Over the winter I had a mouse build a nest in the air box of my 2002 warrior. I took my carburator apart and cleaned it. I got it running again but there are defiantly still some issues. I have tried cleaning it a couple of time now. When I gas it, it runs fine, but then when I let off the gas it continues to run like I never took my thumb off the gas. After a few seconds it returns to its normal idle. Also when I gas it will pop randomly. It wont cut out completely, but it pops like there is air escaping or something. Finally the resting idle is not consistant at all. It revs up and down. It doest do this drastically, but there is a noticeable variance in the idle.

Any ideas or advice on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciate. Thanks a lot for helping me out.

it might be the cable going into the carb, twisted cable or bent needle, maybe something with the throttle valve. probably an easy fix. most times if you take it apart and don't see anything wrong and put it back together, it fixed itself. you might want to get a carb kit too, sounds like the float needle might not be sitting right. air leak might be from the rubber manifold from the carb to block. easy way to tell is when its running, spray some starter fluid around it and if it revs up, there is a leak. if you dont get a carb kit, take everything out (screws/jets) and use (stripped) garbage bag ties to run thru everywhere and if you have a compressor, blow it all out.

hit hate when mice do that . it happens to me just about every year. and i d say ox is right. your cable or needle valve is sticking. clean everything down really good with some carb cleaner.

      I rebuilt the carb on said machine. When I hook up the auxiliary gas tank it runs fine and everything is cool. When I put the fuel tank on and hooked up the lines, it completely flooded the cylinder and even about an inch of fuel in the air box. I'm pretty sure that it comes from the little hose on the petcock and hooks to the top of the carb. WTH is that even for? I mean the thing runs fine on the auxiliary tank, so idk And on the petcock when it's in the "on" position, I get no fuel. The petcock from the bike I took it apart and checked out how it operates. The sharpie marks indicate how it really works. Now the other petcock w/o the sharpie marks is an old one that was leaking that I removed from a Polaris quad. It's exactly the same thing, except the small hose and nipple have been removed. I'm so confused, LOL

      I'm working on a 2002 Polaris Sportsman 400 with shift indicator problems. The indicator panel only will show Neutral and Reverse. If it's in High or Low, the indicator will show "R".
      I have replaced the three position indicator switch on the transmission. There is also a two position switch on the tranny that I didn't replace. If anyone is familiar with this problem, please let me know what I need to do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

      I recently picked up a  2000 warrior 350 and it doesn’t have the air filter box so I was thinking about using a clamp on filter directly on the carb.  Anyone know what I need to get or where I can find it? The one I ordered goes in the box and won’t fit directly on the carb.

      I'm currently working on an 04 Suzuki Eiger 400 and ran into some issues. Main issue being it's really hard to start. Once I get it started, it runs bad. Sounds like it's missing, which I'm pretty sure is an idle issue. It's not my 4 wheeler. I'm working on it for a buddy. Someone started working on the original carb and 2 jets were missing when I got it to work on.
      So, I ordered a new carb. To get it to run, I had to adjust the throttle screw on the handle bar almost all of the way out. Even doing that, it still sounds like it's bogging down and missing. 
      I did put a gas filter on it, which I'm questioning whether or not that's the issue and it's not getting enough gas like it should. The petcock only has an On, Reserve, and Prime option. It also has 2 ports. I guess I have the hoses hooked up right. There's no way to shut the gas off completely, and also it looks like there's no gas getting thru unless I run it on Prime. Reserve drips gas. I'm going to take it apart today and clean it. I'm also going to take the jets I need out of the new carb and put in the old one. 
      I don't know what all this person did you the 4 wheeler before I got it. There's odds and ends missing that I've noticed so far. What else can I try or look for? What could be the gas issue with the carb and petcock? The carb was completely off the bike except hanging onto the throttle cable. The diagram I found for the carb doesn't help me with hose placements. Any help, or questions would be appreciated. I can attach photos if it would be of help.

      I've finally been able to get the plugs to spark by replacing the coils, regulator,  and cdi.  When checking the plugs for spark I noticed that they would spark for only a second or two and then no spark.   I release the start button and try again with the same results.  Shouldn't the plugs keep sparking with the start button pushed?  Thanks in advance.
