hey all i am new here and having a couple issues with my kingquad

when i turn the quad on from cold it runs rough if not stalls altogether unless i am revving it and also misfires while ridding it cold and also revs high then after a while comes down again. to top it all off it backfires when you turn the key off

any help to this issue will be much appreciated

 

Welcome to the forums.
I'd clean the carb and check the valve lash tolerance.

Do you happen to know a guy, Al Greaney?

 

hey cheers for that will give carb a clean after Christmas

no sorry i do not know him


so i took the spark plug out today. it had a white tip this is a sign of running lean right? could this have something to do with the issues?

 

Yes. It sounds like a plugged jet.
Remove both jets and make sure the holes are open.

 

cheers for that will give it a good clean out and let you know how i get on
