Hi,

Newbie here! I recently bought my first ATV - an 01 Quadrunner 500 4x4, semi-auto, shaft driven. I love it...came with a plow/winch setup and all. Low miles, only 1250.

Problem is that after riding it for a short time (even 5-10 mins) and shifting down into neutral, the engine revs up to almost scary rpms. It doesnt die down until I shift in and out of 1st a couple times. Then when I go to shut it down, it lets off an incredible backfire. Am I doing something wrong or does this point to an issue someone is familiar with. Ive run through a tank of fuel, added stabilizer...but to no avail.

(I read through several threads and never found one similar to mine.)

Thanks!

Welcome to QUADCRAZY and Congrats on your first ATV!

Sounds like you are getting too much fuel and backpressure is building. Have you adjusted anything on the carb, like the idle screw? How does it start cold, does the choke work and does it idle well?

Hi, thank you for a response. The quad starts right up when cold with the choke set about half way. I release the choke back to the off position after about 2-3 minutes and she idles just fine. I can leave it idling like that for quite a while with no issues.

I have not adjusted the idling screw on the carb, what would be the best way of getting at it? And do I turn in a clock-wise or counter clock-wise manner? Thank you!

If it's the same as mine the idle adjustment is on the right side just under bowl. It's a cable style adjuster so it's "remote" so to speak. It should have KNOB look to it. Clockwise increases idle speed, counter decreases

Found the idle screw which had a gold knob over it. Gave it a couple small turns to lean it out and she is running much better now. This seems to have done the trick! Thank you all for the help.

      2 problems with 2000 Timberwolf 4x4
      By Tim Keiper
      1st problem, Does anyone know where I can find a stock carb for my Timberwolf, I have tried two different aftermarket carbs and they both suck. The machine runs great until it gets good and warm, then it keeps stalling unless I feather the throttle. it will even stall while I'm trying to go from 1st to reverse or vise versa. I took it to a buddy of mine who is a bike mechanic for years, and he told me try to find a factory carb. When I look online from dealers it says "NOT AVAILABLE" anyone have any suggestions ?
       
      2nd, The small tab on the rear axle for towing is to short for even pulling my small yard trailer, I can't even turn a little bit and hit hits. I tried making an extension which worked great as far as length, but it bends the tab and then the extension drags the ground. I have an idea of what to do to fix it, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and see how you solved it.

      ATV Snow Plow Review, Best ATV & UTV Snow Plows
      By Ajmboy
      So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
      This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.

      Winch ATV in to Truck Bed
      By Panupong Pradchaphet
      I have a Sportsman 450 HO and almost killed my self when loading it on my truck with ramps.  It rolled off the top of the ramps and tailgate and nearly landed on me.  I now want to winch the ATV in to the truck.  My question is are the front side bed tiedowns in my 2011 RAM strong enough to winch to without distorting the hooks or sides of the bed?
