i used to own a 2000 quad master 500. did u put an aftermarket carb on or a direct oem replacement. i had the same problems and what it ended up being was the aftermarket carbs fuel system was not factory configured properly. so i put on the oem carb and set the fuel properly. i would have to say that if you put on the oem carb then you do not have the carb set properly. The quadmaster 500 is the most sensitive carb i have ever played with. And as for the inline filter? do not put one on. it does adversely affect the operation of the quadmaster as i tried that too. the only other thing would be that you have an intake air leak.

it is a little bit of common sense and easy knowledge if you are a mechanic. if you have 2 filters in line it restricts the flow twice as much. that is how a filter works is through partial restiction with the filter element. so what kind of shop do you have? I hope it is not backyard! By the way I am a journyman automotive and motorcylce mechanic and am just finishing up for my marine mechanics. They teach you not to double filter unless you up your fuel pressure!

Inline fuel filters have alot.of surface area. I havent seen many filters that restrict flow that arent clogged

I am not a motorcycle mechanic nor have I been to any motorcycle type school. I am the owner of a heavy equipment repair business so I do repair alot of generators. Most of the generators are tapped into the fuel tank of the truck itself and they run a screen and an inline. Most are now EFI but i see my fair share of carb generators(mostly ONAN or Robyns) My two cents. Again maybe its different with atvs and i have no experience with suzuki.

well i think you might read up on your gravity flow fuel systems and and go from there! i have about 10 years ecperence as an auto mechanic (certified 2 years of school ) and over the year i desided to go back to school another (4 years motor cycle masters degree) an curently have over 7 years in that feild (experence) fuel flows alot faster with a gravity system that aparently you know about or know of .. it will flow just fine through an inline filter with the fuel screens in the tank the filter you should use inline should be 1 with a screen filter element in it and not paper ... most good name brand inline filters are the screen type.. not the paper ones that will restrict the flow ... like automotive filters... and that being said .. im not going to argue with any one that does not understand the graviety fuel system on an atv or motorcycle ... good luck on the quadmaster... and im sorry about hijacking your post and there should be another person saying they are sorry to you about hijacking your post to start an arguement with another member ... thanks an again sorry ...CK1999_400ex

      2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems
      By Cj Winds
      I have a 2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems.
      Usually it shifts ok when cold but after couple minutes it will stop shifting with no codes.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in first gear is 74psi. The 2nd shift clutch oil pressure when in second gear is 74psi.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in neutral is zero. The problem is when the tranny is in neutral the 2nd shift clutch pressure starts around 10-15psi and builds to 20psi. Is this normal?

      2005 Suzuki King Quad Battery Question
      By LMI
      Hi all.  New to the forum & quads.  Seems like a great place full of info.
      I just recently picked up a 2005 Suzuki KingQuad LTA700.  I need a battery.  I've been reading up on conventional vs AGM types.  I have a Royal Distributing and Canadian Tire.  RD has 2 types avail for my year/Model a battery YTX16-BS CRANK $75, and BATTERY YTX20CH-BS YUASA $140.  Neither of these is the type from the manual FTZ16-BS.
      from what I can tell... I think the only difference is the capacity with the $75 unit rated at 14 AH/10HR and the $140 unit rated at 18 AH/10HR ... which is the rating in the manual for the FTZ16-BS.  How much does this make a difference for nearly x2 the cost?
      And about the models/type numbers.... what is important to know ... they all end in "-BS" but are the other details relevant or just manufacturer naming?

      2000 Suzuki QuadMaster LT-A500F Fuel in Crankcase
      By buriedpast
      As the title says, I've got a crankcase full of fuel / oil to deal with and figure I'll just start from the top and move through the system.  Going to start with a rebuild of the petcock and then the carb if the problem isn't fixed with the petcock rebuild.  I figure I'll go with a Moose kit unless others with experience recommend another brand (All Balls, etc.)
      Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.
