7 years after you posted these King Quad videos they are still helping people! I have a low mileage one in great condition that I run only a half an hour or so a year. Last 10 years or so l use it only for blading snow on the driveway. This year I didn't need to use it but did start it a couple of times. Always siphon the old fuel out and replace it with new fuel and stabilizer twice a year. Today it would not run. Started right up and idled ok for a couple minutes and quit. No go. Pulled off the easiest hose to get at on the carburetor, think it's a vent, and primed the carb through that port and it would run until that added fuel was used up. Did this many times hoping a blockage would clear itself but would omly run until the fuel I primed it with was used up. Clearly have a fuel starvation issue somewhere. Thank you for posting these videos. I now have a really clear idea of the fuel circuit to start doing some troubleshooting.
Thanks for the comment and I’m glad you found the videos helpful! Good luck getting your machine going again, hopefully it’s a simple fix and if I can help somehow just let me know 👍🏻
Good little project bike. I have one in about the same condition maybe a little worse. I'll keep watching it will help me with mine. Thanks for the video
Thanks, im liking it so far. Its in decent shape, just doesn't look like it with all the plastic and things off of it. I had a quadrunner 250 which is almost identical that I went through and rebuilt the engine on. I sold it a few years ago though. Thanks for watching!
Got one of them ebay carbs for it and the old one just seemed 2 far gone but it idles high even when with the new one same situation thinking its a vacuum leak some where but I can't find it but it also won't pump gas even if it's running now it does have an extra vent like but I wouldn't think that would effect it not running and not being able too run or idle which I'm pretty sure then lines are ran right but I'm not sure on that first time messing with these bikes
If i remember correctly those aftermarket carbs have two rear vents, and one vent on the front(engine side) of the carb. the one on the front is for a vacuum petcock or fuel pump. If it is left open, it will act as a big vacuum leak. Maybe its possible you have the fuel pump vacuum line on the wrong port which would explain it not pumping gas and also possibly why it has a vacuum leak. Did you try adjusting down the idle? Good luck and let me know if i can help
You sure know your business when it comes to the King Quad. I'm having issues with mine right now. Not sure if it's electrical or fuel related or both. Mind if I ask you a few questions? Let me know? Thanks!
Replaced fuel pump..quad quit on trail..pumped throttle n would start n run for 5 mins and die...cleaned carb..checked fuel pump..its right..vacuum lines are right..Getting fuel from prim position but not from on position on peck...got spark..compression etc..wtf?..lol
where is that fuel pump located ?? thinking have the same problem as you No fuel in fuel lines just had the tap serviced cheers mike thansk for your help & info good skills
Mike Winter Thanks! The fuel pump is located back behind the left front wheel tucked under the fender plastic If I remember right. Just make sure if the petcock is working correctly that the fuel pump is getting vacuum. Those lines can get dry rotted.
Gordon Clegg Unfortunately I got it all the way together, and got busy and sold it before I had a chance to make a completed video. You may try to google pictures of that because I don't remember now what all was hooked up where. There is no fuel return line though, just a fuel drain and overflow I think. There are a couple vacuum lines and a vent line or 2 that connect to the carb

So what was wrong? I have problms
@@safffff1000The spring in the needle valve collapsed. Cleaned the carb (was quite clean) installed a new needle valve and it now runs like new.
@@ronsereda4242 Thanks. Is that the float needle of the idle adjust needle?
@@safffff1000 just the float needle. The tiny spring is internal to the needle. A new float needle came with the kit

i have 5 of these future reff to take the tank out remove everything from the base of the engine off. tank comes out the bottom
I got the same problem my dad say I need a new fuel pump
i have one of these and a lot of lines were not hooked up to the carb. can you make a quick viedo just showing what line goes to where from the carb?
Gordon Clegg I think there is supposed to be a fuel return line somewhere and its not hooked up
