Check where your throttle cable is installed into the carb if it had been removed when you had the top end done that it is put back togather right. And check to see if your cable is sticking for some reason. If it's running good and the adjustments screws are not changing the idle that would be a starting point to check and it's free. Look for any binding. I'm sure some others on here will help you to for things to check. Good luck with finding the problem!

I checked the connection of the throttle control valve and the carb and all seems well. It only goes in two ways and the first way the motor will not start. The first way the throttle will not work all of the way. So I believe that I have it in correctly. I also looked at the choke and choke cable connection and i believe that it is also correct. started it up and same thing. What is next as the repair manual does not cover such an incident?

Thanks

They kinda do. The king quads are great atvs that's what I ride and you won't believe the quality. I personally like the 700 and 750 over the others but they are all just great examples of suzukis high quality machines!

No disrespect but you'll find I'm kinda opinionated :D I'm really friendly though lol. But I hate the 700 king quad... almost with a passion! My buddy has had one since 2008 and first of all the caster problem almost killed me. I can't steer the hulkin beast once I try stopping! Its like a shopping cart with the wheels pointed the wrong way. The steering locks full left or full right and I can't pull it back without going fully the other way. Its dangerous! I'm surprised suzuki doesn't have a lawsuit over it. I've been beggin him to do the caster mod (well known mod) for 4 yrs but he don't want to cut into it because its "new". Caster adjustment Mod! Thanks DemiJohn

And then, its too freaking big! In all directions! We ride together a lot and I ride my little 2 wheel drive 250ex. I'm ALWAYS having to wait on him or run the winch cable for him. He's either pinned between trees or can't climb or descend hills that I can tackle easily on my 250ex. Its laughable. Sometimes I have to get off and ride it for him, but I see his point. The king has such a high center of gravity and its so huge that it is scary. Body english doesn't mean much on that beast. He flipped it over backwards 4 yrs ago and sheared his thumb off. Cost $20,000 to put it back on.

Ok if it isn't a hill or live trees he can't get around, its the ones that have fallen over. I can't drive over them, but I can man-handle the little quad enough to get over. The 700? Gotta stretch the winch cable out and take forever.

But hey he should get better traction in snow and mud right? I haven't seen it. A couple winters ago we went riding with another buddy on his MudPro. As long as the snow wasnt over 6 inches, I actually did better than either one of them did. Once the snow got a foot deep I was screwed. But I guess 4x4 must have some redeeming features lol.

A couple months ago we went camping and he pulled a 500lb trailer thru the mtns. I figured the king should be able to handle that no problem. Which it did going in, but coming out he got stuck on a red clay hill. Now the problem with CVT is evident. Once the tires started to spin, they took off full speed! He couldn't crawl. It was either full blast or nothing. CVT is nice for tooling around, but not good for manuevering technically or the best for traction. And there is a delay waiting for everything to kick in.

And I can't go without mentioning he's sent his clutch off for work 2 or 3 times. And the belt slips.

Its a pretty looking machine and it goes fast and oddles of power, but I wouldn't want one. In the real world trying to get from A to B its almost useless unless there is a nice road cut thru the woods. I guess it is nice to put your feet up on the racks and not worry about shifting. Its nice not to have to worry about a carb. But for me those things aren't nice enough to overcome all the problems it has.

I haven't had the 300 king for long, but I like that its narrow (42 inches), really low center of gravity, has gears with a super low range. Its like a tank or bulldozer. I'm not kiddin! And it won't take off uncontrollably like CVT will. The fastest it will go in super low is 5 mph at 9000 rpm. Actually 5th gear in super low is about the same as 1st gear in high range lol! I love it and it makes any amount of work I have to do to it worth it. Its light enough that I can pick it up somewhat if needed to unpin it from around trees. The 700? Not a chance.

I do wish they made a 300 king with fuel injection, but nothing exists that's even remotely close. The trend is for these huge gigantic machines. Everyone wants to see whose is bigger. If I wanted bigger, I would just drive my truck. The idea is to go smaller ;)

Sorry don't mean to offend. I'm just blunt and that's how I see it :)

      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.

      In search of the backwoods nudist campsites and ready to select the right ATV.
      By mehim
      Hi everyone. 
      Let me explain the thread title. 
      My husband and I are very active in the nudist community, and we have stayed at many and most of the mainstream nudist and clothing optional campgrounds in the USA. We are now approaching our retirement and would like to start a podcast to share those off the road / backwoods / little known camping areas where nudity is allowed. We have purchased a 5th wheel camping trailer with a rear garage for the ATV and now need some good reports on the one to buy. 
      We are most interested in a side by side unit but would love to get your thoughts. 
      Feel free to stop by and say Hi and ask anything you would like to better understand what we are looking for in an offroad unit. 
      Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.

      Help with 1987 Yamaha Big Bear YFM350FWT Carb
      By ResQ91
      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      98 arctic cat 300 2x4 hi rev choke when started
      By Its-always-something
      Have a 1998 AC 300 2x4, Just installed a new carburetor. Engine starts easy but the choke RPMs are very hi and take along time (5-10 mins when cold out). After engine has warmed up choke releases and it idles and runs fine., It does no have an electric choke. The choke lever is never used and it seems like an auto choke? Long story short, how can I lower the choke rpm levels?
       
      Also, carb came with a spare145 jet, not 100% sure what is installed. Could this impact choke RPMs?
       
       
      Any help and information greatly appreciated.

      Have you ever purchased a quad from an impound auction?
      By DarkRider
      This is something I'm extremely curious about. Has anyone ever attempted to buy a quad (or any other vehicle) from an impound lot? I've always wondered if this could be a bargain, or a waste of time. Google searches do turn up some helpful results. Looks like the state of NJ holds auctions online which I'd be a bit hesitant about.
       
      My online searches haven't really turned up any results of anyone buying an ATV this way. I'd be really curious if anyone tried this, or knows someone who has. I've actually found a couple pages with online auctions for my state, but none had ATVs.
