Question for Pocket Quad Owners.

yeah...
i just looked over the thread...i went from regulating throttle to clutch...to DOWN with minipocketrockets.com...to praise DDM...back to regulating...then to air box...back to clutch....

sorry...

sorry for the confusion... by threads I meant the amount of threads sticking through the clutch bell in the pic you posted of the bell. and my answer would be the same. Also, ask as many questions as you want - somebody here can probably answer most if not all of them...

ah...now i understand...yeah not a whole sticking out...i will try to put on this new one and see...but i guess without the clutch working i will not be able to tell if there is rubbing...

the only thing working for me right now is DDM has already mailed me the new clutch and bell!!! woohoo!!! thanks for that one!!!

Eclipzedude, i got ripped off too, but mine didnt start and when it did it leaked a lot of gas, by any chance do u know the seller it could be the same people that sold the pocket bike to me.. the people i bought my quad from is the off-road source they are also with allwheels

cutlasskel...thanks again for the DDM referal...i ordered from them on Thurs. and i received the clutch & bell on Saturday!! great turn around...

ok...so i'm posting before, after, during, etc. pics of the clutch reinstalll...

now there's another issue...i let the quad idle for a good 15 minutes...my son got home put on his gear and jumped on to go for a quick ride...when he turned the throttle the engine rev-ed and died...this happened a few times before i got tired of pulling the started... i'm getting old...

anyway...i did a search for 'clutch adjusting' on this site but couldn't find anything for 3 shoe clutch only the performance adjustable clutches...or am i even thinking the right thing? could it be something else wrong?

thanks again for all the help!!

good deal on the parts, huh? those guys are the best (even get free gum, ha ha)
I don't think it is a clutch problem. It seems to me to be a carb problem. (you will get pretty good at this, especially if you have more than 1 bike)

let's diagnose:
1. was the choke on or off?
2. are we talking an Idle to Full throttle blast? or a steady throttle input?
3. have you put either of the governors on? which one?

post up the info and we will go from there...

son liked the gum!!! put the sticker on his rear fender (1st one!!)...

answers:
1. tried with choke on (full down)...then with it off (full up - did stay on in this position long)...then with it on (half down)...and so on...no difference, weird thing is it would idle when on (full down) but when i would turn the throttle, tires would spin for a second and then nothing...shut down

2. it was steady throttle input not a blast (still breaking the engine in...)

3. no governors yet...want to see how he does...so far he has a good concept of 'easy on the throttle'...i'm sure that will only last as long as i'm watchin him...

thanks!!

Thanks to all the help I received on this thread i was able to replace my first clutch...tune my first carb...and put a smile on my boy's face!!!

Thanks again...

just an FYI...along with the help i got here...while i was doing some homework i came across this site that had illustrations/manuals/instructions...
