On line Technical Resource
Any grassroots effort begins with sharing
information. We are committed to building and maintaining an on-line
resource for Kanga and IPC owners. If you have a question that hasn't been
addressed, please click here and
send it to us. Or if you would prefer to speak with a person (and who
wouldn't) you may call us
Mon-Fri 8:00 am - 6:00 pm EST at (770) 329-3041.
Carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor is a vital part of the engine and requires
proper equipment, experience, and knowledge to adjust. Most adjusting
should be left to an ATV mechanic. However, the idling speed may be set by
the owner as part of the usual maintenance routine.
Note: A diagnostic tachometer must be used for this
procedure.
1. Start the engine and warm it up for a few minutes at
approximately 1000 to 1200 rpm. Occasionally rev the engine to 3000 to 3500 rpm. The engine is warm when
it responds smoothly and quickly to throttle movements.
2. Connect the tachometer and set the idle to the specified idling
speed by adjusting the screw on the left side of the motor in the middle of the carburetor. Turn the
screw clockwise to raise the idle level, and counter clockwise to lower the idle level.
3. Specified idle speed:
1500 rpm
Clutch Adjustment
To adjust the clutch, locate the adjustment screw on the
right side of the motor, loosen the lock nut on the adjuster screw, turn
adjuster clockwise until you feel tension, then turn the adjuster screw
clockwise 1/4 turn and tighten the adjuster screw without moving the adjuster
screw. Warning - please take precaution not to damage the "o-ring" located
behind the locknut.
Magura Disc Brake Bleeding
It is very important to
use only Magura Blood mineral oil in our brakes.
Using any other type of fluid may cause damage to the seals or cause the brake
to overheat causing total brake failure. Using any other fluid other than Magura Blood will also void the warranty.
- Marta SL, Marta, and Gustav M - Fix the caliper in a
position so that the hose connection to the caliper is at the highest
point possible. Hose must be positioned vertically. You may have to loosen
or unscrew the caliper fitting bolts that connect the caliper to the frame
or fork to get the caliper in this position.
Louise FR, Louise, Julie - Fix the caliper in a position so that
the bolts that hold the caliper together are horizontal. You may have to
unscrew the lower caliper fitting bolt to get the caliper in this
position.
- Remove pads and push the pistons back into their
cylinders completely with a plastic tire lever. It is important to remove
the pads during a bleed to ensure they are not contaminated.
- Assemble your Magura
syringe, tube, and m6 threaded bleed fitting. Fill this completely with Magura Blood only. Make sure your bleeding syringe is
totally full and air free. Unscrew the 3 mm or 5 mm bleed plug located on
the caliper with a hex wrench and attach your bleeding syringe. Tighten
fitting 1/8 turn with an 8 mm open end wrench.
- Loosen the 5 mm clamp bolt and level the master
cylinder (lever assembly) so that the reservoir is horizontal and slightly
tighten the clamp bolt so that it stays in place.
- Take the reservoir cap off with a T7 torx wrench and remove the rubber membrane.
- Start the bleeding process by pushing the fluid
through the system from the bottom up using the bleeding syringe. Use a
second syringe to take the excess fluid out of the reservoir before it
over flows. Also, it is important to tap the caliper and line while
pushing the fluid through with the handle of a screwdriver, etc. Push
almost the entire amount of fluid through the system.
- Slowly start cycling the lever blade. This will
push the fluid through the system from the top and out the caliper and
into the bleed syringe. Keep the reservoir full of Magura
Blood with the second syringe so you do not introduce air into the system.
Cycle lever 20 times or until air bubbles are no longer coming from
caliper. Your system should now be totally air free.
- Make sure the reservoir is completely full and
re-install the reservoir membrane and cap with torx
screw.
- Important step - Place the pads back in the
caliper, but do not secure them. Take the caliper fitting screws
completely out of the mounting tabs so the caliper is free. Now re-install
the wheel with the rotor. Place the caliper with pads on the rotor without
fitting screws. Push fluid into the system with the bleed syringe still
attached to the caliper. Stop pushing on syringe when you feel resistance.
This will set the pistons/pads on the rotor for the particular pad wear
and put the maximum amount of fluid in the system.
- Take the caliper off the rotor and take the pads
out of the caliper. Loosen and take the bleed syringe off the caliper.
Then re-install the bleed plug and tighten.
- You are now ready to re-install your pads and
properly set-up your caliper on the rotor.

Engine won't start
Some of
these may seem like very obvious reasons, but I'm going to list them anyway...
1. The engine switch on the
electric start is not in the "ON" position.
2. The key is not turned on.
3. The transmission is not in
neutral.
4. The safety tether located
on the back has become disconnected.
5. The
ATV is out of fuel
6. The
fuel line has been shut off.
7. The
spark plug is bad.
8. There
is no spark coming from the ignition coil.
If you still can't get the
engine to start, please call us and we will walk you thru some additional
options.
