rings but i have yet to tear it apart and see i want a second opinion before i waste my time doing it

it doesent idle at all, i have to keep on the gas when i start it up (if it even will start up its a pain to start) it almost seems like that the carb is clogged or something, the guy that owned it before me put some shitty supertrapp pipe on it and i think it also might have something to do with it im about to take the torch to it and cut the stupid thing off cause he welded right to the header pipe and run a straight pipe cause ive had no luck on trying to find a stock pipe for it.....the spark plugs come out nasty and carboned up like hell, doesent even idle with the choke on it

when i do get to ride it it sounds like its almost backfireing and like its bogging down but it feels like it should be putting out more power than it should dont get me wrong when i get up to the 4th or 5th gear it runs perfectly when i keep on the gas, its fun to ride but id like it to be able to atleast idle cause it sucks when i have to stop and keep reving it

any replys/advice would be greatly appreciated thank you

 

First thing, running a straight pipe is bad news, don't do it. Supertrapp actually makes a good system, but you need to sort out the other issues you are having. i would check valve clearance as it sounds like this type of maintenance hasn't been done in a while and may help with the hard starting. It also sounds like your jetting may be off. The problem is, burning oil like that is throwing a wrench into the mix. It is probably throwing the jetting out of whack and is certainly contributing to the spark plug looking like that. It really is time to crack her open and find out if you have bead rings, valves, or what not.

 

yep thats what it was, the rings in it are very poorly worn. and i know about the straight pipe i really dont like the supertrapp systems, and my jets are clogged on it i swear that carb is like a mystery box
