So I bought my first 4 wheeler over the weeked. It's and '86 Kawasaki 300 bayou, 2wd. Paid $500, and it hadn't ran in almost a year and the starter wasn't working.
Cleaned the inside of the starter out, and got it to work, and got the bike to run.
It would idle good, but would bog real bad when I gave it gas.
Took the carb apart, and it looked pretty much spotless. Turned the idle mixture screw out a bunch, and still not much of a difference. Put in a new plug, still won't rev. And I've noticed after it sits overnight it doesn't want to start real well, and I usualy have to choke the carb off by hand to get it to start. I know I didn't do a real good job at cleaning the carb, all I did was mainly look at a few of the jets to make sure they were clear.
I also don't understand quite how these carbs work. There's like a butterfly valve that opens and closes with the throttle, but then there's the slide connected to like a rubber diphram, with no other mechanical connection to anything.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do next?
