Yeah I'll have to check it. Just so silly. It was running and then it just stopped. My buddy was riding it and so now he feels so bad. I could be something so simple. I have a SunL ATV-115 that I picked up for a $100 bucks from a guy down the street. He couldn't get it running and advertised it on Craigslist for $150 or best offer. I got it home, bought a new carb for $51 from a guy around the corner that sells the parts, and it fired right up. It was running fine for a few minutes and just died. Couldn't get it to fire for nothing. Come to find out the ground on the CDI module was bad. It was crimped and in the plug but the terminal was crimped around the insulation but not the actual wire. I pried the terminal apart, recrimped it and we now have a great running extra atv for the kids.

I buy these and fix them for resale all the time. People just give up and no shop wants to play with them. I do have the advantage of having a guy a block up the street that stocks the parts for these though. Most people aren't so lucky.
