I just put a Niche carb on a Bayou 220. What a difference from the other China carb that was on it. It would not idle before. And that was a new carb My Son put on. Now it idles good and runs like a whole different quad. Much faster. I'm impressed especially for $29. I'm impressed!

I have seen a lot of YouTube videos that demonstrate what Your saying. A lot of carbs and rebuild kits seem to be somewhat compatible but not fully. That's why My preference is the original Makuni. I Love the knowledge sharing in this site! And I appreciate the info!

Thanks Gentlemen! I will give those ideas a try! I definitely prefer the stock Makuni over the Chinese aftermarket. I read that Niche carbs are decent. However finding one for this application appears to be difficult.

That was actually My plan. I was going to order a rebuild kit for the original Makuni. I have tried every bit I can find for the screws on the float bowl. It's between a 2.5 &3 mm. I tried all My fractional ones too.

Hello there I'm having a problem finding a quality carburetor for a 1993 Suzuki Quad Runner lt-f 250 2x4. I find a lot that have 3-4 star ratings. And all so far don't have the right throttle Cable inlet at the top. The last one I got 4 star on Amazon has a threaded cable sheath rest that could be partially drilled to work. I would prefer to get one I don't have to modify. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Riding is a awesome way of life 2 or 4 wheels! At 60-70+ years old in the dirt I like 4 wheels Myself. I'm leaving the two wheels to those young rubber men that still bounce when they hit the ground! I just lay there thinking DAM This is gonna hurt for awhile! Lol

I have wondered about these parts too. Thanks for the info !

Howdy! And Welcome. This is the place!

Hello and welcome. I'm pretty new here too. Only been here for a few weeks. I have already learned a few things here. It's a good forum.

I have heard of torching the plastic, not rehydrating with armor all. It makes sense though. I also just learned of the boiled linseed oil on YouTube. You can also cut small pieces of plastic, mix them with acetone. The acetone melts the small pieces of plastic. Then You can use it to fill voids and cracks.

I first road My Sons Bayou 220 in Aug of 21. I tore all the tendends in my rotator cuff and ripped My bicep coming down from a jump. Had surgery to repair My shoulder in the spring off 22. I know own two quads and am looking for a third! Even pain and agony can't keep Me away!

I just had a Suzuki lt 230 quad runner do pretty much the same thing. Riding and bouncing around stirred up junk in the gas tank. I flushed it and it was fine for a couple weeks. Started doing it again , so I flushed the tank again and got more junk out of it. This time I put a inline filter in it. No more issues.

You can use transmission fluid in the spark plug hole also if You don't have the PB or Marvel mystery oil. A once or two should be plenty. The marvels is great stuff for the gas and crank case when running as maintenance too!

Those big smiles are definitely worth it! My Wife says I have that smile every time I ride! I can feel it in My bones! $20 is nothing compared to the feeling of finding and fixing the thing and then riding it! There is something about bringing a great old machine back to life. Enjoy the time with Your Son!
