I have a 4-wheeler that has not been rode in 5 years and it has been sitting in my yard the whole time and it has no battery in it. I have put a new oil filter in and changed the oil and the sparkplug but the only thing that hasen't been changed or clean is the carbrator and i have been trying to jerk start for the last two days and i put some gas in and it still won't start i say it4 won't start because it needs a new carbrator.
can someone help me?

Could you pop start it as with a stick-shift car? I don't know much about ATVs but if its a standard transmission, you should be able to roll it with the clutch in, and in gear, then pop the clutch, then when it starts, put the clutch back in. Still, I'd just buy a new battery...

Pop start it. Have some one push you down the road, then push in the clutch n put it in second and let the clutch out while your rolling a decent speed. It being in gear will start the magneto n give you a spark n should continue to do so as long as nothing else is wrong.
N if this is what you call jerk starting then just clean out your carb n drag it behind a car pop starting it until it stays running.

if it is a 12 volt system then give it a 24 volt blast of a powerful 100 amp charger when turning the key. not the best thing to do but might just get you started

You prolly need the battery to push start it if it has a battery CDI ignition.

There HAS to be a battery in there or it will never start.
(that has been true of the atv's I've owned)

Pull the plug and pour a teaspoon of gas into the hole, put the plug back in and try to start...make sure all the old gas is out of the tank, fuel lines and fuel bowl on the carb if you can---put fresh gas in the tank and try to start. It may start and run for a few seconds and die--just repeat the procedure on putting gas in the spark plug hole...no more than a teaspoon of gas. If it takes more than 4 or 5 tries to keep it running, then you'll probaby need to spray down the carb throat and passages with carb cleaner or replace the carb or rebuild it. If it uses a 12 volt battery, you could try to jump start it with a car battery too.

it probably wont start real good because its going to have a varnish like build up in the carburetor on it,and this will cause it to either flood or not get no gas at all ,i just went through this with mine it sat for two years,and even with a new battery it wouldn't start,it wont getting any gas to it,there a lot of cleaning to do on the fuel system when one sets like that .its really hard on anything to let it set,but you,ll wind up having to remove and clean the carburetor on it,and also replace the plug on it old plugs wont usually fire real good,good luck with it.
