Hello everyone!  Just joined up.  As an introduction, I've had a Kawaski Bayou KLF300 2x4 since my Dad bought it new in '86 (nearly as old as I am), done a lot to keep it running through the years, especially with starter motor and carburetor work. 

I'm also working on a 1993 Suzuki QuadRunner 300 for a friend.  Seems original carb was MIA so he bought one online, put a 120 main jet in and then asked if I could help - still running bad.  So I'm here asking if anyone has the specs for idle screw turns, float height and valve adjustment specs.  Looking to download the service manual soon from here when I'm able to.  I've cleaned out the carb and reassembled it, it had some assembly errors, and so far got it to start and idle fairly well, bit unstable, and it drives good but tends to stumble when starting out with light throttle, and then when releasing the throttle sometimes it dies.  Think I'm getting close to having it dialed in.  Also have to look at the rear brakes, pedal goes through the floor and no braking at all.  Everything else appears pretty good, even the speedometer works.

Thanks in advance to everyone, cheers!~

Hi Bender, I got my friend's KingQuad all dialed in, brakes fixed, now starts and runs great, he's happy.  Could you give me some symptoms of your own, and I'll see what I can figure out.  I have found in the past that spark problems are very much on or off like a light switch - it either works or not.  Much more common is fuel problems.  Cheers!~  Bellarmine

Nice quad in the profile pic there Bellarmine.

I agree about the cdi, they rarely give problems.. the unit itself mostly go, or die. The fuel system gives more running problems. The charging is a common cause of bad running though too though.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      I am new to this site. I have a 1987 Suzuki LT230S Quadsport I think. Is there a difference between quadsport and quadrunner?

      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!

      I have a 1990 Bayou 220 that runs pretty well for it's age--needs a new muffler, but sounds tough.    Have had to start with a pull cord since I got it, and recently started troubleshooting the start button.  Finding a lot of information on this issue in the forum, but haven't been able to chase it down yet.  Got a new battery, new starter solenoid, and going to replace the starter relay this week, but not convinced that's going to do the trick, since I can't get the neutral light on when turning the key on.  I can start it by jumping the solenoid, but the 2 black wires to the relay do not activate the starter.  Bad ground or a short somewhere?  Is there a good way to just test the ground?
