1996 350 warrior

[Bowhuntin23]

I have a 1996 350 warrior it runs great just won't idle does anyone have any ideas

[dirtjunkie85]

Have you tried turning your idle screw up a little? will it idle with the choke on? may just need to clean carb?

[Bowhuntin23]

Yes I have tried messing with the idle screw it doesn't seem to help. It will idle all day long with the choke on. And I have cleaned the carb Anything else I can do thanks

If it will run with the choke on that means it is not getting enough fuel. Did you physically remove the carb and take it apart. Use a torch tip cleaner to get in all those little spots. Check the petcock valve, does it have fresh gas?

love the 350 warrior !!! Try cleaning the carb. & also look for any air leaks . Air leaks meaning around the intake manifold. Have you made any changes to the pipe, air filter etc....??? it is for sure not enough fuel if it idles with the choke ! if no changes have been made start with cleaning & looking for leaks around intake as well as checking your air filter to see if it has a good seal.. if any changes have been made & you have adjusted the pilot screw then you have either a pilot jet issue or the needle clip issue ....need help feel free to email I have been through the mikuni carb many times!

What he said.

I have took the carb completly apart and cleaned it. I'm not sure what you are calling the petcock valve though I have not found any air leaks yet! Anything else thanks

Check your valves, they may need adjusting. If they are ok, then try adjusting the pilot screw on the bottom of the carb, that will help richen up the air/fuel mix at idle to 1/4 throttle. Your problem could be that the motor is just getting tired and needs a rebuild, do a compression test.

Have you just purchased the bike like that or is it something that has just started to happen? Have you made any changes to the bike as far as pipe,header,air filter? Many ATV mechanics will tell you the Warrior does not need much when making changes like that ,"THEY ARE WRONG!" I was told by several that they do NOTHING but maybe change the MAIN JET, if at all that ....................... WRONG ANSWER!!! It depends on what you have done to the bike & elevation,compression etc....... I put on a FMF header,FMF Silencer, K& N air filter & I had to change my main jet,pilot jet & adjust my needle clip ....... Do not get down it takes patients & usually is something really small & simple !!!!!!
