Stu Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Good score! If you ever find a spare starter clutch let me know, im after one for the 250 as the starter spins for an ages before kicking in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 The starter on mine is just a cog on the end of the motor . Have you removed the starter to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yeah I've pulled that out and the starter works fine. I believe that the cog that the starter engages onto has its own clutch and its very slow to throw out to engage. So when I hit the starter it free spins for ages then slowly slows down as the starter clutch engages and then eventually the engine turns over. I'll find a diagram. Its a bitch to get to as the side cover of the gearbox needs to come off to get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVMPAJ Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Well I had a plan of stripping down quad 3 and 4 , but first job was installing a pump on my other new project a spa pool. Note to self when doing a spa pool . Replace o rings !!! Pump is great , controller works , but unions leak . Then I put my back out and so quad work is out . Oh well next weekend I'll have o rings and new filter for the spa to do , and might get started on Quad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Well removed the muffler from Quad 3 . .perfect condition . Topped up the flat battery with some acid and charged it up . Surprise its got 12 volts ! So started quad 2 up and went for a quick run .. Fantastic, just have to get the front brake working better . Then I'll get plastics from 2 , 3 and 4 fixed up might paint them matt black . . All and all a productive day . on the spa front I replaced the o rings and yay no leaks . Just have to fix the cover up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Quad 2 has got starting /flooding issues ....so much so that fuel leaks out the exhaust !! . So I've ordered a carb rebuild kit off Ali express to try out . In the meantime the spa pool went great until I noticed the manifold for the jets started leaking ....so I'll get a new one and install a timer so it's not running in the middle of the night , then will able to have some luxury soon.

NVMPAJ Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 While waiting for the carb rebuild kit to come . I thought I'll strip the carb down . Wouldn't you know it , the adjustable mixture screw was seized ....It wouldn't budge , so I had no choice but to drill it out !! Luckily there is a spring , so when I drilled down to the spring I could extract the offending pieces . l had s spare from and earlier put the carb back together . Reinstalled and had a go at starting ....away it went haha . Still along way to go but great outcome . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Well still waiting for the rebuild kit. Had a go today at starting the bugger , only to find the sparkplug was no go ! Robbed the one from Quad 1 to try .....fired first turn ....blood thing , my dad always said you only need fuel and spark boy and you're away . I hope he's not looking down at me laughing . So quad 3 had a good plug so put that in and yay . Tomorrow if she runs good I'll start putting the plastics on .Still need to fix a rear puncture and find some decent tyres for the other wheels . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 All go on the spa .....nothing till today on the quad. Bought a new gel battery on trademe .....gotta love Afterpay!! . Have been rather too busy to tinker on the quads . But the spa is great ! Next job on quad two is to get the brakes finished , l managed to remove the too tight hub nuts on Quad 3 , thanks to a new impact driver . Advice to budding quad wreckers/ builders ....buy an impact tool . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
