110cc quad bike "elstar dinosaur"

[Rikchick]

Hey guys,

We have this little quad we've had for the kids for a few years, it's in dire need of a new battery to start it, when I went into eBay and searched for the battery model it came up with 0 results, but when I search for 110cc quad battery, it comes up with loads. My question is, does the model number matter or can I just get another battery the same voltage and size?

you'll probably need to just get one the same size 12v 5Ah,
but if you can fit it, a slightly bigger one will be better

look at the gel filled battery, they last a lot longer in off road vehicles, vibration kills them

or you could also use a SLA battery too

and when you aren't using the quad, have the battery plugged in to a trickle charger to keep it at full charge (12.6v^)

Cool, thanks heaps, I was actually looking at the gel ones wondering if I could use them!

Sweet, hooked up the new gel battery on it tonight and cleaned and tuned the carby for a ride tomorrow, it has been running a but rough and the wheels kept turning when not in the accelerator (it's a thumb press) so I tuned the carby a bit, the higher the idle speed the more the wheels spin on their own.... So got to a point where it's heaps better, probably won't take off without the kids on the back now!

But while I was doing that I noticed a clunking sound from the front sprocket..... Checked the chain and it was ok not knocking on anything, and then realised it's the sprocket itself making the noise as it spins, it's a bit loose. I d a quick go at tightening the bolts on it to no avail.... And thought maybe I need a special tool or something to tighten the centre bit????

I took a photo to show u what I mean

Any help would be appreciated....

Also I could not find a fuel tap on the fuel tank of this little beast, so lost about a litre of petrol onto the garage floor when trying to take the carby off..... I had pans to catch it, but somehow most of the fuel missed the pans.... :/ Grrrrr is this unusual? Is it something I can install myself?

is it a full auto? eg no gear lever ?
if so, then yeah higher idle means the clutch is starting to grab and want's to take off.

one of these will fix the no fuel tap problem

the sprocket might be worn on it's splines, possibly the retainer plate too ?
see the chain in your picture, the pin above the r/h sprocket bolt is sitting a touch lower than the one to its' left, and the one to its' right.
that means there is a stiff link, it might have been sitting around for a long time after it's got wet etc and rusted a bit in the join

take the chain off and check them out.
might be able to soak the chain in petrol etc, clean it up, and re-oil it. it might come good ?

Hey my67xr, yeah it's a full auto. So yeah that answers what I was suspecting.

That fuel tap looks like a great idea, im going to order one now!

Ok, with the sprocket, I can actually see the whole thing wobbling side to side when the bike is running, I'll take the chain off and soak it and lube it up and see how it all goes...

yeah the splines do wear out in them.
and the retainer plates have splines too that wear.
it is normal for it to have a bit of movement side to side even with brand new parts fitted
but if it is excessive then replacing it for around $10 inc post might be the way to go.
