1992 Suzuki King Quad starting question..?


Recommended Posts

whats up? ok i got a 92 king quad. ran excelent for about 17 years now =) when i went to start it this year, i put in new gas and charged the battery. it wouldnt fire.. checked the plug, looked kinda crappy, so i just put in a new plug anyway. went to fire it again and it started to run but when i let off the start button it went flat instantly. went for it again, choke and a little throttle, and it started and revved up, only to die when i let off the start button, like i didnt have a spark anymore. so my ? is, do you know why my quad will only fire when i have the start button pushed?

Did you leave gas in it for a long period of time? You may just need to clean your carb. Or you may have a loose connection in your ignition system, check the key switch, the kill switch, and all wire connections from the battery to the primary and secondary ignition systems for a loose connection or ground. Also check the coil wire/plug boot.

Pull the plug wire off and test the spark to see if you actually only get spark when pressing the start button. is it a matter of every time you start it, its start up but dies after you release the start button? If so, that's odd.

Like DD said, check your connections.

How does it crank, slow? How old is the battery? Is there a safety switch on that model? I don't remember. It has like 3 shifters right?

      Sorry I suck at these forums so if you see this submitted under update status, my bad. Anyhow this is a new shock for a 96 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 it fits my 96 Yamaha Timberwolf 250 4x4 perfectly. Little narrower are the bottom than the original but everything else is perfect. I extended it to almost a half in from full extension because I’m pushing 350 pounds.  It rides and hold me well. So if any of y'allRace driven shock. have been looking for one and didn’t want to do the research here it is.

      2022 Sector 550, 414 miles on it and the gas gauge reads empty.  I topped off the gas and it didn't change.
      There is no fuse that I could find.  No access at the gauge cluster.
      Wiring on the top of the tank looks good, properly connected.
      Could the sending unit in the tank be stuck or broken?
      Has anybody removed the tank lid?  Any tricks?  
      Any other ideas?
      Thanks for any help,
      Clyde

      My friends KQ 300 starts fine and runs, as soon as you put it in gear and try to accelerate its bucks and farts like crazy, not moving... I cleaned carb and it worked good for 1 day... now back to same problem.... could it be such as a bent valve????

      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!
