i just traded out a garden tractor for this 400 atv ,lady has not rode it since last march, and could not get it to idle down to put it in gear, i talked to my atv wannabe specialist, he says no big deal,we can fix it.that was two weeks ago. so far i have drained the tank,and cleaned.w/new gas it will only start w/full choke or 1/2 choke,no matter how cold the motor is,or how warm it is. took the carb apart, and cleaned it good,blew out all openings, and checked the floats to make sure they were riding good. back together. started it and same problem,had my son hold the engine speed as even as possible. i sprayed carb cleaner around carb,and found that by the oil inj. fitn. it seemed to rev higher,tried to just barly snug this 10mm fitting and it seemed like it wanted to slip around,tried to loosen , and that worked just fine, but when i try to sung it, it seems to slip,could this be my big problem, and is there an easy fix or buy a new reed body, thanks,rusobr2 ( steven )
