This is my 1st 4 wheeler :'( had i have issues...


i Just got 250 phoenix maybe u can help me.. for some reason when i get it started and i put it in 1st then i start to release the clutch i start to move alittle, the it jumps forward the dies out this is my 1st atv and could use some help since for some reason the atv does not come with a owners manual, so am up in the dark.. i turned on the fuel underneath the tank , now al told me"the dealer" theres another one near the carb which if there is i don't see it. i need a new battery but that's not the problem when i get it started, just cant get it to move .. any help would be great.. thanks

[update ]  i was told that i needed to give it gas  when i release the handle clutch, as i am doing that i  give it gas and the at jumps and dies..  now when i release the clutch  with out throttle you can here it  dying out. here s a link  of a video  i have done to get a better idea of whats happening,,,   i notice that the carb says tao tao on  the  shaft,  i located the throttle screw but boggles me there's a screw in the front where you can reach unless u have tiny hands... any help would be great

are you pressing the throttle lever as you release the clutch?

with a manual transmission as you have on this model, you have press the accelerator throttle as you release the clutch.
once you get it moving you don't have to hold the clutch while you accelerate.
only pull the clutch lever in when you change to the higher gears, and when you slow down to change to the lower gears.
this model is not a centrifugal clutch model.

the manual transmission atv's are tons better, as you lose 20% of your horsepower with a centrifugal (automatic) clutch.


I watched the video and it didn't sound like you were giving it throttle while you let out the clutch.
