2004 Sportsman 500HO won 't stay idle in cold weather
hi everyone, i picked up this wheeler this summer and its been working great. Now that we have cold weather (below freezing), it won't idle if i let go of the throttle all the way BUT if i move the throttle 1/8" it works great. Starts right up if i move the throttle just a hair....won't start if i don't move it.
i've attached a few pictures, i believe it has something to do with the throttle...if i stick a piece of paper between the connection, it starts right up and idles fine.
(when i move the throttle an 1/8", its not enough to move the carb cable)
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

You adjust it from under the rubber sleeve on the cable.

If a dealer charged for that,they should have been run out of business! I fixed dozens in pick up truck beds and trailers that they drug into the shop parking lot and didn't so much as get the peoples names in a lot of cases! I just got a big kick out of seeing their reaction to what was wrong! Some just laughed,some were po'd that it was so simple. OPT
