Sure some of you have to be a little mechanically inclined.... So.... Havin a problem with the quad and think I know the answer but need some second opinions before I start diggin and spend a bunch of money/time...
Battery is dead (pretty much shot) to the point that when running the lights or nothing works... Spark is small/weak when jumped and running the starter and it won't start even with ether.....
It will start with no jumper battery with the rope (with ether) and can run it all over with throttle but it won't idle. Have to give a little throttle and ether even when warm and it starts right up, just won't idle.....Can harrow the pasture and joy ride after it starts...
I'm thinking (hoping) that battery is just sucking any life out of the spark and not letting it start/idle without help. New battery is expensive for this thing and would be a waste if not the problem.
Can't think of it being anything else tho... Any thoughts/tips appreciated....
