Mongoose / Mongoose 90 Starting Problems.
« on: January 19, 2012, 11:15:25 PM »
We bought a Kymco Mongoose 90 last summer(I believe it's a 2005, but I can't be certain).
When we bought it, it ran great, started no problem, kids loved it. However, When we tossed it out into the shed for the winter and are trying to pull it back out now, it is giving us the biggest problems.
We've tried the basic tricks to get it started, however neither myself nor my dad are mechanics so we don't really know where to go. Luckily, the people who bought it from are friends so we have had them trying to help us(also not mechanics).
We've tried Topping off the tank(The obvious), checking the spark and making sure it had compression.
However, it fails to do anything.
The old owners told us to send some starter fluid into the "Two holes" beneath the seat and now we are getting a *chug chug* sound however it doesn't sound like it wants to start. I've been told that they start no problem in the cold(it's about 35 degrees F here so I wouldn't even call that "cold").
I was just wondering where I should go to next, we're all out of ideas and we're really not happy about having a quad that we can't ride around.
Handlebar switch is on, key is on, fuel is set to ON(Res also doesn't work), we're using the choke like the manual says... Just lost at where to go next.
