How do you fix a ATV that start?

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to try and fix an ATV that won't start:

1. Check the Battery

Ensure the battery has a strong connection and make sure it's properly charged. If necessary, charge the battery or replace it if it is damaged.

2. Check Spark Plug

Remove the spark plug and check its condition. Make sure it is clean and not worn. Replace the spark plug if necessary.

3. Check the Carburetor

Make sure the carburetor is clean and free of dirt. Clean or replace the carburetor if necessary.

4. Check Fuel Line

Ensure that there are no kinks or leaks in the fuel line. Repair any issues you may find.

5. Check the Valves

Ensure the valves are properly adjusted. If they are out of adjustment, adjust them accordingly.

6. Check the Starter

Make sure the starter is properly connected and working correctly. If necessary, replace the starter.

7. Check the Engine Oil

Make sure the engine oil is at the correct level and that it is not too old or dirty. Change the oil if necessary.

8. Check Air Filter

Make sure the air filter is clean and free of dirt or debris. Replace it if necessary.

9. Check Wiring

Check all wiring and make sure there are no loose or broken connections. Repair or replace any faulty wires.

10. Check Fuses

Check all fuses and replace any that are blown.

11. Check Throttle and Choke

Make sure the throttle and choke are in the correct position for starting.

12. Check the Ignition Coil

Make sure the ignition coil is functioning correctly. If the ignition coil is faulty, replace it.

13. Clean the Fuel System

Clean the fuel system using a fuel system cleaner or by removing and cleaning the carburetor.

14. Check Compression

Check the engine's compression using a compression tester. If compression is low, you will likely need to rebuild or replace the engine.

15. Check Electrical System

Check the ATV's electrical system to ensure that it is working correctly. Test the battery, starter, and other electrical components.

If none of these steps help resolve the issue, it may be best to take the ATV to a professional mechanic or specialist for further diagnosis and repair.
