A Suzuki King Quad 300 for just $200? | Will it run? | Garage Story
Рет қаралды 17,294
Жыл бұрынI recently got a deal on a Suzuki King Quad 300 for $200. It has a few problems, and it's missing the ignition switch, but let's dive in and see if we can get it running today!
Welcome to Garage Story!
I'm in the business of hunting up old lawn mowers and other small machines, and either parting them out, or fixing them up and selling them for profit. Come along for the ride with my weekly vlogs, and how-to videos.

That thing is in such better shape than the one I paid $1500 for. Deal. These are Great machines built for the long haul.

GREAT machine!!...and fun video. I agree they are awesome and so impressive with the gearing and 4wd system. I bought a 2000 KQ 300 in green from Michigan in 2013 with a 1000 miles on it. I made a project out of it and tried to go all OEM parts minus shocks (couldn't find any) and tires (Bear Claws)...with the 4x4 front diff lock mod. It's a GREAT machine and I'll keep it forever. They are small, nibble, and fun to ride. Merci

Thanks for sharing! I still need to get mine fixed up better. When the time comes for tires, I’d like to get the Bear Claws or the ITP Mud Lites

I pulled an old King Quad out of a dump in Alaska and rebuilt it with spare parts from other quads, got it up to 70 mph on a frozen lake that winter, at one point I was going sideways and then backwards but it was fun nonetheless.
@garagestory 4 ай бұрын
Very cool! That’s great you were able to save one of these amazing ATV’s. I didn’t know they could go 70… I’ve only gotten mine up to 45-50 if I remember right. Unfortunately mine have both been sitting for probably a year or so needing some fuel system and other minor work. I need to get them going again!

The trip meter has more miles than the odo? That bike spent it's entire life in a Grateful Dead parking lot. Edit for: Thanks for the inspiration. Makes me wanna see if I can get mine going.
@garagestory 10 ай бұрын
Yeah, kinda odd! Maybe the gearing for the two is very slightly different somehow. Probably the only way someone would notice it is a situation like this where the trip has never been re-set. I’m glad I could inspire you to get yours going again! I need to get back and do more work on this one- it’s actually been sitting for awhile.

I'm certainly no expert, is it possible that one of the meters is an hour meter, and one is an odometer? Great video, thanks!
@garagestory Жыл бұрын
Good thought! But no, based off my experience on my other King Quad, it is an odometer and a trip meter. Thanks for watching!

I haven’t dealt with that, but my first thought is your shifter cable/linkage might be out of adjustment.

Help, I acquired a Suzuki quad 250. Set outside for several years. I rebuilt carb and got it to run. Have not installed air cleaner yet. Idles perfectly. Throttle ups great when first starts then will not throttle up. Backfires a little when attempting to throttle up. Is my problem due to not installing the air filter? Thanks
@garagestory Ай бұрын
It could be. Is the diaphragm on top of the carb damaged? It’s a vacuum operated slide, so if the rubber diaphragm that ‘raises’ the slide is torn etc., it may not be raising the slide.
