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.
