11/22/20 - (typing this on 12/05/20) bought the quad ($200) in athens, of course it was the one b didn't like, but was the only one that had not already been snatched up! took it to honey creek, bo immediately started dismantling it
12/05/20 - what? i didn't create a page for this when i bought the thing??? whoops...ok, here it is...it fired/ran BRIEFLY today...the fuse is NOT fine!!! alright, i checked/tested voltage at key, no dice..traced back thru it, turns out no continuity between the fuse itself...it LOOKED like a solid (albeit thin, later in comparison to a new one--that i bought) piece of wire, but musta been broken/weak in there somewhere....bought a new fuse, now it turns over from the key...got ethanol gas, never could get it running off of that...fuel leaks out of the DRAIN TUBE, too...went back and bought a new spark plug AND ether, it tried to start a little with the ether once, but none really after that...had to recharge the battery earlier from all the crank attempts...ordered a carb off amazon, oh, used the new key switch 'cause the old one was hard/impossible to turn and bent one of the keys!
