I just got mine fired up today. She was only running in the choke lever in the carb pulled out and choked on the handle.

It settled down and I was able to close the choke on the carb but still needed it to be choked on the handle (1/2 the movement than with the choke pulled on the carb).

It couldn’t find the pilot screw setting till later in the evening and for mine GE shaft model 2-3/8 turns. I did clean the carb earlier and made sure everything was clean and cleared. I’m hoping the issue was due to pilot a screw.

Next up will be valve adjustment and I’ll report more.

I’m on the same path with a new to me 85’ LT230GE. I plan on sharing anything I come across. 

I just picked up a 85’ LT230GE Quadrunner and will share this info once I tear into mine.

I’ll be going over mine 85’ LT230GE and share any troubleshooting fixes I do on mine. Currently doesn’t run but turns over.

I’ve seen searching and cross referencing Amazon, eBay for parts for mine. 85’ LT230GE

Running the fuel selector on the lower one won’t hurt anything until you get the new one. I see assemblies are available. I would replace the whole petcock and see what happens.

I’ve thought about this many times and for me pointed down towards the ground is best.

I have a two bank battery Tender for the last ten years and it works great.

I would bet the stator is an issue when it get warm.

I also just picked up a 85’ LT230 and the rear drum appears to be locked. Hoping to tear into it soon. I’ll share any info I get when I tear into the front.

I’ve done several and buy is better and easier. My favorite is High Lifter and I’ve done them on the 500s, 700s, 450/570s and RZR 570 and 800s.

My first quad was a barn find 1999 Polaris Sportsman 4x4 I picked up for $100. That caused a cascading event and now my friends have spent 10s of $1000s and we as a group have many quads and side by sides.
