1999 King Quad 300 Choke position

Had the opportunity to buy a 1999 King Quad really cheap with snow plow included. Has 2000 miles on it. Im used to having Hondas and i am not familiar with Suzuki at all. Where should the choke be when running? I runs with the choke lever toward the ground but stalls when coming to the end of pushing a pile of snow.

Up is off. The Suzuki starter (choke) is not a butterfly choke, but a fuel enrichment system. It is designed to only be needed below 40°F for starting. After starting gradually move it up as the engine warms. Shouldn't be needed after only a few minutes. Also when starting with the starter on (down) because it enriches the fuel, don't touch the throttle or you defeat it. Both of my 93's start down to 20°F by just tapping the starter. No choke and no throttle. If your spark plug and fuel are fresh, yours should start like that. At 2000 miles that model is just getting broken it. With proper maintenance it should last 8000+.

If you want it to plow even better, you can remove the Super Low lockout pin so that it can be put in front differential lock in low or high. The mod also makes it shift ranges easier. Here's a link to a lengthy thread on the mod. It'll probably take longer to read it all than it actually takes to do it. I think the only reason Suzuki put that lockout on them was for product liability reasons. Just don't drive it in High with the differential locked at high speeds on hard surfaces.

Im going to give that a try this up coming weekend. It is hard to shift from 2 wheel to 4 wheel drive so i have just been leaving it in 4 wheel since im only using it for plowing. Samething happens when going from high to low or vice versa. Again im just leaving it in low. Is there something to check to make the shifting of the subtransmission easier? Figure it could you atleast a new filter and oil change.

That sub-transmission/differential shifter is normally a PITA. Some guys says it is like night and day, regarding how much easier they shift w/o the lockout pin. Others say it didn't make much difference. Probably depends on how well the shifter is broken in and how well they cleaned and greased it. If you have the time, take it completely out and apart and clean any rust, etc. Then grease it with marine grease. Bet it will be a lot better.

When you change the oil, watch carefully for the small o-ring under the filter and be sure you re-install it. I usually pull the RR wheel. It just makes everything easier to get at. When you think you have all the oil out, let the jack down as low as you can with that wheel off and watch how much more comes out. To add oil I use a long neck funnel and a 2 ft length of clear hose attached to the end of the funnel. It goes in slow. Fill until it just reaches the fill line in the window with the wheel back on and the machine level. Run it a minute then shut it off and ad enough so that it is between

the lines. Make sure the oil says JASO-MA approved on the bottle so your wet clutch won't slip. Personally, I use Shell Rotella T6 fully synthetic 5W-40. That way I can run it year round. I think the main transmission shifts easier with the synthetic oil. Just MHO.

While you are in there by the filter, it is also easy to adjust the clutch. It's the little round cover about 11 o'clock from the filter. You just remove the cover, loosen the locknut, tighten the inner adjusting crew until snug then back it out 1/8 turn. Tighten the lock nut and replace the cover. It's hard to hold the inner screw while tightening the locknut, so I just make a mark on the cover lined up with the slot in the screw and check it after tightening the locknut. It usually doesn't move.

      Have a 1998 AC 300 2x4, Just installed a new carburetor. Engine starts easy but the choke RPMs are very hi and take along time (5-10 mins when cold out). After engine has warmed up choke releases and it idles and runs fine., It does no have an electric choke. The choke lever is never used and it seems like an auto choke? Long story short, how can I lower the choke rpm levels?
       
      Also, carb came with a spare145 jet, not 100% sure what is installed. Could this impact choke RPMs?
       
       
      Any help and information greatly appreciated.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      Hello everyone, I just picked up an 02 LT-F250F the other day and have been in the process of tearing it down to fix some stuff- one of which was the cylinder base gasket leaking like a sieve. Well, I know why that is now, and I also discovered that someone had been in there before. I didn't take pictures, but it looks like it was probably run low on oil at some point, the cam journals and the "bearings" (for lack of a better term) in the head and the valve cover are totally wiped out, very deep grooves.  From what I know it's very difficult to repair aluminum in this way, so I'm trying to figure out where to go next.
       
      1. Have someone grind down the head and valve cover and fit actual bearings in since the aluminum is screwed, and have the cam ground down to match.  I have no idea what this would cost.
      2. Buy a replacement head+cam+valve cover.
       
      #1 I was hoping someone might have some advice on, but #2 seems like it'll (probably) be the more cost effective option.  However I'm running into some difficulty, it seems like the 2001 and 2002 models specifically use a different head part number,  11100-19B10, instead of  11100-19B01 like for all earlier models.  What exactly is the difference between them? There are obviously far more of the earlier heads because it ran for over 10 years.  Are they actually interchangeable? I've also noticed there are heads from the LT250EF that has 4 valve heads but also otherwise look identical.  Would those work as well possibly?  I'd like to not have to drop $500 on machine work or new heads on a $1300 quad that I'm already putting a bunch of new parts on.  Oh, and it has a new piston and the cylinder itself looks pretty good too, as I said someone was in here before me.
       
      Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics of the carnage tomorrow.

      If you had to choose one mod that you couldn't live without, or had to recommend one what would it be?
