Hey, I juss bought two suzuki lt250 1986 quadsport. The one bike runs but need carb adjustments and new kill switch, the other bike is in peices for parts i paid 250 for everything i also got a helment. Is that a good deal?Also i need help with starting it iam new to atv so kinda confused........Its a kick start so kinda a pain in the butt, can anyone tell me what the starter limiter does and how should i have my choke when i start it, etc.

please help
ty

 

if you paid 250 for everything you got a great deal. im not up on the lt250 but as for starting if its cold then the choke should be all the way on

 

thankyou, when you mean on havve the choke in all the way

 

if I remember right the choke lever moves in and out, in is off and out is full choke

 

Well, the 1986 QuadSPORT was a 230cc 4 stroke. The LT250(R) was a 2 stroke, also called the Quadracer. If you have the former, there should be a small lever up on the handlebars that operates the decompression feature. IIRC, you slowly kick the engine over until it gets to the hardest part(Top Dead Center), press the decompression lever and again slowly kick until the lever pops back up. Then let the kickstart lever back up to the top and give 'er a good kick. Or if you are a man, just get it to TDC and kick without using the decomp. Best to be wearing a steel shank boot this way though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] If you have the Quadracer, then just get it to TDC and give it a sharp kick. If mine doesn't start right up, I usually just give it a few quick, sharp kicks in a row starting from TDC. Both the sport and just about every racer I have ever ridden liked the throttle cracked just a touch when kicking over.

 

Thank you very much, great help. do i have to mess with the starter limiter tho?and i think my carb needs adjustments i have the manual but iam clueless to almost everything execpt the 2 turns out screw

 

I have no clue what a "starter limiter" is. Can you descriibe it in better detail? Where it is located/what it looks like? Also, which machine do you have, the 2 or 4 stroke?

 

The starter limiter (thats what the manual says it is) is on the other side of the carb from the choke lever,its like a lil cicrcle *** that you could push in and pull out like a quater inch.When i move the choke up and down and push the starter limiter in i could feel the starter limiter make the choke now not able to go all the way down,its a 4 stroke


i cant thank you guys anof
