1986 Suzuki LT quadrunner 230 GE Bogging out at full throtle

Recommended Posts

I have a 86 LT quadrunner 230 GE I had a post about high idle i couldnt fix well it was the boot so now its fixed but im bogging out on full throtle I think it may be throtle cable as i had to make adjustments to it because it was getting high revs when turning handle bars but now may have to much slack though it seems like its going up and down good on carb . Do you guys think its a carb issue or a throtle cable ? Idles perfectly but I will say i did put a carb on i had in shop OEM for this quad but i honestly dont know how clean it is I do have a chineese carb thats brand new i dont know why i just didnt use it but thats neither here or there Thanks in advance its been a few weeks of hell with this quad and its so close to being a beast again

Sounds to me it is leaning out  on full throttle. Possibly a carb passage plugged or possibly  carb floats set too low

I believe dirty carb i stupidly put a old carb on that i should have chked forst im going rebuild it tommorw or put a clean one on that i have im almost positve its that

Had issues with mine after I pulled it apart and cleaned it. Idled beautifuly, and revved up but would then die down and stall. Was doing my head in had the carby off five times and couldn’t work it out. Turned out I had mixed the choke jet and the main jet and had them the wrong way around. They are the same size to look at, but, the hole in the main jet is larger than the choke jet. Swapped them around and runs like a champion again. Hope that helps

thanks I kind of fixed it honestly it runs alot better had to change flange on engine side of carb and then changed all the air ducts from the air box out changed all fuel lines I want to say its fixed but it still does not run the way id like I have to change all the jets because Im really convinced that the jets i got on ebay from china are not the correct sizes even if they are marked as the correct size I have all new OEM jets just have not had time to swap them out prob will do it this week. Witch jet is the choke jet? I have it running pretty decent I clocked it about a week ago it did get up to 49 mph but it just does not feel right my problem is I have 2 4 wheelers and a dirt bike so its hard to remember how each one ran or runs especially when i haven't been riding the Suzuki much Thanks for input im going to chk i just not sure witch is choke jet

You really should download a manual. If you look in the back of the manual it will have a supplement section where they describe all the differences in different years, and in those sections you may find a carby with the size jets you have..

If you are going to change jets, you need to change both the air and fuel metering jets, and slide needle and discharge tube.

i have a manual I was just replacing old jets with newer ones but I feel the china rebuild kits many of the jets are wrong I got OEM jets from patrzilla just have not used them yet

I have the quad running pretty good I think u helped me in the beginning of this post I basically replaced whole air and fuel system I just want to put the OEM jets back in and see if i can get to the point where im totally satisfied but its not bogging any more just feel it could have more power

SDK777..  Up at the top of the page in "Downloads", there are manuals for free.

Tjakes.. It's important to match the whole carbies worth of jets at a time. They have different cut-away slides, discharge tubes, and needles, all of which are critical to the acceleration process. The idle jetting, both air and fuel, needs to match the combination of slide cutaway, discharge tube and needle you have. And the main jets, both air and fuel, need to be right for the emulsion tube and discharge tube for accelerating, and for full throttle mixture.. But not all the models of carby are going to be right at altitude or with inferior fuel or high or low temperatures etc. So...

If you're making up a carby, it's mostly easier to find a model in the specs that has the same body, with the same hose attachments, (and these can have vacuum ports with different/restricted bores, so watch out), and the same slide and needle that you are going to use, then match up recommended jets to suit. Then try it and adjust things as/if needed... Otherwise we can end up chasing our tails trying to rejet to compensate for a slide or emulsion tube that's not right, and buggering some other aspect of the running up doing it.

Check the supplements for differing carby specs... Build a carby to spec and it will probably run pretty good.

gottca I have the OEM carb that came with quad im going to change all the jets and use all ORm jets as replacements the exact ones from Mikuni so hopefully that heps I learned the hard way what ur talking about with the ebay rebuild kits im going to get on it this week ill post results

      Hello everyone, I just picked up an 02 LT-F250F the other day and have been in the process of tearing it down to fix some stuff- one of which was the cylinder base gasket leaking like a sieve. Well, I know why that is now, and I also discovered that someone had been in there before. I didn't take pictures, but it looks like it was probably run low on oil at some point, the cam journals and the "bearings" (for lack of a better term) in the head and the valve cover are totally wiped out, very deep grooves.  From what I know it's very difficult to repair aluminum in this way, so I'm trying to figure out where to go next.
       
      1. Have someone grind down the head and valve cover and fit actual bearings in since the aluminum is screwed, and have the cam ground down to match.  I have no idea what this would cost.
      2. Buy a replacement head+cam+valve cover.
       
      #1 I was hoping someone might have some advice on, but #2 seems like it'll (probably) be the more cost effective option.  However I'm running into some difficulty, it seems like the 2001 and 2002 models specifically use a different head part number,  11100-19B10, instead of  11100-19B01 like for all earlier models.  What exactly is the difference between them? There are obviously far more of the earlier heads because it ran for over 10 years.  Are they actually interchangeable? I've also noticed there are heads from the LT250EF that has 4 valve heads but also otherwise look identical.  Would those work as well possibly?  I'd like to not have to drop $500 on machine work or new heads on a $1300 quad that I'm already putting a bunch of new parts on.  Oh, and it has a new piston and the cylinder itself looks pretty good too, as I said someone was in here before me.
       
      Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics of the carnage tomorrow.

      I have a 97 Yamaha Timberwolf and it is beyond loud, is there any good options to silence them or at least make them bare able to drive. I know it has a crack in the exhaust pipe, but even with that fixed its still loud.

      Hi everyone, I received a 98 Yamaha Timberwolf from my brother for free, and I'm working on getting it going. 
      I am having the following problem: 
      The engine is backfiring through the carb. 
      I have done the following to try and get the four wheeler running: 
      Rebuilt the carb and set the air screw to 1-1/4 turn out and the circlip at middle position 3
      Replaced the coil, because the cable was loose at the coil end
      Repaired the main ground, coming from the battery
      Replaced the ignition switch, because my brother couldn't find the key. New switch tested good
      Tested the kill switch and it tested good
      New coil tested goodfor both primary and secondary coils
      Pickup coil resistance is at 195, which is correct
      My source coil, is where I believe the issue is. The resistance is 310ohms, and it should be between 428-523ohms
      When I opened the stator housing, there was significant oil, which I have read is normal. Does it sound like I'm on the right track replacing the source coil? Could this be causing my backfiring issue? It looks like the source coil is part of the stator assembly, is this correct? 4BD-85510-20-00 STATOR ASSY

      The studs in the sprocket hub are stripped out. The hub is probably walloed out also. Probably will have to have a new sprocket hub. I doubt I have the ability nor the tools needed for this job. Thanks for all suggestions/opinions!

      I added more fresh gas it sat one day now, it's acting up again. Before cleaning out carburetor it wouldn't idle good and had gas leaks from carburetor. Now it idles pretty good but, if I increase throttle speed at a certain amount it starts missing bad. I'm going to try and post a short video. Just about ready to give up on this thing.😒  you can see reflection perking in video.
