It took a lot of work and rejetting but I've managed to get the Motoku clone carb running pretty damn good on my Quadrunner 250. Part of the idle problem I was fighting ended up being a fuel pump issue, there was no fuel in the vacuum line but I think there was a pinhole leak in the diaphram. After replacing it I no longer have issues with it stalling every time at idle when warm.

Sometimes the chinese carbs are our only options unfortunately. I have had mixed luck. On a kodiak the previous owner put one on and then sold the machine because it ran so bad. I tried everything I could think of to get it to run right and never did. Found a used OEM and problem solved. Swapping jets and setting the float is minimum. Seems like they never cold start or choke right either. have gotten carbs where air passages were never drilled. Total fail. Seems like on lawnmowers they work much better. Not perfect but same scenario, OEM is just not available new or used so you have to make something work. I was fighting random problems with a 300 bayou. Bought a chinese carb just as a process of elimination. Ran pretty decent. So I swapped jets and been running it ever since.

Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

Never said I wasn't going to vote, even voted in the primary, just said I wish their there was someone with some brains to choose from rather than a couple of idiots

As cited in the Hur report, Biden read classified material to his Ghost Writer. Which means, he had them, he knew he had them and he didn’t turn them in at the time, which means that his possession wasn’t “inadvertent”. Not to mention reading classified documents to someone who didn’t hold a clearance….all those things are felonies. Given all of that, it’s not hard to imagine that those documents weren’t just “stumbled upon” and that they were actively looking for them when they were “found” because Biden knew he had them. I handled classified materials for 30 years so I am very knowledgeable about its handling and can assure you that no one “inadvertently” walks away with TS SCI documents. I have several issues with Biden beyond the classified materials issue, and therefore won’t vote for him. I have just as many issues or more with Trump. Personally, I’m done voting for someone I don’t think should hold the office. It’s a great county, and still will be after the next term is over. It really amazes me that people think that one man can “destroy our Democracy. Our system has checks and balances and they work.

You may feel you have poor choices but by not voting you are in effect casting a vote for the one who is the worst choice.

Gator idling (or trying to)

Please give me a truck driver or anyone that is not a complete idiot to vote for !!!!

You can adjust the throttle in the throttle body but would have to set it to about 4,000 rpm to keep the motor running. Low idle is entirely different than erratic idle (up down, up down -> dead)

In my Canadian view on your election, if you don't vote you are effectively voting for the worst possible candidate. I am not a "them or us" voter. I vote for the person who I think will best represent my community, with a secondary regard for the party they represent. In your 2 party system that entails voting for the "wrong party" at times. As I see it , I don't agree with some of the things Biden has done, but the main complaint against him is his age. He still has control of all his faculties, His running mate appears to me to be capable of doing the job if she has to take over part way through the term. I could fill a data bank listing tRump's faults and connections to Russia, his admiration of dictators and his immorality and flouting of commercial law and the tax system. He certainly doesn't represent "Christian values" as I know them, I find it appalling the support he has among the Evangelists. Kennedy is a nut case even his family doesn't support and warns against him. There is a huge difference between inadvertently possessing some "classified" documents from your administration and voluntarily handing them over and possessing and sharing with individuals who are not unauthorized to see them, and then hiding them to retain them. For what purpose is a big question you should ask? From statements his staff has made, he quite possibly still have some stashed away that were moved while the search of Mar-A-Lago was under way. Not voting may be a choice, but as I said, it is in effect a vote for the worst possible candidate. This is the time to vote for the best candidate(s) offered despite whether they belong to the "wrong party" or not.
