My local motorcycle/ATV repair shop is telling me I need a whole new winch for my Suzuki 300 Quad. They hooked a power pack onto the two leads outside of the winch and nothing happened. Are thet lying to me? The winch and controller switch are connected to a small box beneath the hood. Could that be bad..? Lastley, The return switch itself has a lot of play in it and may not be making contact...I don't want to buy another $300.00 winch only to find out it was that little $30.00 celinoid, or what ever it may be... :mad:

Sounds like the sole or switch is the problem.

Here is a link to the winch I just bought. Works darn good to and it's not $300 either.

That's a great price. Did you put it to the test yet?
My back yard has a 27 degree slope to it. So I hooked my winch to the back of the Yukon and winched up the slope. About 35 feet with front and rear brakes on. It worked 5 times better than my WARN winch ever did. The front tires were digging so good it pulled the back wheels off the ground. My quad weights about 450 lbs + me (220). I was pretty impressed with it!:biggrin:

      1988 Suzuki Quadrunner 250 intermittent spark
      By Uglyside38
      I have a 1988 Quadrunner 250 2wd. My brother in law sold it to my son for $20...had been sitting outside for several years. Got it home and had it running in about 30 mins. Ran it a bit and then went to looking at the carb as it was having trouble idling. Was getting it pretty close, then started losing spark...Also, it wouldn't start up every time...only about 1 in 5 tries. Anyway...now, it has what I can only describe as "intermittent" spark. I can get 1 light spark right when the start button is pressed and sometimes one when it's released...but none while cranking. 🤷‍♂️

      I have replaced the spark plug, ignition coil/wire, and traced wires best I can. I noticed a couple frayed wires at the pickup coil where it enters the case. So, now I have the cover off, stator and pickup coil out and trying to test the coil. I do have about 114 ohms resistance for pickup best I can tell. And I can read minute voltage when I drag a magnet across it. Could it still be bad? Can a bad ignition switch/button cause this? (I did have the switch off to oil the choke cable)...pulling rope makes no difference though...any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!! It's the intermittent part that's throwing me off!

      2015 Suzuki Brute Force 300 will not idle...
      By Louznmemind
      Howdy y'all, I'm trying to fix a neighbors 2015 Brute Force 300. Came in with hard to start and won't idle except on choke issue. I pulled the carb and found the pilot jet as well as the emulsion tube partially clogged. Cleaned up everything, put it back together, still having issues...  It will start right up on choke and will also start off choke if you give it just a touch of throttle but it absolutely will not idle unless it's choked just a touch. Also, excuse my ignorance but I'm assuming the "dial" thingy attached to the carb that turns in and out is for setting idle??

      Looking to buy a new SUV
      By Gwbarm
      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!
