Eiger have fuel injection?

Bit colder than expected. 25F. One boy got stuck half way across the river thinking the ice would hold. His dad got torqued, but hey who hasn't done that?

Interesting. Does sound plausible.

Wow, good find. What do you think the source of the fiber crud was?

Curious if anyone is running these? Sellers claim the automatic tensioners loosen at rapid throttle closing from high rev. Is this for real?

Having unseasonable warm weather up here and no snow. Going for a 4 wheeler ride saturday. Dont have any snow machines. With 3 kids, it would suck up all my time keeping them running.

yeah, I drop in once or twice a day too

What happened to this site? Looks like it had a large and active membership until a couple years ago. Rather a ghost town now. Most people just asking their questions and passing through.

Oily plug is usually not a big deal especially since you starting and stopping it often. Check it again after you get it running. Should burn off. It does sound like you have a bit of an oil leak. Again, might not be a big deal. When was the last time you checked the valve adjustment?

Drive chain might be stretched. Will come loose as it heats up. If you cant afford a new one, just keep tightening it.

How is your carb getting full of mud? Correct that problem.

You have the sliding tube throttle valve attached to the needle jet. The tube and needle needs to slide up and down smoothly and the needle jet needs to enter and exit the jet orifice without sticking.

Clever on your throttle cable fix, however, shortening it might cause the engine to rev higher when you turn the steering. Suggest you get a new cable.

You are right, only two wires to the starter. The hot wire is on the starter case attached with the nuts. Ground wire on a starter mount bolt.

Check your fuses next then power to your starter relay. Attached block diagram and WDM.

Assuming you have a LTF250, you need the Cylmer 1987-1998 Quadrunner- King Quad manual. This website doesnt have it but you can find one elsewhere online relatively cheaply. Ebay is a good source.

Are you getting power to your starter? Is your battery good?

I have 2 machines that do this after they sit for awhile. Even above freezing. I hit the face of the wheel with a hammer or large rock to loosen it up. I think it does have to do with water and not just from the ride. I pressure wash pretty aggressively after riding and spray the inner wheels. I probably should ride them around a bit before parking them, but usually just put away wet. Suzuki engineered sealing the wheels poorly so water will get in. I run them with the drain plugs removed because I want to be sure the water gets out. I also fear water being trapped in there when it does freeze. I dont have an answer to this yet and probably wont because I plan on phasing my older machines out.

Suggest pulling the wheel hubs off and make sure all his clean and the braking system is working right. Change the pads if you havent in awhile.

Glad we could help.

Very cool. The CDI is solid state so once it dies its dead. Probably something in the unit came loose. The Clymer manual has good testing procedures for it. That yours is intermittent is a bit odd. Id still double check your connections.

The pic below is a 93KQ Im tearing down. The connector shroud to the left is crammed full of mud. I just wonder if yours is clean and secure.

Do you have Ebay in the land of Auz? Usually a good source of used parts for me.

To start check for loose connections and wire damage in the charging and ignition system. Sounds like an intermittent problem. When it is running, does your battery have higher voltage? If so, indicates the charging system is working.

Dont see any on this website. Should be able to find one on Ebay.

Ebay search. This in the UK:

Suzuki LT50 Kids Quad 6 in 1 Owner Service Manual s Free Post 1989 2006 L K | eBay

You have hydraulic brakes on this?

Are you sure its a LT50 or a 91? The last LT50 made according to Bike Bandit parts data base was 1987. Went to mygreenmanuals.com and nothing there either. Though Im not sure about UK models. Can you post the vin num?

Sounds like you are on the right track with the problem though. Simple cable drum brake setup.

What year is the 4 wheeler?

Tried searching the forum to no avail. I remember reading something about a kit to hook to your battery that has wires hanging out for easy access to charge it. Anyone know the actual description and brand names for these things?

Yep cool site. The wires are for a horn installation I think.

Good to hear and glad it helps. Yes, hi-temp RTV is used on the head cover. No gasket here. Do the valves first then give it a crank. Might be all you need.

The wheeler I blogged about is AFU now. My kids sunk it a couple times and sucked mud into it. Rings are shot. Timing chain stretched, clanking noise in rear gear box, and so on. Im tearing into it now to assess damage. Might part it out.
