Okay guys I have an 05 Eiger 400 auto 4x4 that runs bad and pops but if you rev it up it starts to clear up and run okay but runs horrible at idle. I have installed a brand new carb rebuild kit and it still runs bad. I have pulled the carb back apart and found no crud or sediment to be clogging it in any way I'm at a loss of why it's running bad any help is appreciated

Try  adjusting the idle  air  screw.  Also  may  be  valves  set  a  little too  tight or  if  the  timing  chain  is  loose it  may  have skipped  a  tooth.  I'd  try  the  idle  air adjustment first , then check  for  vacuum  leaks. If  that  doesn't  do  it, pull the  carb again  and  make sure  all  passages  are  clear  and  jets  checked  for  tiny  missed  holes .  Blow  the  passages  out  with  "Canned  air"  for  cleaning  computers  and electronics  if  you  don't  have  access  to  a compressor.    If the problem  remains  then   you'll  have  to  dig  deeper and  check  valves and  timing.  Usually  running  fine  at  idle  and crap revved up  or  the  reverse  indicates  a fuel   rich or  lean burn problem.

      Hi 
      Is looking for a quad to pull a flail mower as my first priority, but also a bit of fun. 
      So its going to be pulling a flail mower on high grass / weed on a bumpy field at pretty low speed. 
      My budget is not high, so is mostly looking at a old Yamaha Kodiak 400cc / Suzuki Eiger 400cc or similar. 
      What machine would you recommend  ?  - Really want a solid machine since I am no mechanic but can perform a early service myself. 

      (English is not my native, hope it makes sense)

      Need to check all wires, no power in most places, Cant seem to read the ones from online manual,
      too blury and cant tell wire color. Just too small. Thanks Az

      I picked up this ATV that had no spark. The previous owner said he was driving it and it died and would not start. He discovered it had no spark. He replaced the CDI and the coil with no luck. He got tired of it and I bought it. I replaced the stater and now it has strong spark. Now, it starts for a second or two then dies. It will not stay running. I have checked the timing and it is spot on. The valves are adjusted correctly. I see no warn issues with the cam. I put the original CDI and coil back on it. Same problem exists. Compression is at 65 psi (has decompression mechanism),
      I took off the muffler in case the issue was clogged pipes. No change. I replaced the spark plug. No change. The carb was an aftermarket so I put a Niche carb on with no change. I bypassed the fuel pump and that did nothing to solve the problem. 
      I don't know if this is a carb issue or an ignition issue. I am looking around locally for an OEM carb to try out but not sure that will fix the problem. 
      Can anyone help me solve this problem. I am running out of ideas. 
      Thank you for your time
      Bill

      Did a top end rebuild, honed .010 over, new piston, rings, valve seals, etc. When i re assembled i only had like 30 psi of compression but then after it sat all night i now it seems to have gained some somehow, there is much more resistance pulling it over and i even got it to fire for a few pops. Issue i got is that it makes a loud squeak noise through the intake i believe (goes away when throttled so something with carb area) and it seems to not want to run well. I took head cover back off and timing seems fine so im not sure if something is sticky and that's why i got some change over time or maybe the valve lash is messed up after doing all this, i did get another cam for it but i wouldnt think it would make enough difference to need to re lash. Any insight on next step would be appreciated, i will be looking up how to do lash on these because it is a very weird angle to slip a feeler gauge in. 
      Actually cam is slightly off now that i look at the picture, thought it was good while looking in person. Hmm.
