Choke issue on a 1995 425 magnum

I am a ATV mechanic and I have put a new head on this magnum because the customer blew out the threads for the spark plug. I have timed it to specs, cleaned the carb and checked everything for ware or damage and set the choke cable to specs as well. It fires up perfectly and will run but then all of a sudden it acts like it's going into choke mode with the choke off. The exhaust is so rich I have to open the door to let out the funes from the exhaust. I checked the override to see if it might be causing it but it's not that. I've done everything to the book but still no resolve. Any hints out here to help me?

SOURCE: 330 Magnum bogs down.

NO! Check the boot between the carb and engine. Very common problem for aged rubber is non-visual cracks. Pull it off and check the boot by kneeding it and looking at it under a light.

SOURCE: carb has been cleaned started

one of your jets is fully or parially clogged. Remove the carb, remove the bowl from the card, then remove the jets. Spray compressed air through the holes and clean with carb cleaner. Common problem with old gas. Also clean out any varished gas from the carb bowl

Check the stator which is in on the lower/left side of the engine opposite the belt, also triple check all wiring, it’s got to be something simple.

1997 425 magnum 4x2 new carb,coil,plug,wont rev past halve throttle then sputters no power

Fuel starvation (supply or wrong carb or tune) and/or insufficient or poor quality spark.

Make sure the air filter is clean and only test with it connected as it sometimes makes a lot of difference. It could be worth checking the exhaust for blockages.

My Suzuki Eiger 400 starts hard then once running is great.

The carburetor choke valve might be stuck open or not closing when the engine is cold. The engine needs a richer mixture to start. Too rich a mixture (flooding) can also cause trouble. Turn the fuel valve off to be sure the carb isn't leaking when not in use. If it smokes black on startup, it's flooding. Also check the condition of the spark plugs.

Have a 2000 polaris magnum 500 and it is a pain to get started choke seems too work fine even after i get it started it runs perfect but when i shut it back off its still hard too get started uselly gotta...

If you are certain the spark plug(s) is in good condition and correctly gapped, and the magneto is working normally, then you may have a fuel system problem. A quick diagnosis of fuel system issues is to spray a shot of starter fluid or WD-40 into the intake through the throttle body. If the engine fires for a bit then quits, it's a fuel system issue. Small engines do not do well with old ethanol-containing fuel. If it's turned yellow, drain it out and replace it, and remove any in the carburetor float bowl also.

Air leaks in the carburetor or intake manifold gasket may also cause hard starting. A sticky carburetor float or float valve is another possibility, especially if the engine was sitting for a long time with ethanol fuel drying out in the float bowl. A dirty air filter will also cause starting issues.

I have Just purchased Polaris 2001 Magnum 500 4x4, the yellow AWD switch was missing so bought a new one but the ATV is constantly in 4 wheel drive and realised now that they have by passed the switch some...

OUCH.. I hope you got it cheap... sorry.. You are going to have problems until you get the wiring straightened out completely..and by a Factory Trained Professional... I know thats expensive.!! The other alternative is to pass this machine on to someone else.(yikes) ... and take the money you would have spent on repairs and purchase a new(er) one with NO issues.. when you go look at another machine, take someone with you that knows ATV's..or take it to a shop for a full check-up!!

Sorry Jesse...
