I'm the happy owner of a 1995 Suxuki, - but due to work travel it has been sitting in a corner for more than 10 years. I'm trying to get it back to life, and I have it firing up, but it is rough on the idle (rich), and gas is coming out of the hoses running up to the shifter area. I assume I have to do some work on the carburetor, but I would appreciate any help pinpointing the issue. I have ordered a manual. Thank you in advance.

Spot on, - I'm up and running again.

Still a ways to go before it is back to is own self, - have to work on the brakes etc. but it is running smooth again.

 

Thank you very much.

      I own a 2007 Polaris Sportsman EFI X2 model and have for the past months been experiencing loads of issues. Basically the Sportsman will only start if the throttle lever is pushed and will not remain on idle. This situation has persisted for months now and I have replaced the following parts:

      Sparking Plug
      Fuel Injector
      Fuel Pump
      Fuel Filter
      Fuel Valve
      Fuel lines
      Power Control Module

      The last part replaced was the Power Control Module and the Sportsman was tested and worked fine on a couple of occasions which were days apart so much so that some weeks later I took the Sportsman for an extensive ride and it worked perfectly. This was three weeks ago and today I tried to start the ATV it worked fine a few minutes and decided to switch it off so that I could continue with some prep work. A few minutes later tried to start it up again but noticed that it would only start if the throttle lever was pushed and once I removed my finger from the throttle lever the engine would not stay in idle and would simply shut down. Several attempts were made to start this and also tried to re-adjust the setting by turning the built in wheel like mechanism in the throttle cable but it was to no avail.

      The above have been repeating itself on an off basis. Each time a part is replaced the ATV would work and then all of a sudden will not keep its idle. At this stage I cannot think of any other solution other than possibly some sensors which might have an intermitting fault but I cannot really say.

      Would greatly appreciate any assistance.

      Thanks in advance.

      I get it, turn counterclockwise will decrease, turn clockwise will increase.  My question is what exactly am i increasing or decreasing? Is it clutch pressure? In many videos i've seen it's always "turn counterclockwise" until you feel resistance then back off. Why is it always to decrease? 
      I'm just curious as to what exactly is going on when i turn that screw right or left. And, since there's no manual clutch to engage or disengage, what is going on inside? 
      Reason why i'm asking is while going down a hill in 1st gear, it appears to pops out of gear, but no neutral light, and if i stop, it's in 1st gear still. BUT, (always a but) if the engine is warmed up, it stays in 1st gear. The hill is too steep to use any other gear, so 1st with the brakes is the only way to go down.

      Hi guys, so Im i cam across this pretty nice quad. Its a 2003 400ex. Its priced at a little over $1,000. The seller states that it was previously rebuilt and has a hot cam in it. However, it is not firing. He says that it turns over and has spark. He also redid the wiring harness and still couldnt get it to run. I have some experience with quads from previously owning one.

      My thoughts are its either something witht he wiring harness(cdi, kill switch...) or it isnt getting the right amount of fuel(needs carb rebuilt) or it's the valves. Or could it be timing? What do you guys think? Let me know!

      I have attached a video so you guys can see how it sounds like. I feel like it wants to start but is missing something...

      I'm repairing a 96 Timberwolf 2x4. Many years ago a dog chewed the wires that go from stator to the rectifier/regulator, and I've had to use the pull start ever since. Ive since lost the plug for the stator and on the wiring harness side. I'm ordering a new stator that will also come with the female plug that I need to fix it on the wiring harness side, but I have no clue in what position to put those 3 white wires(ones I'm holding with electrical tape on them) back into the new plug. Since they're all the same color, does it matter? Any info on this or pictures anyone has of their own will be very much appreciated.
