[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]Hey I just bought a 1992 suzuki lt250r and its not idleing very well. If i let off the gas at all it pretty much dies out after like 2 seconds, what do you think I have to do to get it runnin better? thanks to any one who replies.

 

adjust the screw on the side of the carb out to get the idle to come up a little.
start the quad, and then adjust it until it starts idling right

 

alright il give it a try il have to look at the manual to see were that screw exactly is. thanks alot il let you know if it works.

 

yeah let me know, if that doesn't work i have a few more ideas

 

cool thanks so much this is my first quad and its quite the quad to learn on! im about to print the manula info and try out what you said later today il let you know what happens thanks again.

 

well it worked thanks alot i just adjusted the carb turned it out and that pretty much did it, i also adjusted the cable play and that helped. Thanks in the manual says the engine should idle at 1 400 r/min how do i listen for that and judge it. I just set it to where i though it should sound.

 

also i have a slow leak coming from the gasket, where the exhaust pipe goes into the engine, its leaking a dark liquid maybe excess oil? its kinda thick not sure what it is, what do you think?
