2005 Suzuki Vinson Carburetor Problems

[mowerman]

What makes the value piston work up and down. Its will run idle but when you give it the gas the piston in the carb will not move up. First time to ever work on carb on this type atv. Need help Please. This is a 2005 Suzuki Quad Vinson 4x4.

Thanks Mowerman

Hello Mowerman, and welcome to the site. Could you please give some more info on the machine, year, make, model and engine size. This will be helpfull for us to help you with your problem, and is also required per forum guidelines. That being said, the thing that makes the slide, or "piston" as you call it move,is the throttle cable. Now the problem could be in the cable itself, the throttle assembly, or where the cable attatches to either the linkage or to the carb slide. Depending on what kind of machine you have, the cable will either attatch to linkage that operates the slide or it will attatch directly to the top of the slide. The only way you will figure out for sure what is wrong, is to find the problem. Lucky for you, the problem will be easily identified as soon as you see it. I would start by taking the cover off the throttle assembly first. If you find no problem there, I would trace the throttle cable to the carb and inspect where the cable attatches to the carb. If the cable is intact, and moves along with movement of the throttle lever, then the problem likely lies in the carb itself.
