Alright I got the whole thing back together, charged the battery, and somehow the things starts right up no problem. I even shut if off and started it again a good 10 times in a row and the thing had no problem. I am so happy.

Alright so here's an update. I took apart all of the electronics. Replaced all of the electrical taped connections and cleaned them up nicely. The only thing I noticed is that my relays are kind of fishy. One of my relays ( the one closest to the back that is next to another relay) has one wire...

Well the fuse wasn't blown I just replaced it in order to rule that out so I don't think that's the problem but basically I charge my battery with a charger and it'll allow me to gap to solenoid to start it and then I'll ride it around and when I shut it off and go to start it again, the battery...

Yeah I'm good at working on stuff. I should probably set aside a good couple of hours just in case. I hate not finishing projects. Could a short also explain why my battery always dies after being charged? The starter switch assembly is the one I bought from you. I don't wanna take it apart...

Damn, that sounds like a real PITA. Estimation on how long that would take me?

Replaced the fuse and checked the grounds and they're clean.

I have been jumping to solenoid to start it since I bought it so I know for a fact that it works doing it that way. Plus the solenoid and battery are brand new.

When I press the start button my quad doesn't even attempt to start. No solenoid click or anything. No noise at all. I hear a click when I flip the key. My headlights work fine. My neutral indicator light also won't illuminate. The electronics on this thing have been messed up from day one and...

I had it at WOT in all gears just to test that theory and it runs like a bat out of hell, it's only in 5th gear. I'll try to adjust the float a tiny bit and see if that helps.

that's another thing i was thinking but would that happen in only 5th gear? i don't know if it makes a difference or not but i also have a +2 front sprocket.

Alright well the good news is that I fixed the leak... kind of. So what I did was readjusted the float until it didn't leak gas anymore and started the quad really easily. That is all set now and I am more than happy. Problem is, I am having yet another problem. This time, I don't even know...

alright guys so here's the scoop. i adjusted the float bowl back to factory specs which was a very very tiny adjustment. i reassembled everything and turned the gas on. to my surprise, there was no leak. i was really happy and started the quad. i rode it down the road and back a few times and it...

alright man, thanks a lot. i'm going to go try that now.

alright so i'm just assuming that everything that is supposed to be in my carb is in it. the only think left is the float level, which you seem pretty confident in the fact that it may be causing my problem. just double checking, but you want me to adjust it a little bit, reinstall everything...

my friend said that there is supposed to be a tiny need in the middle of that spring. that is what the picture is supposed to be of, the accelerator pump. is there supposed to be a needle inside it?
