Hi,

Newbie here! I recently bought my first ATV - an 01 Quadrunner 500 4x4, semi-auto, shaft driven. I love it...came with a plow/winch setup and all. Low miles, only 1250.

Problem is that after riding it for a short time (even 5-10 mins) and shifting down into neutral, the engine revs up to almost scary rpms. It doesnt die down until I shift in and out of 1st a couple times. Then when I go to shut it down, it lets off an incredible backfire. Am I doing something wrong or does this point to an issue someone is familiar with. Ive run through a tank of fuel, added stabilizer...but to no avail.

(I read through several threads and never found one similar to mine.)

Thanks!

Welcome to QUADCRAZY and Congrats on your first ATV!

Sounds like you are getting too much fuel and backpressure is building. Have you adjusted anything on the carb, like the idle screw? How does it start cold, does the choke work and does it idle well?

Hi, thank you for a response. The quad starts right up when cold with the choke set about half way. I release the choke back to the off position after about 2-3 minutes and she idles just fine. I can leave it idling like that for quite a while with no issues.

I have not adjusted the idling screw on the carb, what would be the best way of getting at it? And do I turn in a clock-wise or counter clock-wise manner? Thank you!

      By HSTAR
      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      1996 Yamaha Timberwolf 4x4 Struts and Shocks
      By McG75
      Hello I’m new here and was wondering is anyone knew of good replacement part numbers for front struts and rear shocks for this atv? I think I’ve found a new rear shock, that looks like the original but there is no dimensions or anything and was wondering if there are any afterMarket new front struts available. I know it’s a long shot but any help would be appreciated.

      1996 Yamaha Timberwolf 4x4 Rear End Width
      By McG75
      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.

      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!
