Turning the throttle or adjusting the carb shouldn't have anything to do with cranking the motor.

Member that that these quads need the brake activated to start. I've had a rear brake wire that broke which kept the quad from starting but it turned over.
Here’s the video. As you can see it tried to start initially, but never does more than that. But also depress the throttle and it quits. Also does the same if the idle speed screw is turned in anymore. No idea where idle screw needs to be at right now, ut hasn’t run at all to be able to adjust anything.
