Suzuki 500 4x4 quadrunner

Quad misfires, black smoke, runs rough. Dies at idle. Checked jets in carb, flooding, found bad needle, replaced it, readjusted float, Replaced o ring gasket at intake, checked boot, checked coil and found weak spark. Any ideas?

Thanks,

John

Plug boot might not be making good connection with coil wire. Coil could be going bad. There are some direct resistance tests that you can use to test some of the ignition components using a multimeter. If you don't have a service manual, I would get one. It will have the test specs and procedures for your machine.

      Chain guard solution 1987 Quadrunner LT230E
      By Yamahahahaha
      I'm in the middle of repairing damage from the chain coming off of this from the previous owner. (I learned this is somewhat common on these for various reasons.)
      What are you guys using to either help keep the chain correct and on the sprocket or guarding your engine in the case that it comes off / breaks?
      Is there an upgraded guard that can bolt around the sprocket in replacement of the currently broken OEM alluminum?

      My 1992 TRX00 recently stopped firing.  I understand this is a common problem. I have ordered an aftermarket CDI unit.    TJ

      Suzuki Quadrunner 250 Manual
      By GTX-Racer
      I am looking for a PDF version of a manual for a Suzuki Quadrunner 250.  I am not sure of the year, but believe it is a late 1990s model.

      Hello all!
      I was given a 2000 Suzuki Quadrunner 500 (Quad 500 Runner?) and its current state is a bit of a mystery!  
      Kept indoors but hasn't been run in 5 years.  We're not trying the engine until the gas is replaced, and the tires are reinflated. But the previous owner said their only issue was stalling when shifting to reverse without giving some throttle.
      I'm optimistic!  See y'all around!
