I’M READY TO ROLL THIS OFF A CLIFF! CHINESE 125cc ATV QUAD ELECTRICAL GREMLINS ARE A NIGHTMARE!

It's another new day pulling this out and I'm gonna show you it's gonna start I've had trouble with this quad ever since I got it running switch on It runs until I try to write it then it stalls Surprisingly it's running longer All right, well, that's odd that's the first time I ever took it out and rode it for more than a minute or two and Actually put some stress through it, you know a full throttle, you know breaking hard sliding and stuff like that And ran just fine. Hmm what naturally fixed this Doesn't stall anymore and apparently has spark all the way through Gonna test this a little bit more. So it's been a few days and I haven't decided if I was gonna just buy the CDI box or could it be the ignition switch? the ignition switch Of course has the start button the kill button and the light high beam and low beam button but inside Could be corroded and maybe I should take that off first and maybe I just need a new ignition switch And that would get rid of the gremlins of the start. No start. You never know when it'll start It's a matter of fact. I just walked out today. Let's see Batteries been charging all night. It's on the start mode So what I jingle this it started maybe there's a lot of corrosion in this switch and it's not getting a good contact I gotta get this going because it has to reliably Start when I wanted to and shut off when I wanted to right now. You never know when it's gonna start But just testing it right now while cranking the engine to turn won't start when you move the kill Start button back and forth back and forth. It cut it wanted to start a couple of times So maybe it's this switch that has corrosion inside if this doesn't work The CDI box has five pins One of the pins is the kill pin the kill the Signal pin if I just disconnected that kill pin from the CDI It should always start because nothing is there to kill it Problem is if you did start it you couldn't shut it off But let's take this off and see what we find inside I hope we can take it apart just two Phillips Now it seems to be running Shake this Okay So now just stop it's still unreliable because I don't know why it just stops The switch is a little hinky, but I think it's better if we just disconnect the CDI wire I'd rather not be able to shut it off then not starting at all. Here's the CDI box I'm gonna remove it from its connection the harness Right there and Then the CDI one is this middle one right here of the five pins. It's the middle pin right there I've been researching so I know which means it's the black wire So I'm gonna try to push the pin out so that we no longer have the black wire You just take a like a pick or something stick it in this part right here where it holds it Here black wire is out. So now there's no way to kill this Let's plug this back in and try to start it and if it does start You won't be able to shut it off. At least that's my understanding It doesn't start So I removed this thing from the switch itself, this is just how it works this is a Start Shut off start shut off basically, it's just a pivoting thing where it touches those two wires so to start Touches both these things together Shut it off They're together. So that's how it works. If you want it to run only one wire is not they're not connected When you will shut it off both wires are connected. So what if I just Disconnected this switch altogether So as long as the green does not touch the black with the white stripe it won't die So should I just cut the black stripe one? Because the green will always be connected mimicking that it's on so if I just cut the black wire It'll never touch that All right. That's not it. I just connected it again mess with this And it worked when you mess with it, maybe I'm starting to think it's a switch. I just get a new Ignition switch this switch not the key thing this thing I can get one of these because this every time I jingle this it does start So maybe there's something loose in there, but I can't figure out what So I just watched a video on how guy was saying that You only need four wires to connect the CDI for you to get spark. And so I did what he said and I don't get any spark So I'm thinking maybe the CDI is bad or intermittent like it works sometimes and it doesn't work sometimes Also, it could be this damn switch too. So I don't know What am I gonna do with this thing? If I don't try to fix it, right? I mean, I don't want to sink any more money into it, but CDI is like eight bucks. So attack like ten bucks. That's probably ten bucks. So do I spend another 20 bucks? on top of a 30 that I've already spent on the other parts if I Don't try to get it running Reliably, then this is junk So I guess I'm gonna go do that. I think
