Quick query Our quad was driving perfectly yesterday It ran out of petrol and now won't start Tried pull start and it won't pull either. Got starter checked out and it's ok Solenoid is clicking so it sounds ok Any ideas what might be wrong

Have you check to see if spark is occurring? While at the spark plug, see if fuel is making it there as intended.

Should the quad not try to start anyway by the start button without checking the spark plug ?

 

[Shayboy]

The engine is not turning to get a spark

You say it ran fine till it ran out of gas , that would make me think there was trash on the bottom of the tank and you sucked it into the carb , try draining the bottom of the bowl ------------ spray two seconds of starting fluid into the carb throat and see if it pops , if so there is spark and fuel is the most likely problem ----

Welcome to the forum.

Where are you located? Judging from "quad" and "petrol" I would guess not around here! LOL

Am I correct that you ran out of gas and now the engine will not turn over at all?

If it will not even pull over with the pull start (seized up) you have something going on inside the motor. If it just pulls over and doesn't start that's different.

Can you clarify what you mean by "It won't start"?

Quad and Petrol makes me think another UK member has arrived....?

Yep. Y'all drive on the wrong side of the road, have weird names for gas and four-wheeler, and spell "tire" wrong.

Could be an Aussie or another weirdo Canadian, right @mac102004?

No no... It’s all of you that combine two words into one ‘Y’all’, say tomato in a funny way and sit in the wrong side of the truck! :laugh: :laugh:

Uh hu hey yaw , or y'all , and tomato verses mater , lol , i think fish uses yaw ? Jeep they had me thinking i was spelling tire wrong haha! Color verses colour ..... My new neighbors get a kick out how southern people talk.

I have noticed that when I travel anywhere out of The South, people will look at me and then say "Say something else!" For whatever reason, people like hearing Southerners talk.

You get Southern women out of The South and men fall all over themselves over the accent.

I don't think I sound too "hick" until I hear myself, for example, on an answering machine. Good Lord I sound like a grit.

And then you got those Cajun's down in LA where Fish lives......no idea what they're saying.

We definitely have a diverse group here! LOL
