Greetings.  We just got this from my sister-in-law.  (Bet she doesn't know, either!)
First the battery was wimpy.  I discovered this battery needs to be filled (hadn't seen such in decades), and that NAPA sells the acid. 
Now feels like it's not getting enough gas to catch.  Added gas.  No change.  I would normally now try the choke, or starter fluid in the intake.  Cannot find those!  Cannot find a diagram.  Oy!

Can you quit laughing long enough to help, please?

Thanx

OK.  "They say" not to respond to your own topic, as people will assume it's been solved.
Not solved.  Went through the process yesterday with someone who knows more about such rigs than I do.
Located the air intake under the center console.  But no sign that, even though Amazon appears to sell choke cables, there is any provision for a choke on this machine.
We put in some drygas, cleaned up the spark plug, hooked up a jumper cable so the power would not run out, and repeatedly tried started fluid and alternately pumping the pedal and not pumping the pedal.  (No smell of gas as in flooding.)

A couple of stutters, very minor, but no sense it was going to turn over. 
This forum doesn't seem programmed to indicate whether anyone has read a post, so I dunno.
If you have any suggestions before I have to wrestle it onto the trailer and down to the shop, I would be grateful.

      In search of my first ATV? What are good older 4x4 models?

      So I decided to pick up a small trailer if I could get one for the right price.  I found this one for a few hundred bucks on Craig’s list.  It is  a galvanized trailer which is exactly what I was looking for. The wood was shot and needed some minor repairs which I could care less about as long as the chassis was good. 
      I striped it down and put a new deck on. I had some vinyl realtree graphics that I had laying around so I added them to the fenders which I think worked out well. Very happy with this little guy.  
      I'm having the iron workers at my jobmake me up a few lightweight side rails that will have a 22 degree bend in them to accommodate the tires that slightly hang over the edge and will incorporate some tie down points as well.

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.
