  1. Make of winch ?.... Are there 3 wires going to the winch motor? . .If so , one ( usually black) would be the ground wire and the other two would be forward and reverse. You should be able to find the wiring diagram for your winch online. My guess would be to try 12 volts to each terminal ( red and Yellow) To see if the winch motor runs in either direction . To see if there is output from the solenoid , simply disconnect the wires from the winch motor and hook up a tester or light to each of the wires and try the solenoid switch in either direction. Power at either of the wire terminals would indicate a problem in the winch motor, and that is usually solved with a new set of brushes .
  2. My only remaining guess is the starter circuit relay. If that isn't it, I'm beat. After you mentioned that disconnecting the kill switch nothing worked, I went back to the wiring diagram again. It doesn't show the configuration in the run state, so I can't guess what is open and closed. Obviously from what you said , the kill switch must be closed rather than open as I thought. I see the starter switch also connects to the igniter ( CDI box). If the starter circuit relay isn't the culprit, that would only leave the CDI box , and that is an expensive box to replace. It looks like it may be time to bite the bullet and see a Kawasaki mechanic . I've exhausted my guesses and without being able to physically get to it with a meter and service manual , I'm beat.
  3. I'd gladly send you the snow we got, and there's more coming .. Normally here in the Fraser Valley we only get a dusting of snow a couple of times each winter. 2 inches paralyses them here ........ and we have over 2 feet of it and strong winds drifting it.
  4. I seldom drink any hard stuff. Rye & 7 or Baccardis & 7 if offered at hr neighbours .. Not a fan of coke or Pepsi here .. I do like making home made liquors to see how close I can come to the liquor store offerings at considerable savings and a couple you don't see in the liquor stores here. The internet is fabulous for searching for recipes to try. My main beverage year round is plain black coffee. I enjoy a cold beer on a hot day, and much prefer our Canadian brands over the offerings from south of the line. Cold and sniffles times call for hot lemonade.. Spiking optional.

  6. Start by making sure it has spark. A compression check would also be a good idea to make sure valves are not sticking open. If it seems to have good compression and spark, it's time to pull the carb off again and recheck everything. Make sure the gas is actually flowing from the tank to the carb. You can use some "Canned air" like they use to blow dust of of computer towers to blow through the passages in the carb. After cleaning the jets , start by setting the screws for the needle valves about 1 1/2 turns out from closed and adjust out or in from there about 1/8 to 1/4 turn if the motor tries to run, or starts and runs rough. Intermittent or no spark could be a problem with the stator, pickup coil, CDI box or ignition coil.

  8. The kill switch should be open, not jumpered. .Disconnect the kill switch and do not join the wires together (no connection between wires or contacts, "open", connection between wires "closed") . The kill switch needs to be open for the motor to run.
  9. Check the engine stop switch to see if it is stuck on, and also trace the wires. We may have misled you on the relay.. There are two of them. One is the starter circuit relay and the other is the starter relay itself.. If it is the relay , it will be the starter circuit relay. If that is the one you replaced, check the engine stop switch. According to the schematic it should be open when the engine is running. Closing it opens the ignition circuit and kills the engine. Holding in the start button feeds power to the ignition circuit until you release the button.
  10. If it starts and revs fine for a second and then sputters , it is starving for fuel. You need to service the carb. There is a vacuum piston/ diaphragm on it that may be damaged or leaking. The high speed jet could be plugged or one of the passages . If it sat for a long time with old fuel in the carb, it is most likely badly gunked up.

  12. The problem could be a failing spark plug. Fires ok under idle but fails as soon as a load is put on it. If it is in the carb, you could try turning in the pilot screw to closed , then back it off 1 1/2 turns ad try it .. Try screwing the screw in and out from there as fartknocker suggests. Here is a link to a service manual that will also apply to your quad. https://www.quadcrazy.com/files/category/4-suzuki-atv/ Under the browse / download button at the top of the forum are links to service manuals and other useful info for members.

  14. I can hold my own in a debate, but if someone wants to get nasty , I also know how to ignore them.. LOL.. Sledding , quad riding , bikes, trikes or boats... all are open to discussion for those that want to.... and the hunting and fishing that goes along with the riding... Anyway , can't fight if nobody comes in there to start one. Gotta admit . .Haven't been sledding since moving back to the coast from the north... Sleds don't run too well for long on wet grass...That's all we normally have here in winter.
  15. Do any others on here regularly check the chat room when they log in ? If you do and hang in there while browsing the posts you might get into a live chat with one or more other members here.
  16. Gay or not, it'd likely be a blast to drive.
  17. Religion has nothing to do with morality. Your premise is false.
  18. I am a member of neither party too. I am Canadian, and I am not a member of any of our parties here either. Don't confuse going to church or proclamations of being Christian with honesty or any of the social mores Jesus preached. Most of what He preached of social responsibilities to His fellow man are dismissed as that evil socialism by right wing "Christians". I'll leave it to your fellow Americans to point out the voter suppression in varying degrees in their states. Some of the most evil men in history have claimed to be Christian, and some of the people who most followed the social mores preached by Christ were atheists. When you look at the basic tenets of all the religions , you'll find out they all are basically the same. The rituals of the "Big Three" (Jewish, Christian and Moslem) all pray to the same God, but with different rituals, and their basic values are the same.. It is only in how the Scriptures of each are interpreted and applied with cultural influence that you see much difference. It is only when you see the extremists and hypocrites in each of them do you see those religions corrupted into what they are not.
  19. Have you tried seeing what mainstream sites say about voter fraud?.... and of those convicted of fraud, how many were Dems and how many were GOP? Any fraud committed would not be from only one side. Voter fraud, of which I also consider voter suppression a part of, is far more in the bailiwick of the GOP than the Dems .
  20. If they find any significant voter fraud , I would contend it would be on the part of ERW conservatives , and should nullify the election .. Unfortunately there is nothing in the US Constitution to mandate a redo of an election no matter how badly it was compromised. You are stuck with Trump and his "team" for 4 years . . You can impeach , but those down the line of succession from him don't really offer any improvement. The fact is , even if they find voter fraud , there is no way of telling who the fraudsters supported, so my contention it was done by Conservatives is just as valid , and I believe moreso than by "Liberals "
  21. LOL Randy .. That's some "alternate facts" that site uses to describe the fall of Rome. There were several factors that led to Rome's downfall, but none of them had anything to do with feminism or effeminism . . LOL... I would suggest some real study of history, and you won't find any of it on those sites you seem to like to hang out on for your information. If you really study ancient civilizations you'll find several advanced for the time ones that were supplanted by Rome, and that Rome was supplanted by a ruler that had a much larger empire at its peak that was not based on civilization and knowledge, but on pure brutal military power.
  22. I found the wiring diagram for your Kawasaki online . The ignition switch works through the starter relay, so as quadmaniac says, it is most likely a faulty starter relay.. As long as you hold the starter button you are getting ignition power as well as starter run but releasing the button does not allow power to continue going to the ignition circuit.
  23. Usually when adjusting the screws on carbs from automobiles to snowmobiles , ATVs and even the older lawn mower and trimmers ,the starting point is 1 1/2 to 2 turns out from closed.. Glad you found the problem and it was an easy fix. Thanks for letting us know .
  24. Water in the case will make the belt slip, but if you have a few hundred hours on the belt I would say the slippage is more due to belt wear.. As the clutches drive on the sides of the belt, they wear it narrower and glaze it . The narrowing and glazing reduces the grip the clutches have on the belt. Not only does that increase slippage , but it reduces both the top speed and low speed pulling power.
  25. Now time will tell if I get to say "I told you so".. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and he proves to be a good President, but to say I'm skeptical would be putting it very mildly.
