Once the fuel tank is installed check for any fuel leaks, and then once there is not any fuel leaks 

start  the ATV and warm the engine for five to ten minutes. You will still need to adjust the fuel 

screw and the idle screw for maxium performance as per the instructions earlier in this section.  

 

 

The spark plug will let you know if the mixture is running lean or rich by the color on the 

tip; the proper color for the tip of the plug is a beer bottle brown. If the engine is running lean the 

plug will be a white or light gray in color 

do not run the engine with it running lean severe 

engine damage may result 

, if it is running rich it will be black with carbon  and maybe wet 

with fuel. It is better to run the mixture on the richer side than the leaner side. A new plug will be 

needed each time the spark plug is found in any one of these conditions, and an adjustment is 

needed the only way to tell the condition is with a new plug each time, the plug will still be 

useable just not for good for this test.  

 

 

Throttle Cable Adjustment 

 

The next adjustment is to ensure 

that the throttle cable is pulling 

full throttle and to set free play in 

the thumb throttle lever. There is 

a turnbuckle assembly located 

under the front panel and under 

the front of the fuel tank; (see 

picture right) although this 

picture is taken with the fuel tank 

off this adjustment can be made 

with only the front panel 

removed. The thumb throttle 

should have 2-4mm of free play 

before it  tightens up and starts to 

pull the slide up. Then check the 

throttle limit screw and make sure it is not limiting full throttle. 

NOTE:

 If the child is young and 

inexperienced loosen the jamb nut and turn the screw all the way in (clock wise) to limit top 

speed until they are experienced and can handle the speed and can operate the ATV with total 

confidence; then back the screw out to the child's experience can handle the speed. Make sure 

once the screw is in the position you want and then tighten the jamb nut while holding the screw  

with a screw driver.
