thats what it sounds like,,,,,,if the carbs didnt blow off

what did the plug look like upon removal????

sounds like fuel shortage (lean),,,,which can do damage

check your compression

Ya but before you check your compression deal with the carb first...take the jets out and hit them with some gunkout then take your air filter off and spray a little either (starting fluid) while your cranking it over..Sometimes it just takes a little extra to fire it up...Just don't spray to much starting fluid in it or you could burn something up...But try that first..I had a similar problem with my scrammy and that got her fired back up..

Im guessing it has something to do with your CDI, I bet a wire is loose and your not getting spark. I had that happen to me a while back and the ORANGE wire was loose. Pull your plug and check for spark.

I took it to my Dealer and they are going to fix it for me whatever is wrong, but I was talking to this guy that knows alot about quads and he says when you ride them alot in 5th gear pinned for long periods of times it messes them up. I do it alot and do it for a quater mile pretty much maybe even a mile at some times. Me and my buddy always race top speed and go for ever to see who pulls away. But what do you guys think about that

you could have smoked your piston & rings... thats why they were telling you to check your comp.
i dont see a stock quad doing that so soon though.

I am not sure what is wrong, Its got compression and it does roll over, it just wont start. it smells alot when i push the start button. it might be getting to much gas or something I'm not sure at all

Try unpluging the CDI then pluging it back up. I had a similar problem when I changed my CDI.
