1995 Suzuki KingQuad 300 Mods

[JayJ3]

What mods has anyone done to their KingQuad 300?

• Has anyone removed the pin preventing diff lock in gears other that SuperLow? Any issues with that?
• Has anyone removed counterbalance shaft to gain more power? How bad were the vibrations after?
• Anyone use their KingQuad for plowing snow?
• Anyone mount a snowblower to their KingQuad? How do you handle the weight? Do you add counter weight to the rear? I've heard of replacing the suspension for solid struts? Anyone done that swap b4?
• Anyone else have constantly fouled plugs? I can't seem to find the cause? Torching the plug has become a starting ritual for me. 
• Why did Suzuki design the rear brake to only 1 wheel
• Does SuperLow only have 1 gear? I haven't been able to shift above first?
• Does anyone else have an unreasonable high idle at the recommended 2 5/8 turns out. I need to turn out like 6 turns to get it to idle right. Might be related to by constantly fouled plugs.
• Has anyone replaced the starter solenoid? Is there a way to do it without removing the whole front end plastics and rack?

So I had a fun day yesterday. Was blowing snow with my quad and was too lazy to do a 3 point turn at the end of my driveway and tried to blast through a snowbank with the blower winched up. Immediately stuck and hung up 🤣

It's pretty damn hairy driving at much speed with the diff lock engaged. You should be able to change right up through the gears with super-low engaged..  You do need to wind it out a bit though before doing the changes so the gears don't bind and not want to shift.. Perhaps check the clutch adjustment too.

The plug shouldn't get fouled. It might be burning oil, or need the carby adjusting,(We'd suspect to a leaner mixture, which is counter to my next line..), or need a new plug, or a new plug with a different heat range.

Having to wind the idle mixture that far sounds like it's got a very lean mixture, perhaps an air leak into a vacuum hose or the manifold, or a low fuel level in the bowl. If the mixture is wrong, generally lean, they will/can race at warm idle when they were fine cold.

I'd try to check the plug isn't oily, meaning, I check it's not burning oil/blowing blue smoke,  then check/clean adjust the carby and vacuum hoses, then consider changing to a hotter plug if it stills fouls...
