So I got this quad from a friend and it has never ran right since it was new, sometimes if I try real hard, I can have it run for about a day, but after i run it for 30 min, it just gets harder and harder to start, and it stops idling. I think the timing is off on it, because its blowing air out the carburetor and stuff, but I'm sure i fixed that because the cam sprocket was off a tooth from the timing mark, but I'm wondering, how do i check the ignition timing, and how do I make this thing run right.
heres a list of what its doing:
backfires every now and then
trys to run every 5 to 10 sec when i crank it
gas builds up on the back of the carburetor
It acts like its starving for gas
when i sometimes get it running:
it warms up really quick and starts to over heat after 5 min or so
it doesn't have much power
theres a clicking sound when i am driving and let off the gas
