My son's trying to get a 2003 Prairie 360 running. Over a year ago, he'd rebuilt the carburetor using a SHINDY 03-112 rebuild kit from JT Cycle & ATV, and it was working fine; however, when it wouldn't run recently, he took the carb apart and the jet needle was rusted in place. He cleaned that up as good as possible and replaced the jet needle with the old one that wasn't rusty. Now, he can only get it to start about 1 out of 5 tries, and when it does start, it won't run unless the choke's on. The spark plug's good and is sparking. It has compression. Any ideas on what he should try next or look into?

I'm trying to help a buddy out with his bike (he's not really on the internet or familiar with these forums) and I'll admit that I am not super familiar with the transmission and clutches in these bikes. I owned a Brute a few years ago, but never had an issue like this that I had to troubleshoot.
So basically my buddy bought a group lot of 650's to build one good bike out of. He got it all put together and has it running but when he pushes on the throttle the clutch doesn't engage till the RPM's are quite high and even when its moving it doesn't really speed up, almost seems like its in "limp mode". He's tried 2 different transmissions so I don't think that's the problem.
Is there any adjustment on the clutch engagement? Anything else I can tell him to look at? Let me know if you need anymore information if you think you can help.

I recently picked up a '97 Prairie 400 4x4 that didn't run. I didn't get much information from the previous owner except that it was running a couple of weeks ago, then started losing power. After that, it just wouldn't do anything... no crank, no start. The electric start didn't do anything and the pull start seemed locked up. When I got it, it had no fluids whatsoever—no oil, no coolant, nothing. I figured the engine was seized. I took the pull start recoil off and tried turning it with a wrench but it didn't move. I took out the spark plug and put some lubricant in the spark plug hole. After a while, I was able to get it moving and it turns now but isn't super easy to turn. I put oil and coolant hoping it would fire up but still nothing. I took out the starter and tested it and it worked perfectly. I tested the starter solenoid and it clicked so I assumed it is working. The battery is good and holding a charge. I also put in a new spark plug as the old one was somewhat corroded but didn't look that bad. After I tested the starter, I put it back in and ran some power directly to the starter. It started cranking the first time I gave it power but didn't do anything after that one time.
Any ideas of what I should do next would be greatly appreciated. Always wanted a quad so I really want to make this work but not sure if it is do=able.

Was riding my prairie 400 the other day started to miss out and then just died no spark I pulled the seat off. The battery was swelled up. I replaced the battery would not start no spark pull the control unit and there was a round quarter inch hole broken out of the Gel coating on the back. I figured it was an internal issue and ordered a new module still no spark, replace spark plugs and coil still no spark. I’ve checked all the wiring and cannot find any issues. I am not that tech savvy and really need some help. Anyone have any ideas? thank you.

Hello All
I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!
