Left Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Brown/Red
Right Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Violet

Procedure #1-

1. Be sure the hook on the bimetallic spring contacts the choke shaft lever.
2. Install the cover and retainer and lightly tighten the screws.
3. Turn the ceramic element to align the mark on it with the middle mark on the housing.

~~~ Procedure #2-

1. The engine must be cold to make this adjustment.
2. Remove the air cleaner.
3. Find the automatic choke. It's the round thing on the upper right-hand of the carburetor. There is a wire coming to it from the positive side of the coil.
Note: The automatic choke is a round ceramic thing with the heating element wound inside of it. (The ceramic part may be covered with metal so that it looks just like the rest of the carburetor.) The choke is held in position by a triangular ring clamp and three screws so it can be loosened and rotated for adjustment.

4. Pull the throttle arm on the left side of the carburetor down to free the little step arm (cam) that the screw at the top of the throttle lever rests on.
Note: This stepped "cam" is connected to the butterfly valve inside the throat of the carburetor by a shaft that extends all the way into the automatic choke. With the engine cold, the butterfly valve should be closed. As the engine warms up, the coil inside the automatic choke uncoils, opens the butterfly valve, and moves the cam to reduce the idle speed.

5. Release the throttle arm so that the return spring snaps it back. The little screw at the top of the throttle arm (again, with the engine cold) should now rest on the top step of the stepped cam. This sets the hi-idle, which is needed together with the choke on a cold engine to provide sufficient idle speed to keep the engine running until it warms up fully.
6. Loosen the three screws on the right side that hold the choke in place.
7. Keep your eye on the butterfly valve in the carburetor throat.
8. Turn the choke element clockwise (viewed from the right) until the butterfly is standing straight up, then turn the choke counterclockwise (viewed from the right) until the choke butterfly fully closes (barely -- not too tightly), then tighten the three screws that hold the choke in place.
Note: This is important; the automatic choke may be assembled wrong and not catching the hook on the coil spring at all.

9. Start the engine with the air cleaner off. As the engine warms up, make sure that the butterfly opens until it is standing straight up (full open) when the engine is fully warm. If it doesn't, readjust the choke until you get it right.
Note: The engine is now warm, so you won't be able to adjust the choke per the foregoing. Note the position of the notch on the side of the choke relative to the three little ridges on the body of the carburetor. If the butterfly is too far closed with the engine warm, turn the choke clockwise just a bit to straighten it up. The notch on the choke should never be too far outside of the three ridges on the body of the carburetor. If you are not able to adjust the choke using these method, something may be sticking, or perhaps the coil spring inside the canister is broken, or perhaps the wire has fallen off of the contact on the canister so that it is not getting power from the battery properly.

Instructions

1. • 1 Locate the red button on the top of the handlebars. This is called the "kill switch." When you pull it up the engine can run; when you push it down, the engine will shut off immediately.
     
   • 2 Pull the kill switch up.
     
   • 3 Turn the key to the "on" position.
     
   • 4 Make certain the cord running from the key is attached to the steering column. This device acts in the same manner as the kill switch - the engine will run only when it is secured.
     
   • 5 Pull the start cord, which looks like an enlarged lawnmower pull-cord and is generally found on the right side of the machine.
     
   • 6 Listen to the engine - if it starts, let it get going slowly . If it "pops" but does not continue to run, try pulling the start cord a few more times. If you do not hear the engine turn over at all, proceed to the next step.
     
   • 7 Find the pull tab under the right side of the handlebars. This is called the choke - it often has a circle with a diagonal line through it. The choke helps to start an engine when the weather is very cold or the machine hasn't been used in a while. When using the choke, try leaving it on only long enough to hear the engine fire a couple times, then return it to the "off" position. A choke left on too long can flood the engine.
     
   • 8 Place the choke in the vertical position - this is called the half choke position. Pull the start cord several times. If the engine fires up, place the choke back down to its original position and let it slowly warm up. If the engine still has trouble starting, proceed to the next step.
     
   • 9 Pull the choke 180 degrees from its original position - this is called the full choke. Pull the start cord until the engine sputters a couple times.
     
   • 10 Replace the choke to the original off position and continue to pull the cord. The engine should fire up and settle into a steady hum, ready for fun in the snow.

I would check the choke to see if it is close if not try ajusting it by losening the three screws on the right side of carb (passenger side car not running) hold acelerator left side open slitely turn black part of choke to the left till choke just closes release acelerato tighten the three scews if all that is ok check to see if by pressing acelerator with choke open if you see gas squirting (car not running)

I'm assuming this is a new purchase. You may want to take it to a dealer and have the carb. fine tuned. Sometimes they can be a little off right out of the box. Hope this helps.

If you remove the air filter, you can see the actual choke plate.

Yes, the throttle should be in the full in position. When starting, the choke should also be in the full on position.
If you can't tell if it is in the closed or open position, remove the cover that is over the carb where the air filter is and you should be able to see which way you move the lever for the closed or open position and mark it where you can see it. When starting put the throttle full on and the choke also in the full on position. It should usually start and stop right away. Now move the choke to the full off position keep the throttle in the full on position and it should start in 2 or 3 pulls. If it doesn't do the procedure again. While you have the cover off the carb check the air filter and if it is very dirty replace it or clean it off because a really dirty air filter could make it run rough or not start at all. I will gladly answer any questions. Best regards and good luck.

its your choke. when the choke is to the left it will sputter around. try moving the choke completely to the right. mine does the same thing u just have to run the choke on the right side. i dont know if its supposed to be on the left or right but if u push it ALL the way to the right it should be fine. my kawasaki 360 prairie is pushin 55 mph so i think i have it set up right.- Kyle
