Several months ago I repaired the carb to my sons 98 300 2x4...

My mechanic cleaned the carb and replaced a needle seat...

$6 part...

My question...

Is there anyway to prime the darn thing?

The high idle gas setting does not do a good job priming the carb for cold starting...

If you let the thing sit for a month or so it is the coldest natured engine I have ever owned...

Ever...

I understand that the newer carbed models came with a primer bulb...

Is there a fix for this issue other than ponying up for a newer carb???

BTW, I filled up the tank with gas and utilized ethanol treatment...

Many thanks for any replies...

      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?

      My 2004 Yamaha Grizzly 660 seat is a mess, torn up, cracked, and I have been duct taping it for a while.  I bought new vinyl for $35 and need to do it one day. A new seat used to be well over $250 but now its under $100 so I couldn't resist. I got it on ebay with a 10% off coupon for $85.05 plus tax. https://www.ebay.com/itm/146040022154
      In case anyone is looking for a new seat for their Yamaha Grizzly 😁

       
      I saw it on Amazon as well for under $100
