ATV Not Getting Fuel, Common Reasons And How To Fix – AtvHelper

If your ATV engine is not getting enough fuel, it won’t run properly. You’ll notice it bogging down and just not having the power it used too. If you’re not getting fuel to the engine at all, it won’t even start for you.

The most common reason an ATV engine is not getting fuel usually has to do with the carburetor. Either a stuck needle valve or a loose or cracked vacuum hose are the most common issues. Don’t worry, there are pretty straight forward things you can do to check where your problem is.

There are a few different reasons you may not be getting fuel to your engine. It’s not that hard to check the parts to see if their working properly. I recommend going step by step checking one thing at a time, eliminating possible issues as you go.

If you have a fuel injected engine, you can skip this next part and jump straight to the fuel injectors, fuel pump, and compression check sections.

Check The Carburetor

I would first check the carburetor to help narrow down where you should start your investigation. All you need to do is spray a little carb cleaner or ether down the carb and see if your engine will fire up with that. Or you could pour a little gas in the carb and try to start it up.

If it does start, and then dies right away, at least we know now it’s a problem getting fuel to the carb. We know that now because, when the carb has fuel, the engine will run. You should check to make sure fuel is getting to the carb now.

If it still doesn’t start at all, you may have a problem getting fuel from the carb to the engine. That is telling us the problem is further down the line. It could be an issue with compression if that’s the case.The engine doesn’t have enough compression to pull in the fuel it needs and stay running. I will go over how to do a compression check later in this article.

Another check to do with the carburetor is to adjust the idle mixture screw. I know it sounds too good to be true, but a lot of times this adjustment isn’t set right so the engine isn’t getting the right air/fuel mixture to run properly.

Is The Carb Getting Fuel?

Ok, you sprayed something into the carb and the engine started up for a few seconds. Great, now we need to make sure the carb is getting the fuel it needs for the engine to run. Disconnect the fuel line going into the carb and put that end into a bucket or something to catch the fuel.

You may need to take out any spark plug, or just unplug them, just in case. And try to start the engine and look to see if fuel is coming out of that fuel line. If there is, then you have no problems getting fuel from the gas tank and it is probably a needle valve or float problem.

If there’s no fuel coming from the tank down that fuel line, then you’re problem may be an issue with the fuel pump, if you have one, or an obstruction in the fuel line or shut off valve. I will go over how to diagnose the fuel pump later in this article.

Needle Valve And Float

If the needle valve in your carb is corroded, it will not allow fuel to flow to the engine properly. Same thing will happen if your float is getting stuck. You’re going to need to clean the carburetor and possibly replace those parts if they’ve gone bad.

First remove the float bowl to gain access to the carburetor insides. Then you can remove the pin holding the float in place. Before you do that, you can try moving the float up and down with your hands, the float should move freely and have no resistance feeling when moving it.

The needle valve will be attached to the under side of the float, here is a picture of what you’re looking for. You can try cleaning the needle valve using carb cleaner. Just soak the thing and let it sit in carb cleaner for a few hours.

If that didn’t help, or you just don’t want to do it, no big deal. Needle valve are pretty cheap online. Here’s an example of a Carburetor Float Valve Needle on Amazon to give you an idea of what you’re looking for.

You can also replace the float if you want to, usually you don’t have to but i would give it a good cleaning. Double check all the seals and everything since you’ve got the carb open, and clean out everything really good.

Remove Needle Valve Seal

Check the bowl gasket, if this was bad, you would have noticed the carb leaking fuel before. To check and replace the valve seal, you’ll need a pick or something to pull it from the carburetor. I’ve used a sheet rock screw before. Just thread the screw in a little and pull out the seal.

Check out the picture for an idea of what you’re looking at. Once you’ve removed the old seal, insert the new one and make sure it’s seated all the way.

You can do that with a metal punch or something, just make sure you don’t hit too hard because you could break the aluminum frame of the carb. Reassemble with new needle valve and you should be good to go.

Check Fuel Injectors

Fuel injectors can get gummed up after a while if they aren’t cleaned regularly. The end of the fuel injector has small holes in it that the fuel passes through, creating a spray that enters the cylinder. If those holes get gummed up, the spray will be off, and you’re engine won’t run.

If you think it could be a problem with your fuel injector, I’d recommend trying to clean them first before buying new ones because they can be pretty expensive. First, you’ll have to remove the fuel lines that hook to the fuel injectors.

You could always remove the fuel injectors completely and let them soak in some fuel injector cleaner. I use this B-12 Chemtool Thru-Rail Fuel Injector Cleaner but you can use any carb cleaner / fuel injector cleaner you want to.

If you don’t want to remove the fuel injectors completely you can try another method. You will still need to remove the fuel lines and let all the gas drain out of them. You will then fill the fuel line with fuel injector cleaner, and then reconnect the fuel lines.

Try starting the engine for at least 20 seconds. If it does start, don’t let it run for longer than 20 seconds. Then you want to sit and wait about 10 minutes or so. You need to give the fuel injector cleaner time to do its work. Repeat the process five more times, but only try to start for 10 seconds, and then let sit for ten minutes.

I know it’s not the official way to clean the injectors, but I’ve seen it work, and it can save you from all the work of removing the injectors. Once you get the quad running, you’re going to want to add a fuel additive to your gas to keep the injectors clean.

You should be doing this at least once a year anyway. I do it with my maintenance checks before spring begins every year. I usually just add some of this Gumout Complete Fuel System Cleaner to the gas tank before I start it up for the season.

Is The Fuel Pump Working?

I would say to try blowing air through the fuel pump to make sure fuel will be able to flow freely through it. But if you have a vacuum operated pump, you won’t be able to do that. There are diaphragms in there that could get damaged.

To make sure you’re vacuum operated fuel pump is working correctly, pull the vacuum line to the fuel pump off and crank the engine. You should feel a good amount of suction at the mouth of the carb.

The engine crates a vacuum pulse to the fuel pump, which in turn creates an amount of pressure that pushes fuel into the carburetor. If you’re not getting good suction, try replacing the diaphragms in your fuel pump and make sure your vacuum lines aren’t cracked.

If you can, try cleaning the fuel line out and replacing the fuel filter to make sure you’re getting fuel to the carburetor. Inspect the fuel pump for wear and loose or cracked hoses. If there is no vacuum in the hose, you’re carb won’t get any fuel. This is most likely caused by a crack in the vacuum fuel lines or a bad fuel pump.

You may find it easier to just replace the fuel pump all together since they aren’t usually very expensive.

Compression Check

The compression check is pretty straight forward, you’re trying to see if you’re engine can handle the right compression to run properly. Without compression, you won’t get fuel and your ATV won’t start.

The steps are pretty simple if you have a compression tester kit. Basically, you remove the spark plug, hook up the compression tester and run the test. You just have to make sure your engine is at the down stroke in the compression cycle.

I go over this process in a lot more detail and explain step by step how to perform this test in my article, Top 7 Reasons An ATV Smells Like Burning Oil. If you weren’t getting good compression, but enough that the quad still ran, you would leak oil into the cylinder. Go to that article and scroll down to the leak down test section for a step by step guide on checking for compression.

                        Honda Super Cub Knowledge Base C50, C70, C90, AA01, HA02 up to 2011

                        Here are official instructions, community experience and personal recommendations. The page contains the most popular spare parts articles from catalogs, well-known analogues are added to them, and links to stores where you can buy spare parts are provided. If in doubt about what has been written, refer to the primary sources in Japanese and English posted here: catalogs and instructions.

                        This material is about maintenance and use. If you want to get acquainted with the model, figure out which ones are and how they will improve your life - look at the material on the existing versions of Kaba, how to choose them and where to buy.

                        The most numerous version of Kaba 50cc, produced in this form from 1982 to 2011

                        This knowledge base covers Kaba, which were produced up to and including 2011 and are the most popular in Russia. Frame numbers: C50, C70, C90, AA01, HA02, injector and carburettor. Separately, there is a knowledge base AA04, JA10 since 2012.

                        How to find out the year of manufacture

                        In order to find out the year of manufacture, you need to find the frame number or a sticker under the seat. Then use two basic materials to determine the year of manufacture: by the frame number and by the sticker under the seat.

                        From left to right: frame number under the left plastic cover, engine number under the left engine cover, sticker under the seat86 and 1991. Let's use the sticker under the seat and the second material, and it will be clear there that the C90-H is a 1987 release. This is the most reliable data about the year, after which you can look at other marks, if only out of interest: engraving the date under the remote control, on disks and very rarely on the date on rubber.

                        How to use a semi-automatic

                        Not everyone immediately starts using a semi-automatic as if they had been driving it all their lives. It seems that the gear changes are harsh, with the rider swaying. Everything becomes smoother in the process - knurling affects the feel of the box. First, adjust the clutch to eliminate bad feelings from incorrect adjustment - video instruction at the end of the section.

                        Shift gears: press firmly down, release smoothly. When switching up 1 → 2 → 3, the gas must be released and switched. When switching down 3 → 2 → 1 - you can give gas or just switch at speeds of 15-20 km / h from third to second, up to 10 km / h from second to first. Right away it may not fit, but over time it will work out.

                        The box has blocking from accidental shifting of gear from third to neutral, so that at 60 km / h you do not turn on the first. Works in motion, allows you to switch only after a complete stop. There is no such protection on the mailer, you can turn on the neutral on the go.

                        To make it more convenient to shift with the heel - you can change the position of the gearshift tab and put the rear part higher, lower the front. You can change the gearshift lever to a motorcycle one and switch with your toe. A fairly common option: rearrange the sock from the front to the back. The author of this article rides like this all the time and does not even try to shift with his heel.

                        Adjust the position of the foot to switch with your heel or simply change the toe

                        If the moped picks up speed but does not accelerate, this is a slipping clutch. Start by changing the oil to the right one - I described this in the next section. If the oil change did not help, then it's time to change the clutch friction discs.

                        Friction discs Clutch set 3 pcs, suitable for cabbage cabs until 2011:

                        What oil is used

                        PARMAREMALS OFFICE -30, 10W-40, 15W-50, JASO approval MA

                        The oil in the cab works simultaneously in the engine and in the gearbox - this system is called "wet clutch". Japanese manuals for cabs of all years indicate 10W-30 oil with a JASO MA wet clutch approval. The American instructions have a link to the ambient temperature: up to 35 ° C 10W-30, and at temperatures up to 45 ° C already 10W-40.

                        In addition to the ambient temperature, consider your operating conditions - the viscosity in the instructions is indicated for the case when you adhere to the 35 km / h allowed for Japan and do not force it off-road. It is not scary to fill in oil with a different viscosity and earlier than the prescribed interval.

                        Viscosity depending on operating conditions
                        10W-30 - use oil with this viscosity if you drive in a quiet mode up to 35 km / h, without spinning the throttle to full.
                        10W-40 - standard viscosity for most situations: city, including traffic jams, driving on the ground with rare slippage. You can allow periodic spin-ups in the cutoff.
                        15W-50 - fill this oil on a long journey when the throttle is constantly open to full. Also, this viscosity is useful for off-road driving with frequent slippage and poor engine cooling.

                        It's okay if you fill in the rest of the car oil 5W-30, 5W-40, not a single Cab has died from fresh car oil. True, the clutch may slip and then it is better to find another option. If there is a choice on the shelf, look at diesel truck oil - it has strong base oils, and the formulation often meets the JASO MA standard, but this is not claimed in any way.

                        The selection shows oils that are better in some ways, worse in some ways, but the engine will work fine with any.

                        How to change the oil, how much, how often

                        The oil change interval in the official instructions is 3000 km.
                        There is no oil filter in this generation cab.

                        The official instruction implies that you will use it “officially”: do not drive more than 35 km / h, no off-road and passengers on 50 cubes. The figure of 3000 km should be treated as a guideline and as the operating conditions become more difficult, reduce this interval.

                        If you are changing the oil for the first time after purchase, buy an inexpensive oil, drive it 100-200 km and drain it. So you flush the crankcase after an unknown oil with unknown change intervals for an extra 200 ₽. In severe cases, it can be repeated. If you drain black oil, it is not necessarily bad, on the contrary, the oil washed the engine well.

                        The oil capacity is usually indicated on a label on the right engine cover. The smaller value is the volume of drained oil, the larger one is the total volume of the crankcase. If you exceed the maximum volume, there is a chance to push the seals.

                        This label shows: oil drain volume 600 ml, crankcase volume 800 ml

                        There are two drain plug-like bolts on the bottom of the crankcase. To change the oil, you need the right one in the direction of travel.

                        Oil change steps

                        1. Warm up the crankcase with a short drive
                        2. Place the Cub on the center stand
                        3. Unscrew the fill plug
                        4. Place a container under the crankcase, unscrew the drain plug - it is on the right in the direction of travel, a 17 mm wrench is suitable for it
                        5. Tilt the cab in different directions, for example by the trunk
                        6. Clean the drain hole with a rag and tighten the bolt with washer
                        7. Pour 600 ml, then check the level on the dipstick.

                        Carburetor

                        Carburetor has a large service area. Most often, a simple disassembly, cleaning, carburetor adjustment is enough to make everything work as it should. In case everything is bad, you can buy a repair kit on Webike or from Alpha, but not everything is suitable from there.

                        Not all carburetors can be adjusted from the factory, on some Kaba there is no notch for a screwdriver - then you need to make a notch for the slot yourself. Then play around with the screws so that the reaction to the throttle stick is instantaneous in both directions - opening and closing. The correct setting will be indicated by a spark plug after the engine is running - it should not be in a black coating, in which case the carburetor is rich, or in white - it means that the mixture is poor.

                        What gasoline to fill? What is the expense?

                        Both the carburetor and the injector have the same compression ratio and are suitable for gasoline with an octane rating of at least 90. The higher the octane rating, the higher the combustion temperature, and there will be less deposits in the engine. Even from high-octane gasoline, you can feel an increase in power and a decrease in consumption, however, at the level of error. You can constantly ride on any one, or you can alternate filling AI92 and AI95 - focus on local gas stations and your sense of beauty.

                        A set of sprockets and chains with size 428 is also sold and placed - it has a higher resource, but at the same time, the weight of the set increases and the load on the engine increases. Change sprockets more often or load the engine more - the choice is yours. To change the size to 428 or 420, you need to change the entire set of sprockets and chain.

                        The sprocket is loose on the shaft a little, this is normal.

                        To make top speed a little more, rpm less, gears more authentic - put the drive sprocket a tooth more or the driven sprocket a few teeth smaller, for example 14 × 39 on the Super Cab; 14x42 on a mailer, 16x39 on C90. Most cab drivers talk about positive changes in movement with such a small change.

                        In Russia, there is a large selection of chains and sprockets for Kaba. For example, kits from the Chinese Alpha, which can be bought at any nearest moped shop. If you drive a little and not fast, then this one will do, it will serve for several years in the mode of 500-1000 km per season. Nuance: the Japanese star lock does not fit Chinese stars - they do not match in size. See that the set includes a Chinese lock or buy separately.

                        There are better options, such as AFAM or JT chainrings, in combination with a D.I.D chain. or EK - such kits are more expensive, but their resource is higher. This is your option if you drive constantly and want to do less chain tightening.

                        Depending on the quality of the kit, lubrication and chain tension, the kit will last 5000 km (the worst China) - 15000 km (JT + D.I.D.).

                        How to maintain chain and sprockets on Cable

                        The interval for lubricating and tightening the chain in the official instructions is 500 km.

                        Kaba has a chain without rubber seals - this one can be safely washed in gasoline or in any other chemistry that is at hand. Let the chains dry before lubricating. After lubrication, also wait 5-15 minutes before moving off.

                        To reduce the wear of the sprockets and the chain itself, keep an eye on the tension. Check the tension in the chain case window - if it fell below the visual center of the hole, then it's time to get the tools and tighten.
                        If you mainly drive on smooth asphalt, then tighten so that the chain deviates upwards in the casing window by no more than 1 centimeter, and if off-road, then by 2 centimeters. Add half a centimeter to this if you weigh 100+ kilograms.

                        Rear wheel 2. 0 bar 2.25 bar

                        When choosing, you need to pay attention to the size in combination with checkers. The front fender can fit a 2.50-17 or 70/100-17 tire with any studs, and 2.75 fit with or without studs. Back you can put 2.75 with any checkers, and 3.00 with or without modest checkers.

                        There is a nuance that the game with dimensions rests on the power of the Super Kaba C50 - it will be quite difficult for him to turn wheels larger than 2.50. To compensate for the heaviness of the 2.75 wheels, put the drive sprocket one tooth less or the driven one a few teeth more. C90 is less susceptible to this, it will calmly digest 2.75 on two axes.

                        Pads and drum go long. If you have worn linings on the brake drum, this is a sign of a high mileage for a moped. Sometimes, regardless of the remaining friction on the block or drum, they need to be replaced due to old age / oakiness and enjoy the new quality of braking.

                        To improve braking without changing pads, simply clean the brake dust that accumulates inside the drum and lubricate the brake pin.

                        Front Suspension

                        A sore point of the linkage suspension in Kaba - the front wheel leans to the side when braking. This happens when the bushings are worn out. After replacing the caprolon bushings, laxity disappears and the wheel does not break to the side.

                        There are two types of bushings: for new-style levers without grease fittings and grease fittings, and for rare old-style levers with grease fittings. Almost all of them have levers of a new sample, respectively, and you need to take bushings for a new sample. If you have an oiler press on the levers, take bushings for old-style levers.

                        Compatibility of spare parts from Alpha, Delta

                        For tables, spare parts known to me are used, which can be found everywhere in online stores. Use these tables to narrow your search, not as truth. There are many options for Chinese spare parts, I can not take into account something. Trying it on live is always safer.

                        Engine tuning, cubage increase

                        Cab is designed for confident slowness - love it the way it is. But if the standard power of 50 cubic meters is not enough for you, then there are several options for how you can fix the situation. Be careful, even after tuning there is a chance that you will not get the desired effect and then you should reduce expectations or change the technique.

                        - Supply CPG 72cc without replacing the head ≈2000-3000 ₽. On Chinese spare parts, this will happen only in one case - you need to take a 147FMH cylinder, and to it a low piston from a 139QMB scooter. The famous article "Ozverin for Kaba" tells about this method.

                        cylinder-piston group 72ss, 47 mm ≈1500 ₽
                        Low piston from a scooter ≈300 ₽
                        Set 47 mm ≈200 ₽

                        -Set the CPG 72ss ≈7000 ₽ for this: Change the GBC, as well as put a carburetor 16mm and wider exhaust. This will give the coveted 70 km/h in any conditions: uphill, against the wind, loaded. The installation process is described in the cubing increase manual. 9Ol000 ≈8000 ₽. will fit on a standard cylinder head, will give an increase in thrust, but there will be almost nothing on high ones. One of the easiest and most reliable ways to improve the start from a traffic light.

                        Kitaco carburettor cab tuning kit ≈8000 ₽.

                        - For the injection motor, supply the SP Takegawa kit ≈28000 ₽. Injection Cub without numbers starts to ride almost like a carbureted Super Cub C90, but still will be inferior to it. Along with speed, fuel consumption also increases to 2.5-3 liters. And the pluses are that you are still without numbers, technical inspection and insurance.

                        SP Takegawa AA01 injection motor tuning kit ≈28000 ₽

                        - Obtain a license and buy a Super Cub C90, C110 or other motorcycle - 20-45 thousand ₽. It seems like a joke, but often tuning turns into infinity, which the owner does not need - he would like to drive, not tinker. In this case, it is better to take a model that gives the desired speed from the factory. Learn to drive for ≈20000 ₽, add money to С50 and buy С110 ≈25000₽. Or just go and buy a normal maxiscooter.

                        Stores where to buy spare parts

                        There is no “everything for Super Kaba” store in Russia. Our fate: it is unstable to grab spare parts from a disassembly, in the community, to pick up from a car or from Alfa live, there are spare parts on Droma. Original spare parts are available on Vibike, Megazip and Impex.

                        3 red light blinking in speedometer

                        A blinking red light indicates that you have exceeded the 35 km/h limit in Japan for mopeds up to 50cc. Japanese traffic police have already left for you.

                        When braking, the front wheel breaks to the side, before 2012

                        The bushings on the front linkage wear out. Refer to the suspension section and order the bushings indicated there.

                        Check the ignition key → Add gas → Check the position of the carburetor valve → Pull the choke → Check spark plug → Drain old gasoline air filter → Adjust carburetor → Check compression

                        Moped twitches on the go, stalls when unscrewing the throttle, injectors

                        The injector has a fuel filter on the fuel pump. When it clogs, the moped starts to jerk. The terminal stage - it can start because the pump supplies a lot of fuel when the key is turned, but when the throttle is opened, it stalls. You need to disconnect the nozzle, remove the tank, disconnect the chip from it and remove the fuel pump. Disassemble the pump, be surprised at the amount of debris, clean the fuel filter.

                        Blinking Check Engine, injection Kaba

                        Blinking indicates a malfunction. For example, the lambda probe sensor may be broken or you have poured too much oil into the crankcase.

                        Count the number of blinks, find this number in the list:
                        1 - inlet pressure sensor
