Need Some Help. My 4 Stroke 4x4 Puke!


Recommended Posts

I posted this here due to it not being a banshee, and I hate being a "it won't start, help" guys, didn't figure I'd ever be here like this. <_<

 

My '01 LTF500F Suzuki Quad Runner 500 will not start. It's always been a finicky starter, and it's always seemed to be on the rich side getting it started, and I have fouled a plug or two in the last year.

 

Alright. I have plenty of spark. The plug seems to have gas on it, it smells like gas and is wet with gas. The air filter is freshly cleaned. I went from removing the snorkle, to lid, then to air filter all together. I've tried to start it with carb cleaner, no go. What the ##()$&%&@() else do I need to do.

 

This pisses me off so freaking bad, I'm not an idiot and I know how to work on these freaking pukes. I basically figure this is what I need:

  • Spark
  • Fuel
  • Air

and I have these things, so why isn't it starting??

 

The specs say it is a Mikuni BST 34mm carb. I'm not too familiar with Mikuni, does that sound legit, or is there actually a different part name for that style of carb. It has the flat top on it, not the threaded cap. Once I get it started, I'm going to rejet this pig, but I need to damn thing started.

 

I'm about to take every bolt out of this thing and leave it on the garage floor in a million pieces.

 

Later. :angry:
