Thanks for the input aaronrkelly and xcitmt. My street bike is shaft drive and the previous one was a belt drive no chains. The first time my boy rode the quad it ran great. The longer he rode it the more throttle he needed to give it to get it going (centrifugal clutch). My first thought was this is a cheep piece of junk and I just wasted 500 bucks. Then it dawned on me, while I was putting the thing together I remember the chain was dry as a bone. Like I said in the “Introduce Yourself” section of this forum I always look for a good internet forum for my new toys and this one seemed to be the best. So I posted this thread and got to meet you good people.
I’ve read a lot of posts on here and there is a ton of good information here. Hopefully as I become more experienced with quads I’ll be able to give back some of what I get out of this forum. For right now I’m just a neubee learning.
By the way after my boy had been riding for about four hours Saturday the quad wouldn’t idle. So I started reading here about carbs. Sunday morning I pulled the carb, cleaned and adjusted it and ran all day Sunday with no problems. Thanks again to the great people on here for their experience.
