Is that new carb or an aftermarket carb set to factory settings or does it have a different jet in it? Any modifications like an aftermarket exhaust? On cold start, the choke should be fully on and at operating temp fully off. If you have it off and to start it by giving it more gas, I think you have a carb/choke adjustment issue.

How's your air filter? Did you buy a factory OEM carb or aftermarket and is it jetted? So on top end it's bogging down? * Topic moved to Kawasaki ATV forum.

What engine are you going to use? Interesting project, keep us updated!

I haven't seen anything to guard the calipers but that doesn't mean something doesn't exist. The only guards for the front end I've seen are the cv boot guards that mount to the control arms and could provide additional protection for that area.

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! What kind of ATV do you own? Off the grid, you probably have a lot of riding area...and obviously internet 😋

The best I could find was for a 2007. I uploaded it here:

Might be an issue with the neutral safety switch. Check out this topic where the member bypassed it...might be a way to test.

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! Assuming you put it all back together correctly, sounds like an adjustment issues.

@steve shugart I merged this ignition topic you created into your existing topic for 1998 Suzuki LT-F4WDX King Quad 300 No Start Oil Light. You had no ATV model info in your latest topic, so I assume its for the same King Quad which you already have a topic started for. It might be your temp sensor that us faulty, not sure if there is an ignition cutoff on high temp.

Try some of the online retailers by doing a google search You can also try ebay 🙂 * Topic moved to Yamaha Forum

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! Looks like its a 1990 Suzuki LT-4WDL QuadRunner 250 http://www.cyclepedia.com/manuals/CPP-VIN/index.php

Is the fuel pump running when it shuts off? Isn't that fuel injected? I used to own a 700 king quad. * Added issue to your topic title.

@steve shugart I changed the topic title to 1998 Suzuki LT-F4WDX King Quad 300 No Start Oil Light, so hopefully you'll get more responses. Do you have electric start on that? Check all your fluids and I would try to identify why the oil temp light came on. Here are a few similar topics:

I would think so, they even sell a kit for the 500's https://www.tobefast.com/UFORCE-Snow-Plow-Kit.html and ClickNGo GEN 2 UTV Plow Kit - 72", CF-Moto UFORCE 500 2017 * Topic moved to CF MOTO UTV forum and added "snow plowing" to topic title. ☺️

I would probably search online for Chinese ATV seller and email them your picture to see if they can identify it. That exhaust kind of gives it away in my opinion and makes me lean Chinese with the manufacturer. Maybe https://www.extrememotorsales.com/xcart/atv-110cc-125cc-150cc-250cc-300cc/ https://www.vmcchineseparts.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwn-bWBRDGARIsAPS1svsNGbMNmdw4Dfkb-mySs4BqP4s1rY1zfIE7GxceqLoqlhTqX9h8n4AaAt-LEALw_wcB

It looks like a Chinese quad to me or something other than the main steam manufacturers. Are there any numbers stamped anywhere on the frame?

Yes. i would spray a little starting fluid in there and see if it starts. When you cleaned the carb, did you take it a apart and inspect the float and bowl?

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! I changed the title of your topic to 1984 Honda 200 trx not starting and moved it to our Honda ATV forum. Is it cranking and just not catching? If it's been sitting a while it could be bad gas, could be flooded, could have a spark issue. I would spray some starting fluid in the intake and see if it starts, if it does its a fuel delivery issue.

I find the easiest thing to do is look at a parts diagram like https://www.powersportswarehouse.com/oemparts/a/kaw/500b2842f8700223e4793008/crankcase That tube might be the oil return tube. Leaking oil could be an issue, but I'm not 100% sure what's causing it. Could be oil over fill or overflow, a bad oil pump seal, or something else.

A little heat will make it easier and less likely to snap.

I was leaning on a carb issue but since you swapped it out and have the same issue...check your choke, fuel delivery, air box for restriction. When it starts to die out, see if spraying some fuel or starting fluid into the intake keeps it running to see if its actually a fuel issue. If no different, check your spark plug and coil.
