I have a 05 manual eiger 400, 2 weekends ago i put on a hard 170 trail miles and it ran fine, but the next morning i went to start it to go. it would not fire so i check and it had spark, so i opened the air box and it was full of fuel, enough that the air filter was sitting in the gas. drained it out and it fired right up so i thought it was just cause my buddie ran it with the choke on. my wife took the machine last weekend it ran fine Friday, Saturday morning she went to start it and nothing, same deal air box full of gas cleaned it out agian and the machine sat for 3 days went to start it and wouldn't even turn over, like the motor was seized took out the plug and the cylinder was full of gas along with the air box.

I was hoping to get some advice before i tear into it. could it just be bad floats? i've never had any luck messing with carburetors so any advice well help, thanks

 

Go to this link World of Powersports' 2005 Suzuki ATV LT-A400F EIGER 4x4 AUTOMATIC Parts List

Its more likely your needle valve #12 World of Powersports' 2005 Suzuki ATV LT-A400F EIGER 4x4 AUTOMATIC Parts List the floats make that part stop the gas flow, sometimes just a little dirt or stickiness will cause the valve not to shut the gas flow completely.

If your not comfortable with it,just take the carb off and let the dealer fix it up. Better than running the whole ATV down to them.

Odd thing is I guess your float bowl over flow tube goes in your air box? most just let the has go on the ground. If your motor had gas in it then change your oil if it smells like gas.

 

Thank you for the info i will take the carb out, clean it and check the needle valve for wear or damage. again thank you for the advice.
