Like many of you I recently bought an ATV off ebay. Its not bad does need a little TLC. But so far I haven't been able to find any repair manuals or much in the way of help. The dealers don't seem to know much about what they sell and I understand they are merchants not mechanics. So I have started a forum for these machines it is a free club where owners can help each other out with these ATVs. I hope ebay will let me post this here as it will prove to be a big help to many who purchase these from ebay sellers. The link to the site is.
I purchased a Chinese ATV from a dealer on e-bay. rived and I completed assembly. It started immediately. I drove it off the skid and it quit running. After trying everything I could think of, I took it to a good mechanic who discovered a naked wire against the frame. Brought it home and attempted to drive it up the hill to my house, but it suddenly stopped and reved up. I cut it off immediately because I knew it must be the clutch. Back to mechanic and surprise, it was the clutch. Sent clutch to their Texas parts center for replacement. That was 3 weeks ago. Throughout the entire process the dealer has been of no help. In addition I have a growing bill for labor (the dealer only supplies parts). I paid for this thing 7 weeks ago and still have not been able to ride it. Any suggestions?
I just found this forum and think this is going to be a good thing. I bought my Atv 150-RD-4 off ebay in November 2007 and being a mechanic I still spent three days assembling and tightening - All bolts and checking all fluid levels and repairing missaligned mount bolt holes. So far I have had no problems with it, about 10hrs on it now. I am making some modifications to meet my needs. i.e. larger rear sprocket to slow it down and more torque. I am 54 years old and don't need to go fast. Anyone out there have a bump steer problem? Thanks everyone.
