Senator

Thanks Gunny. And thanks for slowing down enough that we could see the scenery!

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, I wanted to balance out all the threads with bikes not starting or running by giving thanks that mine do.

Mornin gang!

do any of you have any tricks of the trade to preventing this problem as my cat does stay parked for long periods at a time, especially during the winter months. Thanks..........................

Ride it more. Sounds like a sarcastic joke but I assure you it's not. Start it up, warm it up and find an excuse to ride it a little...

• 
  take it down the driveway to check the mail
  borrow a cup of sugar from your neighbor
  get a snow plow mounted and keep your driveway plowed
  put a snowmobile suit on the wife and take her out for pizza
  

Seriously though, finding reasons to start and run the quad is really the easiest way around the winter fuel challenges. Running the quad more often will also prevent you from being that guy asking this question when Spring comes..."Hey guys, I let my quad sit in the shed for 9 months of winter and now I think the battery is dead. The dealer said it'll be $90 for a new one...can this be right?"

By the way, yes, that's right.

It's morning in China...Good Morning China!

The fast idle could be from fooling with the air screw to compensate for the additional fuel. Quadnut hit it on the head with the two turns comment. If it won't start, idle and run clean with the air screw approx two turns then one or more of the circuits (choke, pilot, main) is ill-adjusted to the needs of that engine. Start there.

Yeah it's good to have more 2 stroke folks around :coolgleamAc:

Welcome aboard dude

That sounds wrong !!

I know it sounds wrong. Did you read the ad? I did...three times and I still can't figure out how I'm readin it wrong?

Can someone help me?

2 complete Blasters and three rebuilt engines for $25?

Good morning

This post was deleted bcause I'm sure he's saying that!

No Cheriah, it's not Mt Hood. That's Mt. Thielsen, near Diamond Lake. Same mountain range, but a little south from Mt. Hood!

I needed full choke just to get home!

I'm a 2stroke guy so jetting carbs is second nature to me while 4stroke stuff like valves, cams, and unnecessary electronics I tend not to be well versed in. I'll try to help where I can though.

Full choke should be giving it a great deal more fuel than it can handle, especially after you've been riding it awhile. If it's running well with the choke on:

...another circuit in the carb may be restricted and the choke is making up for it, or...

...the jetting is too lean and the additional fuel supplied by the open choke circuit is required to make up for it, or...

...it could be some 4 stroke thing that someone else will have to chime in about

Thanks for sharing those, it's beautiful where you live. So cool that you can share this with your bros and all the ladies

That Grizzly of yours is a coveted option by many. Is there a reason you don't want that one?

Nice truck man. And congrats on your expanding family! :cheers2c:

Yes, pics are a must

Here are a few teasers from our last snow trip

They do a great job with this one and the one they do in May every year. Last year there were four courses...

1. an ADVANCED course that only motorcycles could physically fit through

2. an INTERMEDIATE course for ATVs and MCs

3. a BEGINNER course that challenged no one but was great for families with very young children

4. a mountain bike course that I don't know anything about

Its called a wife !:realmad:I have the same problem

There are ways around that problem.
