After a lot of carb attention, I finally got my 88 300TRX FW to start and run very well. However, I still have one strange problem that puzzles me. . .

My ATV starts easily and idles nicely. It also does great under throttle. However, if I sitting at idle, or moving very slowly and turn the handlebars hard to the left, the ATV will die. This only happens when I turn hard to the left.

My first instinct is that I am causing some kind of electrical short, however, I can prevent it from stalling by giving it a little bit of throttle. Since it can be prevented with a little more throttle, it causes me to eliminate an electrical issue. That then makes it a fuel issue. But how in the world could turning my handlebars hard left cause any fuel issue. I can see no connection at all unless I am by chance pinching a critical vacuum line. Is that possible?

Your input is appreciated!

Thanks,
Jason

 

Check the throttle and choke cable fo free movement on hard lefts.

 

You got it!

The choke cable is binding and pulling at the hard left position. I guess I need to reroute it a little.
