Engine Starting and Adjustments
Now you are ready to turn the fuel and choke on and try starting the engine.
Once the engine is running it should be warmed up for five to ten
minutes, then the carburetor can be adjusted if needed. The ATV
is set up at the factory at sea level so if your at a higher altitude
then there are a few things you can do to help lean out the
mixture to help keep it running at peak performance. First try
adjusting the fuel screw on the side of the carb (see picture left).
To do this start by turning the fuel screw all the way in (clock
wise) and then backing it out (turning the screw counter clock
wise) two turns. Adjust the idle down to around 1400-1500 RPM,
you will need to balance between the fuel and idle screw This
will take some time, but is the best way to set the engine up for
peak performance. With the engine running depress the throttle
all the way down slow and steady, the engine should not stumble and die if it does you need to
keep turning on the two screws. You know it is properly set when there is only a slight hesitation
then the engine accelerates to a high RPM.
Advanced Carburator Adjustment
Remove the fuel tank to get to the top of the carburetor and remove the top retaining nut and
remove the slide assembly (see picture left).
Compress the spring and remove the cable from the
slide assembly. On the inside of the slide there is a
retaining clip that holds the main fuel needle in the
bottom of the slide (see picture below). By carefully
pushing up on the needle the retaining clip should
come to the top but, make sure not to loose the clip as
it will be reinstalled after the adjustments have been
made. There are five different slots that the c-clip can
be placed (see picture). By moving the clip up away
from the tip this will lean out the mixture, if you move the clip down closer to the tip this will
richen up the mixture. After the adjustment reinstall the needle in the slide assembly and the
retaining clip, use a screw driver to push the retaining clip to the bottom of the slide. Reinstall
the cable and spring into the slide and reinstall the assembly back into the carburetor the slide
assembly will only go into the carb one way so do not force it down; reinstall the fuel tank on the
ATV.
