New sub I love your video I thought I was the only kid that works on stuff and welds it helped me only I cant get mine apart I got it for 375 and it bugs down on acceleration
Very nice. Another thing that can cause similar bogging is a poor seal at the output side of the carb on the intake “manifold” This will cause decreased vacuum pressure, and your mid-range jet will not respond as it should.
The old Kawasaki Lakota I bought used has been doing this since I got it, thanks for the advice. Next time I get a chance I'm gonna check the float height, I'll let ya know how it goes!
Al, good job! Also get you A JIS screwdriver and you won’t ever have issues stripping those carb screws. JIS is the Japanese measuring system which will fit all your Japanese Powersports perfectly?
@@outdoorswithal8551 ... Great thanks. I took my carb off and opened the bowl and found two needles and the screw had come out. I put it back together and had to adjust the idle. Seems to have solved the problem. Not sure how they came loose. I'll try the float adjustment if needed.
Your petcock should have a prime setting. Let it run on that for a little. Another way is turn petcock to On and hold the gas tank vent hose and that will pressurize your system as well.
Another cause to this issue is the choke being engaged. Mine is so worn and faded that you can’t see any indicators on the lever. I never use it either, but occasionally I’ll drive with a ladder or something propped on the handle bars and it will engage the choke without me realizing it.
Yo al thinks we got the Arctic cat with quad runner engine was hard to start adjusted valves starts good was gonna put rebuild kit in carb but you took guess work out lol
I bet the first time you removed the carburetor it wasn’t in 10min and wasn’t so easy as you try to make it look. In fact all the other RUclipsrs that attempt to remove these carburetors have a different opinion. They pretty much unanimously agree that they can be difficult. I tend to agree with them. But other than that you did a pretty good job with your video.
The first time I removed the carb on my 250 quad runner. I had a heck of a time removing the air box. The carb was rather simple but that air box, dang! I didn’t put it back in had to remove the back plastics to get at 2 bolts. The hard part is putting that boot from the carb to the air box on. I made a little jig out of ABS pipe that loops around no more air box. Easy as pie now.
what you need to do is take a drill bit that's a little bit bigger than the head of the screw and drill of the head be carful and do not drill to far down or hit the side wall of the float bowl and once you have drilled of the head remove the float bowl and take a pare of vice grips and remove the end of the screw. I will make a video this evening on one of my spare carbs.
I always replace carb bowl screws with either Allen or hex head screws. Get rid of those Phillips unless you get a set of JIS screw drivers. The screws are JIS standard and not like Phillips. That's why they always strip out. Keep at it.
Love when a kid teaches you how to fix something you been spending weeks to figure out
Good job kiddo you thought an old dog a new trick I'm going to have to start calling you Big Al now👏👏👏
Nice job kid! I'm impressed! It took me alot of studying and experience to learn this stuff and your a young one.. Keep it up little man! Lol
I appreciate it!
Dude is so cool. Keep posting, you may have solved my suzuki problems!
YOU HAVE AN INCREDIBLY BRIGHT FUTURE!!!! i cant wait to brag about being you 331st subscriber !

what do you mean you cant get yours apart

thank you for that advise i will remember it.
@@outdoorswithal8551😊😅.ok
Great video this kid knows what he is doing thanks kid
Appreciate the video. This helped a lot, keep up the good work.
Miss you goat💔

Good job Al thanks,😊
Keep it up man, new sub

Nice job thanks for the video and information
No problem 👍
Good video. Well done.
Hi someone deleted the fuel pump on my 1991 quad 250 any idea where I can get a diagram for fuel and carb venting. Thanks
How do I prime the carb after I run out of gas?
I think I am having this problem with my quad so thanks for your video. New Sub also
well I just take off the air filter and squirt some gas and keep it running on the gas until it runs on its own.
@@outdoorswithal8551 ... Great thanks. I took my carb off and opened the bowl and found two needles and the screw had come out. I put it back together and had to adjust the idle. Seems to have solved the problem. Not sure how they came loose.

@@Samestori214probably it loosened out over time by vibration

Blow hard into gas tank to prime. Idk but it worked for me
I have a very similar 99 but it a king quad and it does the same thing and it won’t idle.
all the carbs are just about the same so just do what i did
Smart guy thanks

PS: I never use the choke because that machine is indestructible. It always starts, no matter how cold (in VA).

Thanks Kid I will try that 👍
Thanks for the help
Thanks for the Tip !

what do you mean you cant get yours apart
The screws are all striped they were before I got it any way to get them out
yes i had that problem and i have a solution but its kind of risky although i had to do it off camera
what you need to do is take a drill bit that's a little bit bigger than the head of the screw and drill of the head be carful and do not drill to far down or hit the side wall of the float bowl and once you have drilled of the head remove the float bowl and take a pare of vice grips and remove the end of the screw.

Ok I will watch it thx

Was it too high or too low in the bowl?
I believe it was to low. I cant really remember.
