Finally got the beast to run. However it will not run unless the choke is on the half to full position. After it starts with the choke on, it idles without any rpm change. Nice and smooth. Would appreciate some help.

Thanks for the reply. I actually have three project quads - lf180 - lf160 - lf250. I did a lot of quading in years gone by. But they were much newer than these project quads that I am working on, so I didn't really have to do any rebuilding. I do understand the basics but need help from time to time. Just a question, are there any quad salvage shops in your area. I live just outside of Lethbridge and there is nothing here for parts of older quads? Thanks again. - Mike

alot of times these atv salvage yards are like the car/truck salvage yards going coast to coast with their inventories .... and your could always talk to one and they may give you some info and if someone has a bunch hidden in a barn somewhere ...

kijiji and ebay host alot of parts too

Thanks for the manual. Got it running without the choke tonight. Took a rip around the neighborhood. Needs a few minor adjustments including a sticky throttle cable. Just about got the neighbors fence. Going to take for a spin around Keho Lake on Sunday with the dogs. One down two to go. Many thanks for the help.

      1998 Polaris Magnum 425 starts but dies right away.
      By BillR94
      I picked up this ATV that had no spark. The previous owner said he was driving it and it died and would not start. He discovered it had no spark. He replaced the CDI and the coil with no luck. He got tired of it and I bought it. I replaced the stater and now it has strong spark. Now, it starts for a second or two then dies. It will not stay running. I have checked the timing and it is spot on. The valves are adjusted correctly. I see no warn issues with the cam. I put the original CDI and coil back on it. Same problem exists. Compression is at 65 psi (has decompression mechanism),
      I took off the muffler in case the issue was clogged pipes. No change. I replaced the spark plug. No change. The carb was an aftermarket so I put a Niche carb on with no change. I bypassed the fuel pump and that did nothing to solve the problem. 
      I don't know if this is a carb issue or an ignition issue. I am looking around locally for an OEM carb to try out but not sure that will fix the problem. 
      Can anyone help me solve this problem. I am running out of ideas. 
      Thank you for your time

      Choke problems 2000 Suzuki quadrunner 500
      By Jason39
      I’m having a issue with my choke when its on it runs fine when I cut the choke off the atv cuts off went to take the carburetor off and saw the choke plunger broke at the nut to screw it in could this be my issue? Do I just need to buy a plunger kit and put it on? I took the carburetor off and cleaned both jets anyway just to make sure and it’s still having issues staying on

      2006 LT-F400F stator/generator cover change: What is the best way to check that all is good with the transfer operation before reassembling?
      By middlebrookgt
      I have replaced the cracked stator cover on my non-running 2006 LT-F400F that I purchased recently, checked all the shafts vs the service manual and pics and advice here.  I replaced missing gears, bushings and washers, made sure that truth marks were all aligned properly, that the shift cam springs felt like they returned properly, etc.  IAfter installing the new stator cover I checked the transfer lever for proper movement from L-H-R and then cranked it up.  Happily, it runs and changes gears well in L,  but it will not shift into H or R for anything.  I have opened it back up and am going back through it looking for the missing puzzle piece(s) but how can I best check that I have everything right this time before buttoning it back up?

      Change 2000 TRX250 Top End to 2007 Type?
      By C2INS
      Does anyone know if they're interchangeable?  I have a 2002 TRX20TE and 2007 TRX250TE, so getting to a set of common engine parts would be ideal.
