2005 Suzuki King Quad 700 - No Longer Fuel Injected!!

[atvoffroad4life]

well guys, the retrofit worked great, removed the computerized throttle body from my bike and replaced it with a carb off of one of my hondas , its not quite right yet, the carb does not put out quite enough fuel, going to the cycle shop tomorrow to get oversize jets for it. as it is right now with no where near enough fuel i was able to ride it around my neighborhood, got it up to 35mph, it runs smooth as a dream, anyone with one of these 4wheelers having fuel issues feel free to msg me for more details on the retrofit:yes:

Why

[atvoffroad4life]

why did i remove the fuel injection? it has not run right in 2 years, the original owner took it to suzuki dealer, and to another local cycle shop, has had at least 8 different mechanics work on it, before he finally got fed up with it and told me if i can crank it i can have it, there has been almost 2 thousand dollars sunk into the fuel system to try and fix it, i am not going to have a 4wheeler that is not dependable, i dont trust computerized fuel injection on the trails i ride, the less electronics the better, i put the carb on it, it fired right up, runs great, just gotta rejet the carb so it can dump enough fuel for this engine, it has run longer today than it has in the last year, sounds to me like it was the right thing to do, i am not made of money, i just plain cant afford to keep working on the electronics

also from what i have been reading the fuel system is notorious for giving you fits on these bikes, if its that much trouble then just do away with it, the only thing that changed is the fi light on the dash is flashing now, cause the throttle body is not hooked up

So.cool this worked out for you. A write up on the process would be great.

im really glad this worked too, the process was extremely simple, i am fabricating the permanent intake set up now, what i used to test the idea was a couple pieces of 1 1/2 pvc, now this is not the way im leaving it, so dont laugh at my rigging, i just made it quick and simple to see if it would work or not.

first off remove the factory air box and throttle body, then remove the butterfly flap out of the throttle body, bevel the end of a piece of pvc and hammered it into the top of the throttle body, then put a 90 on it, then another short piece of pipe, finally attach the carb to the end of the pipe, ( if you have a vertical carb you can just put it straight on the original mount) i used a horizontal carb, i just temporarily strapped the gas tank off my rancher on the front rack and run the fuel line, run the snorkle pipe up, install k n air filter on top, put a cap over the filter to stop the mud from getting in it.

my permanent set up will be metal pipe welded to a flange to bolt directly on the head turned back with a rubber boot to connect the carb, then run through the snorkle. i am going to install a fuel tank above the carb where the factory air box was, since no room is left for the filter box, the air filter will go on the top of the snorkle and covered to protect it from excess water and mud

it runs very smooth, only problem is that right now i have to keep the choke cable pulled out, the carb needs to be rebuilt and oversize jets put in, it come off of a honda rancher 350 4x4, it needed to be rebuilt before the engine finally gave out on the honda, if it runs it that good with a bad carb in desperate need of a rebuild, i know its going to run great soon as i rebuild and jet it

this 4wheeler has run more today than it has in the last 2 years. this thing was enough to make you hate suzuki, its made several mechanics, shops, and the suzuki dealer all pull their hair out and finally say come get it,

everything else had been tried at least once, i figured it was time to try some old school on it, im honestly a lil surprised that it actually worked, its in saucier ms, gonna be finished right an on the trails by day after tomorrow

A rode for the 4th sounds like a plan. I love the ingenuity of your temp set up. Sure glad it all worked out for ya.

thank you, now my wife doesnt have to ride on my bike, she can take the honda rancher sitting on 27 inch gator paddles. i can take the 700, its a lot more fun in the deep mud when you have the bike to yourself, im taking the 700 out to the gravel pit by my house, see how it does in real conditions before i take it to the real trails

[atvoffroad4life]

i decided to leave the original tank and fuel pump on the bike, it is not hooked to the engine, i put 12 feet of fuel hose on the pump, use a bolt in the end of the hose to keep trash out, whenever my small tank im running the bike on runs out all i gotta do is pull the hose out of the rear storage box, stick it in the tank an turn on the pump. should be able to refuel bout two an a half times without leaving the woods or having to walk out to get gas, an if anybody on the trail needs gas i can hook em up with enough to get outta the woods with
