I have a Suzuki Ozark 250 2005 that has run well since I got it. This year I got it out, replaced the battery, cleaned the filter, checked the spark plug and it looked good, put gas in it and started it. I could only keep it running if the choke was nearly fully closed even after running it for 10 minutes. once I rode it, I noticed that it was backfiring when I let off the throttle. I did open the choke once I got it moving but it would die once back at idle. any ideas? Thanks Jim
Clean the carb. look for air leaks.
SOURCE: tried to adjust mixture screw like you said and it
The likely problem is either a sticky float or a problem with the needle and seat.
The remedy is to remove the carb and pull the bowl for cleaning and inspection.
SOURCE: 2005 suzuki ozark 250 sat a long time and wouldn't
i would have a look at the float needle and make sure its not sticking could cause the overflow of fuel
SOURCE: Ozark 250 will idle, but when throttle is pressed,
clean air filter, and clean carb with spray cleaner.make sure carb choke is free to move.look for vacuum lines off or stopped up. if trash is in the carb just draining it might not be enough,you may need to clean the jets or float needle valves too.
SOURCE: my suzuki ozark, 2001, won't
well the cherry red exhaust tells me that its getting way too much fuel, and the idle problem will continue if the float inside the carb is bad, or the needle for fuel cut off is stuck, either way the carb has to come off to be thouroghly cleaned, and check the float, it should be fverry light, and if its a brass one, shake it back and forth by your ear to listen for fuel in it, this will make the float sink lower in the carb and not allow the fuel to shut off. good luck hope this helps
