1994 Suzuki King Quad Carb Rebuild Kit Question

[superdude811]

im looking for a carb rebuild kit for my 1994 king quad. i found rebuilt kits from 1991-1998 except 1994! can i use a 95 kit or a 93 kit? are the carbs the same?

Have you checked sites like bikebandit.com and looked in their OEM section? See if the part numbers are the same for the carb...between years.

All 91-98 LTF-4wd use basically the same Mikuni BST31SS carb. See:

CARBURETOR REBUILD KIT: SUZUKI LT-F4WD

Why do you need a kit? I've never replaced a part on either of my old Suzuki's carbs.

The 91 has over 6000 miles and was a wreck when I bought it. Taking the carb off and just cleaning the fuel bowl area seems to cure most problem. To prevent future problems

install a 1/4" inline fuel filter. I got one off ebay for under $2

ok thanks, and my dad recommended i do a kit, but i just pulled it apart again yesterday and found it very clean. i soaked it in marine cleaner(my local hitching post recommended i do it) and when i was done it looked brand new! i also soaked some screws and things in it to clean them up too! it worked great! im going to put it back together and try that.

also when taking it apart i found my fuel mixture screw was VERY far out, im guessing that had a huge effect...

question tho, will the fuel filter mess up the fuel pressure?

The fuel filter will cause no problems. I bought my 1993 Suzuki LTF-4wd new and the dealer had installed one. I didn't even know it was there until it plugged up and needed replacing 19 years later.

This is the one I bought, it is identical to the one it replaced, sorry I was wrong on the price, they are $4.75 :

Just cut the line on top where it passes under the seat and plug it in. No clamps needed because the pressure is so low. Note the directional arrow on the filter.
