98 Honda Fourtrax

Post by WG Taxidermist »

Like a dumbyI let it set for a while because the tires went bad and I didn't need it at the time. I thought I'd get on it the other day and try to get it going but couldn't get it to crank. Put a new battery, gas and spark plug on it but it still won't hit. Any ideas what to do next?

I haven't checked to see if it's getting fire yet but I will tomorrow. Yea I've got the fuel line on. I'm betting I'm going to have to pull the carb.

Well I finally got it going. I got it to hit on carb cleaner and just continued to spray it in until started running on its on. Runs good now.

Good deal. I have a pushmower that every year no matter if the tank is empty or not, I have to clean the jets.
