HI JERRY
HOW IS THE FLOW DOWN FROM THE TANK OR FUEL FILTER
MAY NEED TO CHANGE FUEL FILTER OR CHANGE FUEL LINES OR TANK VALVE BECAUSE USING FULL CHOKE SUCKS THE FUEL AS HARD AS THE BIKE CAN TO GET FUEL THROUGH THE SMALL LINES LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OR DON'T FIND
There should be a cable that runs under the carb on the left hand side of the quad,that has a black knob on it.If that has no effect,then its a possibility that your cable is too tight,needs lubing,OR you could have a vacuum leak somewhere. Good Luck!
You probably need a slight carburetor adjustment. Try to turn the L mixture screw (the one near the bottom of the carburetor on the air filter side, closest to the engine) 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn counterclockwise. These mixture adjustment screws ( L and H) have odd heads on them and conventional tools won't turn them. I use an automotive type plastic wire connector (around 22 gauge) with a ring terminal end which I can hold. Tap the plastic end of the wire terminal connector onto the head of the screw with a small hammer and this will enable you to adjust the L screw. This adjustment will increase you high speed side and possibly allow it to run off choke in a regular manner.
You need to take off your carburetor , disassemble it, and clean the jets (specifically the slow jet) and the passageways in the carburetor body that feed the gas to the carburetor throat. Carefully set your air screw setting back to stock setting. and reassemble. Inspect the intake manifold and air box tubes for cracks and separations. That should get you idling again.
