Ltz400 03 model help
Hi guys, I have had an issue since day one on this quad, can't seem to get it to idle for over a few min before it quits. If I higher the idle it will run but don't like it. Here is what I have done so far, dynojet kit, cleaned out stuck choke, it starts cold now just fine, after it warms up it dies. I swapped out the petcock for a raptor model as it just kept flowing gas in any position. Replaced float needle and seat as it was flowing fuel with float closed. I do notice that when I place my finger over the vacuum tube that is open along side the air inlet tube it revs up, I didn't think that sucked that much air as it's open to any debris dirt that may enter. Checked for vacuum leaks and to my knowledge non are present. It's just a strange thing.... But thought maybe someone has had the same issue. Fan comes on and I notice the engine idles lower as well. Idling issue was present before I touched it, just thought the kit would fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, just bought this quad a couple a months ago and haven't really got to ride it since.

If you are not using the vac tube it has to be blanked off. If you have re-set the carb to suit it with the tube open, you will have to set it up again. Some machines do tend to cut out after idling a while, I put it down to wear in the carb, but why leave an engine ticking over? It is just getting hot and using fuel.

Yes I have the vacuum plugged on the carb. Yes I have done the jetting per dynojet instructions. What do you mean by leaving ticking? I have had many quads over the last 15 years but purchased new, this is the first used one I have purchased and beginning to realize why the new purchases are better..... I have had this model before but not the problem. I just don't know why after it warms up it won't idle.... I cleaned out the pilot jet as well. Now that I think about it, I may pull the air mixture screw out and make sure that is clear as well.

Ticking over must be a UK term it is to leave idling. I never alter carbs etc, from stock, the makers spend a lot of time getting each model "right." How much time and manpower can a firm like dynojet, who make tuning parts for upteen makes and models, spend on each one?
