Last spring I purchased an ’02 TRX 90 for my son. It always kind of started hard, but was manageable. I’ve tried to start it this winter and it won’t start. The spark plug was completely fouled out, so I changed it out, and added some Seafoam to the gas (gas was put in this fall). It still wont’ start – not even close.
When I purchased it, the guy said he rebuilt the carburetor. He was fiddling with the carb when I got there to pick it up, and initially had problems starting it, but after some adjusting he got it going.
I’m not very mechanically inclined. It looks like carburetors are around $30 or so. Should I try swapping it out? Or is it even a carburetor problem at all? I tend to think it is, because that’s what was messed with before I bought it. But maybe I’m wrong.
Are these type of problems typical for the TRX 90’s? My brother bought one of those Chinese knock off’s that he claims has a 110cc Honda 3 wheeler engine in it. It has electric start, etc. I’m tempted to cut my losses, get the TRX90 running, and sell it to buy one of the Chinese quads.
