My brother and I have decided that this problem on our 4-wheelers is due to using gasoline that contained 10% ethanol. We were told that it wasn't good for small engines,

My idler screw on my ares 125cc four wheeler doesnt change the idle, it keeps shutting off because the idle isnt high enough. Any suggestions

Hey Scott, you might have more issues than just an idle speed, have you installed a new spark plug lately?.. had the carb cleaned and set by a qualified professional... have your cleaned or replaced the air filter?
Try these steps first.. then reply to me.

Fuel will not flow to carb

If you have the fuel petcock (valve assembly attached to bottom of fuel tank) to either 'on' or 'reserve' and no gas is flowing through the fuel line - the most likely culprit is either a) petcock itself is clogged or the filter inside the tank that is attached to petcock is clogged or b.) you could possibly have a malfunctioning fuel cap. The fuel caps are usually vented to allow excess pressure to vent off. If for any reason that fails - then basically it becomes a vacuum issue. You could try loosening the fuel cap - not completely removing - just loosen and see if the flow starts - if so, it's your cap. (Some you could shake to test function - you would hear a rattle if the mechanism was still good - not all though). If loosening cap doesn't help and you're sure you're in correct position - you'll have to remove that assembly. Two screws or bolts usually hold petcock to fuel tank. Remove those two bolts, usually a rubber o-ring type gasket or another type of gasket - and a tube/filter is attached to petcock. As you remove you'll see exactly what I'm talking about- that's actually your fuel filter/reason there is usually not an external fuel filter. IF it's not clogged - the issue lies within the petcock itself. Some are able to be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled - if not/replacing would be only option. These tips are assuming that you've removed fuel line from carb - if not, please check with fuel line removed - if you're still hooked to carb, but are sure there is no fuel flow - and fuel does flow when unhooked/clogged port to carb or your float is not functioning properly allowing fuel to enter carb. All The Best & Good Luck

Why is gas dripping/runnng out bottom overflow line of carb?

Could be one of the carb floats is stuck or the rollover caused it to come off its mounting position. As fuel enters the carb, the float rises with the fuel level until it reaches a position that shuts off any more fuel entering the float chamber and prevents an overflow. Fuel level drops, float drops and fuel flows again. Basically like the cistern in a toilet.

My 2006 Honda rancher 350 just quit running while I was driving it. will still turn over but wont start why?

Take fuel cap off to make sure it is getting air to fuel tank. Check fuel valve to make sure it is on. Drain carb with screw on bottom of carb to check for water. Pull spark plug to make sure it is firing.

I just bought a mud blaster 110cc quad for my son, why does it start then 2 min later stop even with feathering the throttle?

#1 sounds like a fuel delivery system issue. Make sure the fuel tank flows freely to the carb. (remove the fuel line from the carb--from the gas tank and turn on the petcock--gas should flow freely) The needle and seat may need to be cleaned or replaced, this controls the flow of gas into the float bowl of the carb.(remove the drain screw from the bottom of the carb (with everything properly assembled- petcock on)..gas should continually flow through the bottom of the carb --10-15 seconds of continual gas flow will make sure its flowing properly! Both of these sound like a solution to your problem.
