It's nice to get it to start on the second kick[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Almost feel spoiled[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but spoiled would be having a electric starter[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Would I be right[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] to assume that, with the quad starting on the second kick[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] that I'm pretty close on the carb set up, other then it not idling?

I was just out there, spraying some carb cleaner around. Didin't find anything that would lead me to believe I had a leak[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Did find a thread last night, that mentioned the throttle cable might be to tight. This could also be part of the problem, due to taking the carb off and disconnecting the throttle cable. Was tinkering around with it. Then burnt my hand on HOT exhaust pipe[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] So, now, I'm letting it cool down a little.

Sounds stupid, but try pulling the filter and plugging the hose, and see if it makes any difference. Now that you mention the cable I wonder if the slide is sticking a little. Does turning handlebars lock to lock change the idle? if no I would think cable is cool. Stillcould pull off topof carb and check slide travel. Wouldnt take much to make it sticky.

Yes you are close. Does it make a difference if the choke is on or not?

Sounds like you need to completely rejet the bike, from top to bottom. Start with a fresh plug and go. As it is, you are looking at the plug the way it was. You'll probably need to go up a jet across the board: Main and Pilot. The "choke" on my Warrior is an enrichning circuit. I would assume your carb is like that. Puts more fuel into it. With no air box you are now flowing a LOT of air, and need to flow a LOT of fuel to compensate. You need a 14:1 ratio of 02 to Gas.
Here's a good one guys. Listened to the radio report. Snow level to 3,000ft today. Fish Camp (higher than Miami) got like 20". Not sure what Miami got. Definately have to take a drive this weekend. LJ....get the Jeep, chains and chainsaw.... we might need it. Forecast is for 70s next week so hopefully any snow will be melted off. Partly cloudy this weekend.

plug sounds ok to me. does the idle surge or just kind of float around? Or will in just not hold a idle at all and die? You just cleaned the carb right? How old is the plug? How long would it take to put back on the stock filter/box?
