    Joe, when you start things up, let it idle for a while before you rev it to the moon. Also, nothing will start without choke, unless it's 100 degrees outside. And don't open the throttle while the choke is on, it defeats the purpose of the choke, by letting in more air than fuel.

I rebuilt a 2000 model 250 last year and have had a 98 arctic cat bear cat 454, 03 250, and a 2000 300. They’re tanks. Usually buy a four wheeler project to fix up every deer season and then resell at the end of season

  • @micflynn1

    Reason you don't have spark is because your neutral wire that 6-pin connector on a transmission is your gear selection that goes to the lights up on the handlebars there's a neutral wire on it then if it's not connected to relay won't work and you won't get spark and you can electric started either without the neutral wire.

  • @bradensmith888
    @bradensmith888 2 года назад

    Don't forget the oil filter! I'm not sure if you're planning on doing this or not, but if recommend soldering and heat shrinking all those connections you made. Also, those quads are known for eating through shock and a arm bushings - you might want to check yours. Nice work!

Maybe once I get my bike all together again as I'm doing the carbs and everything I will send you pictures of it it is a 1982 gs650 G Suzuki with just a little over 10,000 miles on her originally. Drive shaft bike when I bought it it has a full fairing on it and sissy bar and bags did not come with it the hard Samsonite bags I wish they did but he said he would look for them the guy that sold it to me back in 2011 hahaha anyway my friend I wish you and your family many blessings.
