Hi i own a 1986 suzuki 230 quadsport and when i ride it for about 10 minutes or more it will shut off when i stop. Then it is freakin torture to get started, i checked my plug, and air filter and they are fine. Can anyone give me some advice?

 

check your idle and air/fuel and/or how old is the gas?

 

oK I WILL , THANX ALOT

 

sell it and buy a HONDA lol

 

Yeah you know i was thinking about it but i decided that i wanted a good quad so i went with suzuki.lol j k

 

Dude,
make sure you are getting gas to the carb. Try on and reserve on the fuel shutoff. Sometimes the intake screen on the petcock gets clogged with junk from inside the tank. Drain your float bowl on you carb, clean your air filter. When you bike shuts down check for spark right away. If it is weak it may be your stator heating up and causing a short i9n the windings. yeah baby!
