jetting in carb

yes some times they do buddy they take 10w/40 engine oil or use the specialist stuff --->silkolene pro 4 plus 10w/40 and if it still doesnt run get back to me

The float needle is stuck open and not shutting off the gas. Lightly tap on the bowl with a screwdriver handle and it may stop. If it doesn't then remove bowl and clean the float needle and seat.

The float in the carb is stuck open. Remove and clean the carb(s) inside and out. Babbitts has the parts diagrams of many ATVs and motorcycles also. You didn't say what brand your ATV is so check the site and see if it is one that Babbitts handles.

Go to the site below where you can see a parts diagram for your specific bike. You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown.

In the event no price is shown on a particular part and/or the notation "Not Available" is in the description, the part is not in stock. www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrandand/parts.aspx

What wiring. The only wiring is for spark.

depends on how much you took apart but this link gives a pretty good assembly instruction if you are just trying to get the rotor back between the pads just insert a flat blade screwdriver between the pads and slowly pry them apart being careful not to chip or gouge the pads

Good Luck

thing there usaualy a clip on the spline then turn cog and remoce or there may be 2 bolts to undo and turn as above

what do you mean by this buddy????

Chris make sure that you have put the brass washer back on the drain plug the tolerances of the 03's were so tight that the drain plug going into the case even that tiny extra amount will affect shifting and clutch performance Good Luck

I know you're not going to believe this but there is no idle screw on the 03 125 you have to set the idle by using the slack adjuster either at the throttle itself or at the top of the carburator you will have to slide the boot out of the way adjust accordingly tighten jam nut and you're good to go :-) here's a good one on the 03 the brass washer on the thr drain plug if you loose it and put the drain plug in anyway the bike will not shift and if it does shift it will give you a false neutral between some gears when it warms up usualy on the face of a jump. great bike though Ride safe and Good Luck

the best investment you can buy will be a manual from the dealer or a bike store. Then start with the basics like oil changes and spark plugs and air filters and go from there. Read the book from cover to cover.

Clutch plates are probably toasted. Drain the oil, remove the cover where the clutch cable goes into and check them out. Not hard to replace but you do need a special tool to get the plates off/on.

ok buddy is there coolant in there is the raditor fins clear also what 2 stroke are you using and change the plug to a br8eg get back to me

There is only one fuel line that goes from the tank to the carburator. The rest (Smaller lines) are vent lines and a bowl drain tube, that just hang toward the ground.

can you reposition the lower clutch lever/arm to take it up?

Need more info to help...

What it the problem?

then your bearing seal is blown out.
this can happen by too much throttle whit choking.
replace it or fit a new one, its very cheap.

next to the steering head theres a 17 digit number, the 10th digit is the year

try adjust the clutch at the lever if that doesnt work the problem might be that your clutch plates have warped

hi buddy you can adjust this on the fork clamps just unscrew the bolts and move the forks up and retighten or also on the suspension you can undo the big nut on the springs just unscrew this bit by bit and the bike will begin to lower also is this brads dad that goes brixton if not im sorry buddy
