Hello all
I am new to the forum and would like someone to give me some input on a problem I am having with my 86 trx 350.
It was running ok an seemed to start missing and running rich. The fuel pump and relay are working fine so I rebuilt the carb but didn't see anything that looked really bad. It starts up but you can't get it to accelerate unless you reach in and lift the slide with your finger as you run the throttle. I will take off but still does not really fire clean and crisp. There is no diaphram in the carb upper end to control the slide. After playing with it we started thinking about the ignition system. It almost sounds like it is breaking up, bad coil, cdi ???
Anyone who has some input it would be appreciated.

Thanks
Larry

Is the slide not moving when u push the throttle? From the sounds of it its the carb not ignition. these quads didn't come with cv carbs like the newer ones. Ur slide should be moving when u give it throttle, if not, could be a bad cable, or the cable came unhooked to the slide or maybe even your clip came off the needle jet.

 

oh ya or the screw that connects the slide to the shaft came out or broke
