The ATV is constantly subjected to significant loads, due to which the components of the vehicles wear out. This leads to a deterioration in the operation of the equipment or its breakdown.
Therefore, let's figure out what to do if the children's ATV does not start. In this article, we will look at the main problems and ways to "resuscitate" the ATV.
Usually, ATV problems are caused by improper use of the ATV, high loads and irregular maintenance. The main reasons why the ATV won't start are:
To determine why a child's ATV is not working, you need to start with the simplest - technical fluids. Quite often, the problem arises due to the banal lack of gasoline. In this case, the quadric will not start or will start to stall. Therefore, before each ride, the rider needs to check the fuel level in the tank.
Also, the ATV may not perform well due to low-quality engine oil. If problems occur after changing the fluid, drain the lubricant, flush the system and fill in new oil.
This is especially true for devices with a four-stroke engine, which must be "bathed" in grease.
Most riders store their ATVs for the winter. And if the procedure was performed incorrectly, it will be difficult to start the quadric after a long period of inactivity. Let's start with a simple battery failure. After a long stay in the cold, the battery can “leak” and completely fail. Do not forget that the battery could simply be discharged.
Also, in case of improper preservation, rust appears in the ATV fuel system, the spark plug and wiring fail.
To pinpoint the cause of the failure:
But if a children's ATV does not work on a battery, it would be best to contact a specialized service.
Technicians will need to check the ATV's engine, wiring, and batteries.
Quite often, problems with starting the quadric engine appear due to a starter malfunction or damaged contacts. To verify that this is the cause of the problem, you need to:
But what if you are far from home and the starter does not work on the children's ATV? In this case, you need to close the relay contacts. This way you can start the ATV engine.
Something as small as a spark plug can also prevent the quad from starting. Therefore, it is important to inspect the part, and if it is damaged, it should be replaced.
But if the electrode is intact, you should:
In addition, the rider should check for spark. To do this, you need to unscrew the candle, place it in the cap and touch the metal surface (without paintwork). A blue spark should jump on a serviceable element.
There are many reasons why a child's ATV won't start or stall. And in order to "reanimate" the ATV, you should:
In general, almost all problems can be solved by yourself. But if the quadric does not start after cleaning the contacts, replacing the relay and other basic procedures, it is better to contact the workshop.

Have you seen the movie Colors?
Of course, it's not about different colors of engine oil and what they mean. But luckily, if you're looking for the answer to why the oil in your pitbike/ATV is milky or white, you've come to the right place.
If you're looking for a movie in which an experienced cop and his rookie partner patrol the streets of East Los Angeles and try to keep local gangs under control, you've come to the wrong place.
For many reasons, oil can be called the blood of all petrol and diesel vehicles. Pit bikes and ATVs are also no exception. If you cut yourself and the blood coming out of the wound is any color but not red, you will be frightened and call a doctor. Human blood should be red; likewise, the oil should be amber or dark brown in color. If it has a different color - depending on the color - change it or call a mechanic (you can also handle it yourself).
We hope you check your oil regularly. Timely replacement of engine oil and monitoring its level is a guarantee that the engine will work stably and efficiently. So the next time you check your oil and it's different from its normal amber color, you know you're in trouble.
If the oil is black, it is doing its job well. The oil absorbs contaminants, preventing engine damage and premature wear. The black tint of the oil indicates that it contains impurities, has lost its viscosity and needs to be replaced.
Be aware that on some bikes, even after one ride, the oil turns from dark brown to black. It is important to know your bike well in order to avoid frequent oil changes and reduce operating costs.
But if the oil has exceeded the hours recommended by the manufacturer and is black as night at the same time, change the oil and oil filter.
Milky butter is a cause for concern. Milky butter is somewhat similar to coffee with cream. Sometimes it's even frothy, like a milkshake. A milky shade of oil indicates the ingress of coolant into the lubrication system or the accumulation of condensate. Most likely, the problem arose due to antifreeze; and since antifreeze, like oil, is based on hydrocarbons, they mix well.
Coolant and engine oil are chemically stable. For example, a damaged cylinder head allows coolant to leak from the cooling jacket into the combustion chamber. Also, a crack in the "water jacket" can cause antifreeze to enter the engine.
In addition, a failed water pump makes it possible for the two fluids to mix.
If it's not the antifreeze and you've also checked the radiator and other possible leaks, then someone deliberately wants to ruin your trip and pours water right into the engine. Perhaps not, it also happens that moisture has accumulated in an ATV or motorcycle due to violation of conditions during long-term storage. Condensation collects at the bottom and oil stays at the top, and when you start your bike, the mixture of water and oil gives off a milky finish.
In some cases, the oil is milky in consistency and resembles lard in aspic, which means that either you found your own barn, or completely ignored the necessary maintenance of your equipment and abandoned it for a very long time, or never changed the oil for 80,000 kilometers.
If the oil has a silver tint, that is, it looks like the liquid metal body of the T-1000 robot from the second Terminator, then you are in really big trouble and they are not related to the fact that the oil is magically removed from the engine and transforms into a metal dagger.
If you see the golden color of the oil, you also, unfortunately, have not found a gold mine.
When starting a new motorcycle or ATV, it is best to change the oil and filter after the first test ride, as it contains small metal chips. Even in good engines, metal chips are present in small amounts, and this is one of the reasons why you should change both the oil and the filter regularly. Also, copper or bronze thrust bearings can add a golden color to the oil and lubrication components - this is why golden fibers can be seen in engine oil. This is not a cause for concern.
But still, if heavy metal gets into the oil, and it's not guitar riffs from your radio, the result will be failure of the thrust or connecting rod bearings due to increased friction in the crankcase.
Now you know why regular oil checks are so important. It not only allows you to identify serious malfunctions, but also makes it possible to diagnose the condition of an ATV or a pit bike in a timely manner so that their maintenance does not cost you a pretty penny.
