Hi Guys, new to the forum so apologies if i am posting in the wrong place. 
So my son got a new Quadzilla Proshark from Santa. Seemed to be running fine yesterday but today it starts then dies or doesn’t have enough power to move the quad.

I’ve checked the spark plug and seemed ok. Floats moving in carb. It’s a bit Smokey but not crazy. 

What you reckons the problem? Something simple I can tackle while the shop is closed?

Is there a choke and have you messed with that? It sounds like a fuel problem to me. It starts but then dies out, right? Is there a fuel petcock valve that is in the wrong position possibly? Is this thing new or used?

Yep has a choke but haven’t messed with it. Didn’t need it to start Christmas morning. Cleaned the carb. Jets all fine. Petcock working ok on reserve and on position. 
 

Anyone know where I can get a manual to check position of air screws etc. It’s the Proshark 100cc off road model.

Ha..

If you work on it you'll probably void the warranty..

Blocked exhaust ?

After it's died take the sparkplug out and see if it's wet or dry..

I was going through a Mud HOLE Either there was a log or a rock, or A Dip but just as I was almost through it, Machine, Rolled over on my right side, as soon as I contacted the ground, I Heard A SNAP! I got up, flipped the Quad back over. I had the wind knocked out of me.

      If anyone is having issues with the Mikuni VM24SS carb, I thought I would post what issues I had and how I resolved them.
      Acquired a 93 Bayou 220 that had sat for over 4 years.
      The carb was extremely corroded and pitted and full of leftover fuel.
      Cleaned carb and bowl and was able to get the engine to start.
      Within 30 seconds exhaust would heat up and start to glow red hot.
      Removed carb and recleaned everything, including a second overnight soak.
      Needless to say, after removing the carb for the 5th time and my frustration to the limit I
      realized that my attention had been to the carb body and not to the bowl.
      There is a small brass rod on the bottom of the carb that goes down into the float bowl but is seperated from the main section. I had cleaned that area very well....I had thought.
      ***The corrosion had sealed off the channel that runs from the main bowl section to the small tube section on the side of the float bowl. No amount of carb cleaner was going to get it to budge. So i took a small nail and started to scrape away the corrosion and was eventually able to dislodge enought of the corrosion that carb cleaner would flow through that channel. ***
      I thoroughly cleaned each side of the channel in the float bowl and reinstalled the carb and now the issue of it running lean is gone.
      On a second note the fuel mixture screw was a nightmare to remove as the threads had been corroded and wouldnt let the screw come out. I used a little cutting oil and worked the mixture screw in and out until I was able to push past the corroded threads and completely remove the needle. After a couple passes with a tap to clean the threads it is like new again.
      Hope this helps if you are having a lean running machine.

      First post here need some help/advice. I bought a 2001 king quad 300, vin number JSAAK43A212111871. I have been trying to do some basic maintenance as it runs but doesn't idle all that well . I want to take out and clean/repair the  carb but when looking for parts it ask for model X Y K1 K2. How do I know which model I have? I have tried some vin decoders but they haven't told me. If anyone could recommend a carb rebuild kit for my quad Id appreciate it. Also any tips on tracking down an owners manual?
