I forgot something on the ad yesterday when i cleaned the carb i had a little gas i dumped a little in the carb and it started for a second i tried to do the same thing today with out the fuel line on it i dumped a little gas in the carb and it didnt even fire at all. So if someone can please help me out that will be really great thanks guys!

 

Sounds like the float my be stuck open.

 

I took the carb back apart and the float seems to be working properly

Sounds like a stuck needle valve or float, not letting fuel into the carb.
If the carb was really gummed up, it may need a complete cleaning and overhaul.

 

I bet the carb needs a deep cleaning and it will run.

 

Ok i took the carb back off and brought it in my house so i can see much better and i took every part out of it and seen if it was dirty and it looks good i took it and blew air through and put it back together i will check to see if anything happens tomorrow. But can i take a coffe can or something and put the carb in it and let it soak in carb cleaner or anything else? If so what is the best way to let it soak in something?

heres a pic of my carb for my 4 wheeler

 

Check the rubber boot the carb mounts on for cracks. If it has cracks in it the bike will suck air through it and not pick up fuel.

 

Agree, overhaul the carb.

If it has paper/fiber gaskets there's the possibility that they've shrunk -- if the carb was dry for a while. Dried out paper gaskets don't always swell back up to their original size, and thus can potentially not seal and cause vacuum issues, leaks, etc.

If it sat wet for a while there's a chance the needle(s)/jet(s) are pitted/corroded.

 

Ok ill check the ruber boot and let you know.

And also when you guys say overhaul the carb what do you mean by that? I never hurd some one tell me overhaul the carb so i dont know what that means.

 

ok i went out and put the carb on just to see what it will do and i turned the gas on and pulled it over and it started it i tried to let it idle but soon as i let off the throttle it will die so i tried to drive it around my yard i made it around my house like 3 times then i stopped and it dies. so im gunna push it back in the garage and check the rubber boot and that stuff. O when i went to start it i didnt have to put fuel in the carb it started on its own

 

You may just need to make some ajustments on the carb.

 

ok sorry about not getting back sooner but i took the carb over to my neighbors and he bent the float arm or whatever its called to get more gas or somthing its what the needle valve holds on to but he bent that a little and it ran great i was riding it the whole day but i still have a problem i still need to put gas in the carb just to start it everytime what would cause that do i need to bend it more or what should i do i checked the boot also and its good theres no cracks or anything in it its just when i start it everytime i have to put fuel in the carb.

 

Check the compression.

 

ok im gunna have to borrow a compression tester but how much compression does these 4 wheelers should have?

 

First, I'm not a carb guy by any means, but reading that you need to
put gas in the carb to start. There could be some adjusting needed with
the choke. Next, maybe the fuel lines themselves need changed or
cleaned along with a new fuel filter.

Since your getting it to run for awhile, maybe spray some carb cleaner in
it with throttling it up a few times while it's running. May have to take
the boot off that goes between the air box & carb to do this. Of course
then there's the air filter also, did you put a new one on?

There's adding the trusty Seafoam or Startron in the fuel tank also.

 

Welcome, sounds like the needle valve is stuck open, do a complete tear down of the carb or take it to someone that can and your problem will be solved.

 

ok how do i adjust the choke? And ill replace the fuel lines even if there good who knows its been sitting for like 2 years but ill reaplace the fuel lines and the fuel filter. And no i did not change the air filter but ill probley get another one of those also and ill take the carb off and take it to someone that knows about carbs like Diesel man 03 said and maybe they can figure it out but ill let ya know what i find out thanks guys!

 

I have had luck with Seafoam on two wheels. Just an idea... good luck. I would say agree with the float or needle.

 

Ok can someone explain to me what is seafoam? I have never heard of that stuff before and how do you use it and where to get it and how much does it cost? Thanks

 

Seafoam is truely incredible stuff. You can use it to clean out your fuel system. Check out their website... Sea Foam | Home

You should be able to get it at most parts stores and/or powersports dealerships. I think the last can I bought was like $8 or so.
