Just turned idle screw down. Running good atm. Never did get the aftermarket carb to work. I did use a jet and pilot screw from the Chinese carb in the oem carb. Appreciate the help guys.

Anybody know what would cause it to run wide open upon starting?

I’ve had no luck with getting this carb set. Now instead of hard to start, it is easy to start but as soon as hit the start button the bike runs wide open til I turn off the handle bar switch. like the throttle is wide open and stuck but it isn’t Any idea why it’s doing this?

That sounds like good advice. My experience is on Hondas. They are carb friendly compared to these. I’m about to get on it right now and I’ll report back.

Gentlemen, I used the plunger that came with the aftermarket carb. Mech, I have noticed this carb sits at an angle compared to my Honda’s carbs, which are level. The carb seems flooded to me. At one point gas overflowed into the breather box. I did try adjusting the float and may have bent the tab the wrong way. Thanks again for the help!

Had no power to key switch, so I used the Hotwire from the rusted out 12v outlet. Got a neutral light and electric start works. Problem is I replaced the oem carb with a aftermarket zoom zoom carb. Plug has spark but will not start. It was running w the oem carb before but idled rough. Should I try rebuilding the oem carb and ditch the aftermarket? Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for all the help on this. Really appreciate it! I will check and let yall know what I find.

I actually do have a service manual but not a very good multimeter. I do have a Tesla light that I can use though. so the best thing to do is to remove all the plastics so I can get to the wiring harness and just chase hot wires.?

Thanks, I may need to replace the relay. It seems like I’m getting no power from the battery forward so might be the problem. Should I have posted this is the Kawasaki forum? I new and just realized there was one….

You guys are my last resort. Got a 2000 prairie 300. Brand new battery, neutral switch, aftermarket carb, spark plug, silenoid, key switch. Fuses are good. No neutral green light, will crank if cross the silenoid, but won’t start. No power at the ignition switch or regulator. I’m thinking cdi box or starter relay. Anyone have any suggestions?
