Might be to lean? Check the spark plug and see what color it is. Just my 2 cents, don't know if its right but if the spark plug is white then its too lean.

 

Yep, sounds lean. Check your float level and check for air leaks. Have you played around with your pilot screw also? It affects idle

 

The float level seemed Ok when I had the carb apart. I'll have to start with a base setting on the pilot screw and idle screw and go from there to see if that clears things up a bit. It does have a DG pipe on it but everything else is stock from what I can tell and the guy I bought it from said the carb was still jetted stock.

 

Remember on the float level do it without the needle pin compressed, just slightly resting on the float tang

 

Where can u buy larger jets for lt230s I have looked all over for set vinces cycle is getting away out four wheelers and didn't see any in Dennis Kirk or g&h atv any ideas would be great thanks to all

 

Jets R Us SUZUKI LT230S QUADRUNNER

 

OK I need some advise. I bought a nice HID light for my 230s, but it wouldnt work when I hooked it up. I got to checking, and I'm only reading about 4 volts max on the lighting circuit. The book says to replace either the regulator or the lighting coil, but if the lighting coil is good replace just the regulator. That is real helpful. Anyone know of a way to test the lighting coil so I can narrow it down to which one may be bad?

Thanks

 

Take an ohm meter to the lighting coil wires. I belive there is a link on which wires on the Vault! Please be aware if you go back about 30 pages me and randy had a huge discussion on lighting. The 230s runs off AC while the 230e runs off DC. The 230s puts roughtly 13 volts Ac and a max current draw of roughly 3.5 amps, which puts out about 45 watts. Make sure you don't exceed these ratings. HIDs might have a huge current draw which might end up ruining your coils.

 

Hey guys i got a stock bore wiseco piston, rings, wristpin, clips. Came with a parts quad and i got no use for it anyone that is interested only looking for a few bucks PM me if you want it. Its new in the box

 

I heard the 250s had a beefed lighting coil compared to the 230. Anyone know if you can swap them to try and get some more output out of the system?
