2005 Eiger 400 4x4 Auto-stops when throttle is pressed.

[bigisland]

Hello, I have a 2005 Suzuki Eiger Quad runner. 400 4x4 Auto

Starts ok. But when I push on the throttle, it stalls. Maybe the carb needs adjusted?

There is some kind adjustment wheel that turns. I suppose this adjust fuel/air mix to carb. Either way I turn that, it still stalls when gas applied.

Our Suzuki dealer is no longer here, Honda will not work on it...

Stoopid question...but have you checked to make sure the fuel shut-off valve is on? The fuel petcock.

Another reason could be that the carb float is stuck down. If the quad sits, it can be a problem where the float pin oxidizes and sticks the movement of the float, essentially causing a fuel starvation scenario.

could also be some dirt in the carb or the valves are a bit off. my guess would be carb though.

try spraying some carb cleaner in the carb while running. could clear itself ...

Had the same problem with my 07. Twice. Both times it was something foreign finding its way into the carb. This last time, was a damned bug. Best guess it got in through the vent line found just in front of your left nut. Installing a screen on that line next time I have spare time.
