Hey, not sure if everyone knows this or not but if you follow this link to the Polaris website, and register. You can download your owners manual. This Official 2000 Polaris Xplorer 250 400 Factory Service Manual provides detailed service information, step-by-step repair instruction and maintenance specifications for 2000 Xplorer 250 and 400 ATV models.
I have a 2000 suzuki king quad lt-f300f that i picked up as a project bike. It didnt run well when it was parked outside 5 years ago. It cranked after putting fresh gas - but would not run below half throttle, i took apart the carb, cleaned debris, and re-assembled. I suspect that the pilot needle is sheared off - it never protrudes into the throttle body through the pinhole. Now to get the bike to ALMOST idle, the throttle idle adjustment knob is all the way up/in. The pilot needle is turned almost all the way in/up (if i understand correct, it should nominally be out 2 1/4 turns or so). And like i said, it will ALMOST idle.
Floods easily, rides rough. Wanted to hear from those more experienced than me with suzukis - and im self-taught atv repair, so dont laugh too hard if my verbiage/part names is way off. Facing the driver's side of the bike US there are three hoses on this side of the carb. Without a service manual or way of knowing what was messed up before i got it, i think i have them right: front hose as a vacuum to the petcock, middle hose as vacuum to the fuel pump, rear hose as fuel line from the fuel pump. Running the bike in prime position results in flooding even while riding. With all hoses disconnected from the carb, fuel slowly drips from the vacuum line connected to the petcock. So just my speculation is that the diaphragm in the petcock is split, and the pilot needle is broke off - causing my inability to not quite idle and the rough ride.

This suzuki is hoses and cables everywhere compared to the honda ranchers and yamaha warriors i am used to. I would like to have a plan rather than: replace everything at once.
Is my speculation on the right track, or could something else be at play? Say, if the compression was non-existent, would that cause non-idling? I am all ears, look forward to the input. I traded my dirt bike for a 2000 arctic cat 500 semi automatic. When i went to go pick it up the guy said it didn't get spark, so i thought it was going to be something simple like a coil. Well it wasn't.
First thing i did was take all the plastics off to get easy asses to every thing. So i bought a brand new battery for it seeing if it got power, it didn't. The dash wouldn't light up neither would the lights, so then i tried to see if the starter worked it didn't so i jumped the solenoid and the starter started turning over the motor. So i bought a new starter solenoid, when i installed it the electric start still wouldn't work, so i bought a new kill switch and starter switch that goes on the handle bars, when i installed it, the electric start still wouldn't work. So then i went to see if i could get spark by pull starting it, i didn't get any spark, so i bought a new spark plug, and guess what, still no spark, so then i bought a new coil for it to see if that would fix it.
So i installed the new coil and guess what no spark still and still no power to the dash. So to sum it up i'm not getting any power any where to the four wheeler. So i cleaned all the leads and plugs and still nothing.
So then yesterday i took the wiring apart to see if their was any frayed wires, and no their wasn't. Does any one have any ideas what this could be i'm up for anything. Also if any one knows how to bypass all the wiring just to get it to start i open to that to, or if someone knows where i can get a wiring diagram. I have recently purchased a yamaha kodiak ultramatic 400cc. It is used and sat outside for a long time. I have done a lot of work on it and got it to run sort of.

When i try to start it, it will start and run for a little bit then it will die, the time it runs varies. It has a new cdi, spark plug, and stator. Most of the time it wont even start it just cranks over.
There was one time that it started up right away and ran perfectly but the next time i tryed it wouldnt start. Before that one time every time it started and ran it had a popping sound.
I cant figure out why it wont run. Any help would be muchly appreciated!
