King quad 300 stopped running

[kingkiwi]

Hi Guys,
Today my trusty 1999 300 king quad stopped on me!!! Its such a good bike. I have checked the fuel and it seems ok? eg its getting fuel. I have also checked that there is spark and there is, so i was after a bit of advise where to look next as I have never had a problem with the bike and there might be simple fix for it that someone knows about. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Jock

Just to let you know that I got the bike going today!! Even though the spark plug was showing spark when it was tested as soon as I repaced it the bike went again?? strange old thing!!!

I think I may know your problem. Happened with my 91 King quad 300, the vent hose on the gas tank stopper was kinked, and the bike shut off on me. I had spark and it was getting fuel, almost got a tow out but then it started again, shut off a little while later. When I got home I realized it was the vent hose!

It could be that the spark plug carbon up and the spark was not strong enough to start.
