OK guys, Ive got a 1996 suzuki king quad 300. Just where and how do you get to the CDI unit on these? Is there a way to check these if you dont have the suzuki tool or meter?

Well this is a long term problem that keeps getting slowly worse. The atv runs fine for awhile and then especially when it starts getting cold it begins not wanting to start. It also wants to not want to start when i go on long rides.

I took it to a suzuki dealer in helena last year and they replaced the piston and honed the head and it ran fine for awhile but then it started right back into not wanting to start, especially in cold weather. I got out the book and started through the not wanting to start section. the gas is fine, the breather tube is fine but there appears to be a weak spark at the plug. so I am just following the book. It said to check the CDI and Ignition coil but the manual really doesnt show a good picture of exactly where they are.

Hey Mike, I have a similar problem. What was the final cause and solution to the weak spark/no run situation?

      1996 Yamaha Timberwolf 4x4 Struts and Shocks
      By McG75
      Hello I’m new here and was wondering is anyone knew of good replacement part numbers for front struts and rear shocks for this atv? I think I’ve found a new rear shock, that looks like the original but there is no dimensions or anything and was wondering if there are any afterMarket new front struts available. I know it’s a long shot but any help would be appreciated.

      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.

      1988 Suzuki Quadrunner 250 intermittent spark
      By Uglyside38
      I have a 1988 Quadrunner 250 2wd. My brother in law sold it to my son for $20...had been sitting outside for several years. Got it home and had it running in about 30 mins. Ran it a bit and then went to looking at the carb as it was having trouble idling. Was getting it pretty close, then started losing spark...Also, it wouldn't start up every time...only about 1 in 5 tries. Anyway...now, it has what I can only describe as "intermittent" spark. I can get 1 light spark right when the start button is pressed and sometimes one when it's released...but none while cranking. 🤷‍♂️

      I have replaced the spark plug, ignition coil/wire, and traced wires best I can. I noticed a couple frayed wires at the pickup coil where it enters the case. So, now I have the cover off, stator and pickup coil out and trying to test the coil. I do have about 114 ohms resistance for pickup best I can tell. And I can read minute voltage when I drag a magnet across it. Could it still be bad? Can a bad ignition switch/button cause this? (I did have the switch off to oil the choke cable)...pulling rope makes no difference though...any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!! It's the intermittent part that's throwing me off!
