1994 Suzuki ltf250 - Cranks Up~Then Quits

[BURNETT73]

I just bought a quadrunner yesterday for a project and it has been sitting for a while we put some gas it in and it trying to crank up but once it would it wouldn't stay running the gas was on we are thinking it's to do with the gas peacock or the carb. Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix it?

i would take the petcock off first, or even the hose leading to the carb and make sure it flows. i would check your voltage regulator with an ohm meter and make sure you are getting steady current. last i would take the carb off and clean it thoroughly, the wire twist ties you get for garbage bags, strip them to the metal and run them through everything and use lots of carb cleaner, make sure the needle and seat are good, needle should have a nice point to it. make sure the float level is at the right height too.

Check the plug too, but like ox says, most likely the carb needs to be cleaned or rebuilt.
