How to know for sure. Dear ATVC: My Suzuki King Quad 700 runs rough when cold then won’t start sometimes (but not often when it’s hot). And it occasionally smokes a lot when it’s cold.

The previous owner states it’s always been that way and not to worry about it. My daughter rode it for about 2 hours total, […] More »
