    Dont know what to do

    Hello everybody. After have tested everething, my quad still very hard to start. I dont know what to do, and this issue really bother me.
    I put a 42 pilot jet, a 45 and a 48
    i moved the tps with math formula that appears on the manual.(5,18*0,17=0,88),
    i checked the valves and their were ok
    I changed the spark plug
    ....and i really dont know what more to do.
    The quad is very hard to start but when is running it doesn't have problems. The battery is new but its not easy to the electric engine to make it start.

    I love this quad, but this problem have me very angry. I will be very grateful is anyone could help me.

    Regards

    I was having this problem and then all of a sudden it stopped starting all together. after taking it to a local mechanic and getting an engine rebuild it ended up being the stator ignition pickup.

    ^^^ Wow .... Ever heard of a compression tester? lol jp .... It could be alot of things.... You need to check all of the essentials... i.e. are you getting air, fuel, and spark.... If you dont have the valves tight enough it wont hardly even turn over... I had that problem as well as a few other guys on here... Does it spin over as fast as it should? Have you tried jumping it? I was like .002 off on the valve clearance and that's all it took and it wouldn't even hardly turn over, even with the spark plug out... Have you done anything to it? That might help with discovering the problem....
