    Fuel starvation. If it runs better with the choke on it's not getting enough fuel. Could be petcock, fuel line, blockage in the idle circuit, idle jet is stopped up, blockage in the intake before the carb. Several possibilities, most revolve around fuel starvation. Fuel starvation can also be caused by an intake boot on the head side leaking vacuum. 

    Okay I found the issue with the no idle problem. The idle circuit jet was plugged up. I couldn’t get it out to replace it originally when I rebuilt the carb so I just figured it would be okay. 
    I cleaned it out with a welding tip cleaner and now it starts and idles. Thanks everyone for the help it is greatly appreciated.

  2. Follow up to my post. I’m having start and run issues now.  I changed the oil and rebuilt the carb. It isn’t overflowing anymore, but now it won’t idle. It will only fire up with the choke on then it revs real high and dies. Any ideas what could be causing this? 
    Btw, it is gravity fed no fuel pump.I checked the fuel tap and it is working gas flows and stops when shut off.

  3. Hello Everyone, I’m a new guy here as I just acquired 2 atv’s at an auction that need some work.This seems like a great place to get information. Have been searching for help and that’s how I found Quadcrazy. I live in N.E. Ohio and have a little acreage to take care is why I bought the quads..anyways thanks for having me and I’ll be asking lots of questions I’m sure. Haha
