Hey Brent! When you say you cleaned the carb, to what extent? Can ya give a little info on the beast you're working on. Did you adjust Air fuel? I think I started at 2 whole turns from being seated. Ours sat for a while and float needle needed to be replaced.

Hey TN! She looks tired. Hope to hear some positive news in the near future. Good luck.

Hey TN! Personally I wouldn't run fuel from the tank to the carb if it sat for more than a year. I'd get a new battery and see if she'll crank over acceptably. Then (clean the plug) verify spark with no fuel. Once spark is verified. I'd just use starting fluid to see if it'll run. If it sat for more than a year, I'd go ahead and remove the tank, remove petcock and clean the tank. My buds sat for many years and then he got it to run, but he said it didn't run well. When I took the petcock off there was trash in the area where the petcock is mounted. The petcock itself was crusty inside. I was able to disassemble the petcock and clean it (be careful removing o ring) and did get it to function without any leaks. We purchased a petcock but I'd already cleaned the old one by the time it arrived. Ultimately the carb ended up needing a float valve and thorough cleaning. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for the replies Frank and AJ! I'm new to this kind of stuff, and there's so many brands to choose from with regard to batteries and parts. I'd rather ask here than possibly take to heart a review from someone that just doesn't under stand how to keep a battery charged. But again thank you for helping me out.

Thanks, but I'm too new to the forum to download service manuals yet. A few more post to go.

Hello all! A friend of mine has this particular 4 wheeler. It sat in the garage for about a year, so I redid the carb, cleaned the tank and installed a new petcock. So far, it cranks right away whether its button started or pull started. So I have a couple of questions concerning the carb and air filter. 1. Is this a cvk32 250 or 350 carb? As the air fuel ratio adjustment is different according to a cvk document I read. What's your adjustment setting? 2 whole turns and a 1/8 or 2 whole turns and a 1/2? Comparing the old setting on the carb to the new setting (and where the needle sits now), makes me think it was way off before. 2. The Air filter cover, gasket, air filter and plate element are all missing. So I was thinking of removing the hose that goes to the air box and put one of those K&N style looking filters and be done with it. So my question is.. will I have to readjust Air Fuel screw or just adjust Idle? It's just going to be driven around the neighborhood. Thanks in advance for any info or help. Y'all stay safe out there!
