Is there a noteable difference in top speed/ power, when comaring the 250 quad runner to the 300 king quad { with both of them being the selectable 2x4 + 4x4 models } ?

Listen Schneids, this is what youtube is all about. You explain, in detail, how to perform the process AND explain other things to look out for. I need to buy you beer. Thank you man!

You are my hero!!! I would have never had the courage to tackle a job like this without your videos. Thank You!!!

One of the most sensible and down-to-earth presentations on working on a carb rebuild. Extremely well done. My compliments and appreciation...I understand a WHOLE lot more now than before I started.

You're a legend. Been watching your king quad series before I do any work on mine. It's made all the work a breeze, thank you.

I fixed my King Quad fuel problem thanks to your videos. It’s been running dependably for a year now. Thanks.

Hey Dude, Thanks so much. My plugs were just going black dispite changing plugs etc. Pulled the carb apart. cleaned all the jets as per your vid. Never run better. Had the bike 15 years

I was cleaning my carb and used your video and for some reason I was having trouble adjusting the idle screw to where it would run right, and it was running really rich. I had put the clip on the needle on the highest spot to try to get it to seat lower to not allow more gas in. After hours of adjusting I finally got it to idle. Then when I put my air box back on it wouldn’t even start. After reviewing your video again I found that on the needle I was putting spacer, washer then clip on the needle not washer, clip and lastly spacer. Thanks your the good video.

Thanks bud your video help me get her running it's running perfect it's at for 15 years and it needed the carburetor cleaned bad but thanks your video I'm riding around right now thanks again.

Awesome videos. Thank you for making the time to create them. I love this bike when it's running. It was way ahead of it's time. Mine sat for years after buying a UTV and won't run now. After following your videos I was able to get the carb apart and cleaned up. I replaced the petcock as it had failed as well. Now we just need a video of getting the darned carb back in and the intake boot on. I imagine it'll be a 6 hour video with lots of cussing, kicking, and beer. Then we realize the carb needs more attention and do the process all over again.

I was given a 93 king quad and I’m restoring it from ground up and this is my first quad rebuild but your video was excellent. Thank you for taking the time and making quality videos.

Thanks for the King Quad 300 carburetor clean video. Very detailed and helpful much appreciated.

Wanted to say thanks for the video. Just bought a 300 that had been stored outside and would sometimes start but not run. Used your video to remove 3 dead bugs from the float bowl and now runs great. Now have to try getting 1st gear to engage and the front brakes to work. Thanks for the videos.

Thank you much. Your calm, detailed video answers several questions I had. 👍👍

Have two 94 King quads. Thanks for you videos. They help a lot.

Thanks for the video! My 1999 250 quadrunner would not run without the choke fully on and feathering the throttle. Took my carb apart, cleaned it and put it back in with the help of the video. Now starts right up and runs without the choke!

This guy is the best he knows all about King quads

guys like you are the real m.v.p's of youtube. thank you so much

Perfect vid! Just what the doctor ordered. Thanks Bro!

thanks for the video,i have a 94 250 that need's the carb refreshed,,this should be a great help

DUDE YOUR AMAZING!! You helped me a ton!!

A tip for those who struggle with putting the carb back in with the airbox and intake hoses, take off your top plate where the range knobs are, remove the bolt holding the white snorkel and slide it back, then carefully cut off those back tabs on the airbox, it makes it MUCH easier to remove and replace the carb when needed. I can now tune the carb a lot faster and easier. Just make sure that it is secured (I used zip ties) and not touching the exhaust that is close to it.

Thanks for the video. Big help!

That was a great video, thanks for filming. I have 1 king quad and 2 2x4 quad runners and my sister just picked up a 4x4 quad runner but hers is all full idle choke doesn’t work, so i came here to find out a bit more about the choke. Anyways great video it was VERY informative and clear.

Excellent video, thanks

Great video ! Thanks for the information !

great clean job, thanks!

Appreciate this. Got my father's 96 King quad 300. It doesn't run so this is my first thought. Need to find an air filter box for it also. Mine doesn't have one. Also need a right side front CV axle

This is just in time! I am getting started on a 98 King Quad, been sitting a while. Bought it as a project for my daughter and I to tinker with. Should be fun. Gonna start with a carb cleaning, adjust valves, and see how she runs. I was told that it smoked, so maybe new rings soon as well. Thanks for the videos, keep up the great work!

Great vid!!! Very well done.

I just finished a carb rebuild 3/20/21. I have a 96 king 300. I am the sole owner. It would smell like it was running rich after shut off. The mid range circlip was set in the fourth groove and the idle screw was four turns out. I used the new needle and put the circlip in the middle of the five grooves and set the idle jet to two and a half turns out. The needle seat retain screw would not turn so I used a craftsman 1/4x4in. chisel #42971 to get it loose (that chisel has come in handy often) and reinstall it. I used a small screw driver handle to hold open the butterfly to install the throttle cable. I used 3in1 oil to lube the inside lip of the rubber boot to install it. I got the bottom of the boot to seat first on each end and used a very very small flat head screw driver to finish getting the top of the boot to seat first on the carb then on the air box. Started right up and after a one mile test ride no rich smell after shut off. Thanks Josh.

Helpful- enjoyed

Madd Skills... Thank you!

Great video brother, I have a kq also, thanks so much 4 the tips

Super awesome info. Thanks

Hey amazing video helped me rebuild carb on mine after it got its first run in 20 years and runs great but my dads has an issue and don’t know where to start it will turn over but will not fire no matter what the choke is at and I rebuilt the carb

Excellent Presentation~~Thanks

Did mine, my Quadrunner 300 now runs absolutely perfect. WHat a machine

Nice information on this thanks alot for sure.

Thank you so much

I got mine back from the shop a while back. The carb needed to be cleaned. I wondered why it kept acting "cold natured" and took forever to keep running. Finally I tore into it and found out they had left the pilot screw fully seated. NO WONDER. Well anyway I ended up pulling it off just so I could adjust it. I have it maybe 2 5/8 or almost there per the service manual. The one thing that sucks about how the carb is sitting in there is the fact that you really cannot adjust it while it's running. But it's doing really well now nevertheless. lol.

Nice job! I've got a 94 lt250 Quadrunner, just under 5000 km. I think it has the same carb as your 300. Idle goes REALLY high after a short while of warmup. Happens @ 2 5/8 to 2 7/8 out. Any further out it dies without throttle. Not choking it at all. Some "hiccups" need to be ironed out (adjust valves?) Thanks again! Well done.

Thanks for this video. Great detail including removal. I have done this before but it is not like most carb removals and disassemblies. Your video makes it very clear. Also you made a good point about test running with hoses installed. I didn't know that so it was part of why I couldn't get the engine started after rebuild. I also was unclear about how many turns the fuel mixture should have been (I forgot to count when removing it 😣). That rubber air feed hose connecting to the carb is the most awkward part of this job. More time is spent on reinstalling that darned thing than any other part of the servicing. I sure wish the rubber was more pliable. Thanks again for posting this. Any other videos coming for the Suzuki King 300?

Excellent

Thankyou so much!!!

Just rebuilt my king quad carb.

Watched this a couple times - will watch a couple more as I work on my carb for the first time. Really appreciate your work here. This is way overdue on my '97. Had an episode where I ran out of fuel, adjusted the petcock to reserve, ran out again (quickly), filled tank, ran briefly, quit, got grey smoke out the exhaust when cranking, then no starting (piston just wouldn't move). So, I'm doing the carb. Found fuel in the air intake box soaking the bottom of the filter. My fuel has leaked to the point where the remainder is flush with the top of the petcock (longer) intake. I want to remove the petcock next. Do you see any issue with me tipping the machine on it's right side, so I can remove the petcock without having to empty the fuel tank?

Thank you.

Good and thorough Thank-you I have one question about the idle screw on the bottom how many turns out should I turn it if I swP it with the mikunu screw with the adjustment tail

Hey man just a quick tip if you didn’t already know, it blew my mind when I found out but - most of these atvs are manufactured using JIS screws, not Phillips, JIS is short for “Japanese industrial standard” and usually they have a small dot on the screw head to signify that they are JIS. That is why almost every carb you come across nowadays has stripped out bowl screws, and stripped out screws all over the machine because 99% of the time they are manufactured in Japan using JIS, and every guy who’s owned it previously has stripped them out using Phillips. I recommend looking into Vessel JIS screwdrivers, they are known for they’re quality, they are true JIS, and you can order them right off Amazon. It’s honestly an unbelievable difference, id recommend anyone who owns an Japanese manufactured atv should at the very least own a #2 JIS screwdriver. It will even remove the mostly stripped Phillips screws quite often as JIS just bites that much more vs Phillips

awesome vid bud. I just needed to know where the stupid idle adjuster goes after taking my carb out I didn't see where it came from and put it on the wrong side. What that did was make the idle either set itself too low or too high because of the age and that adjuster rusting into it original bend and i moved to the other side not knowing and when i put it back it's great. 1995 250 2x4.

Hey man! First I wanted to thank you for a great video. It really helped give me the confidence to tackle this repair without sending it out, couldn’t have done this without your video. However, I was wondering if you could help me trouble shoot an issue... First off, the bike sat for a couple years. I drained the gas, changed the oil/filter, air filter and added fresh gas. It fired right up with no issues. However I wanted to rebuild the carb as it sat so long with old gas. I pulled the carb, used a rebuild kit and replaced all jets/gaskets and followed your directions. It was actually pretty clean, but the jets were a little corroded. After reinstalling the carb, it kicked over on full choke for a minute the than died. After that I could only get it to turn over on full choke, for five seconds, very limply, and as soon as I let go of the start button it quits. Now it won’t start at all. Any idea what could be going on? Could I maybe have mixed up the vent hoses or hav something on wrong? I don’t think it’s the petcock, fuel, or anything like that, as the bike had no issue running before. As far as I can tell, the connections to the air box and from the carb to the motor are on tight. I also saw you mentioned something about the rubber boot on the choke being “over top” what did you mean by that? The machine is a 99 and only has 1k miles on it. I just can’t figure it out and was hoping that you had a tip or something before I have to tear it off and try again. I also have a digital copy of the shop manual I’d be happy to send you for your effort. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or need me to clear off further and thanks again!

Hey bud..you forgot to remove your o-ring and washer under the pilot screw..also, alot of people are not aware that the needle jet ( emulsion tube ) must be removed and cleaned as well...they are notorious for getting plugged..i remove all parts and put them in a ultrasonic cleaning machine..( best money you'll ever spend) ensure the orifices are clear on the needle jet..if not, I use a small strand of copper wire to clear the holes if need be.. NEVER use " torch tip cleaner" to clear obstructions as these orifices may become oversized which are specific to the carburetor...cheers h tip cle

Hi, super video! Thanks a lot!! I thought it would fix my problem, I have difficulty starting. I have to pull the Choke and push to full gas and IT takes a while to start... There is a hose Near the rear right tire that leaks gas, it has a rubber nozzle...don't know what could be the problem

Tks for all those good videos. It makes me understand my KingQuad '93 a lot. Which rebuild kit do you recommand, OEM or Amazon? If amazon do you have one in particular that you like the end result?

Awesome video. Helped me out a ton. I picked up a free 1993 KQ 300 that was sitting for 3 years in the Arizona heat. I followed your video and was able to get the carb cleaned, oil changed (thanks for your other video on oil changes) and the quad started right up to my surprise. I do have a problem though. The thing Idles super high in neutral but as soon as I put it in gear the idle drops down. Though I put choke back wrong. That didn’t change anything. Tried spinning the idle adjustment but nothing changes. Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you know if a China king quad 300 carburetor will fit a Suzuki lt300? I can't find the exact carb and since its a Suzuki and 300 I wonder if it would fit

Piece of cake once you show how it's done

Great video man, rebuilding a 4x4 quad runner carb as we speak but my 2x4 quad runner has that little plastic pieces that threads into the carb on the choke cable is broken. Any chance you know where I can get a new one of those? Otherwise I’m thinking of using a piece of heat shrink I can use to reconnect the cable rubber to said plastic piece.

Hi my carb in my quadrunner 250 is a normal mikuni carb from a snowmobile or something and i have problems with bogging when it gets warm. It runs perfect on mid and high range but when i drive really slow on really low rpms it bogs. when i give it a little more throttle it runs fine again. It idles good too. what should i di to make it run right on really low rpms?

Good video but I'll add when you takeoff the choke cable be sure you also remove the brass piece that's on the cable, I didn't and it fell into the engine area. I was on grass and couldn't find it, look all over. Then I put a black blanket under the atv and shock real hard and it fell out onto the blanket, lucked out.

Do you have video of working on the final drive and inner u joint of the king quad?

I have a 300 and it idles super high. It also backfires when I turn it off. The issue is it is difficult to get it into reverse or out of reverse when it is like this. I think it is a safety issue. I turned down the throttle on the right side using the little turn nob but still the same thing. Hard to get it into and out of reverse. Any suggestions?

I bought an aftermarket Chinese carburetor it does not work in your video you recommended another carburetor to replace the original one what would you recommend to replace the original carburetor what brand or would you go with or would you go with an OEM carburetor

Thanks for the great videos. I am rebuilding my 1998 Suzuki Quad after watching your videos. I did great taking the carb out, and dissembly except for the little brass jet that you need a real small slotted screwdriver. I cannot get it out. Will that jet cause me problems ? Thanks, Bob

Hi, lovely video !! I have the same carb and having vaccum problem to the fuel pump. What do you think about it ?? thanks , Gus

Hi Schneids, I have a king quad 300 with a mishmash of Chinese and stock carburetor parts. What’s really interesting is that the plastic piece in the middle that guides the slide and holds the emulsion tube wasn’t seated right- carb was flooding right out. It has these plastic ears that stopped it from going down into the bowl far enough. Cut those off and now she’s running nicely, but lean. What I am curious about though is if it’s for the wrong carburetor. Would you mind sending me a close up picture of the throat of the stock carburetor from the air filter side? If it looks pretty close to mine I’ll spend the money on OEM jets to finish the tune up. Thanks!

Hey mate have you came across the starter flywheel on 250cc / 300cc King quad free spinning I have a 300cc that dropped ext valve and came across a 250cc motor so put that in and the starter flywheel free spins any help would be much appreciated

First of all, great channel and thank you all the king quad guidance. Any chance you can share any tips on replacing a throttle cable for my 98' king quad 300. The cable broke within the jacketing. How far am I breaking things down from the handle bars to the carb for installation. Much appreciated.

A set of JIS spec screw drivers are the ticket when working on these carbs. I replaced all the stripped screws with socket head screws when I did the one on my dirt bike, no different than these. JIS screw heads aren't the same as Phillips, Phillips I think were intentionally designed to strip out lol.

Purchased same carb you showed. Mine was USA. Same previous issues start and stall. Carbrator has been soaked have rebuilt kit suggestions please, thank you for your time.

Had someone professionally rebuild this carb on my king quad 300 and it never would idle and would rev up constantly/backfire like it was getting too much fuel. I took it back apart and adjusted like you did and now it will idle, but if I try to touch the throttle it will shut off. Any suggestions? I have tried moving the pilot screw to 2, 2.5, and 3 turns with very little difference. Throttle issue is still the same. Thank you!

Trying to snorkel mine do you have any recommendations?

Hey are the quad runner 250 and the king quad 300 rear interchangeable

would it be possible for you to do a video on showing different ways on putting on the inlet tube and if there is a way to soften the inlet tube up to make it easier

I have a 1997 King Quad that fires right up cold, idles and runs great. Ride it around about 10 min warms up but once your riding for about 15 to 20 minutes it starts to randomly stall and it won't start again for about 10 or 15 min. I have cleaned the carb, replaced the voltage regulator, fuel pump, and the petcock but the warm stall issue continues. Any recommendations you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I love your channel by the way. Thank you.

Josh great videos! Just picked up a 94 king quad for 200bucks. Cleaned carb and got her running thanks to your videos. Does it matter where you run the vaccum line comming off the fuel petcock? Carb was completely off when I bought it. My carb has a plastic tube on one side (fuel line side ) and a metal tube on the throttle cable side. Two vent tubes directly behind the diagram? You are the king quad master. Thanks

So cleaned mine would not start kept cleaning again watching your video months later it starts but the exhaust while running would get red hot close to engine now get it to start just have to barely hold open throttle can not get that adjusted any advice

hey schneids, a rookie here..im wondering if a suzuki 500 quadmaster is a similar tear down of the carb as the one you did on the 300 quadrunner?..im gonna attempt it, my first one ever..its spittin & sputterin at when i rev it. if i use the choke it seems to run smoother..is it starving for gas?...any thoughts would really be great, ty.

Awesome Video Mate, I have just pulled the carb out of my Father in laws King Quad 300, and the diaphragm has a small tear in it. Any advise on where to find the part number and the parts for these in Canada? Cheers

Any recommended brands or links for rebuild kits?

I got problem... my Suzuki king quad have no air filter... so what do I do? I have hard time to find new air filter kit, since guy remove air filter box and rubber hose

what creates the vacuum to operate the vacuum pump on top to operate the fuel pump? crank case? or how does diaphragm move? i just cleaned one and put it back on. but havent connected the air box and filter yet so that may be the issue. not getting any suction coming out for fuel pump. did before taking it off though. yes its back together correctly and tab lined up. i saw that. ive worked on mowers, ope, bicycles, cars, trucks for 20 years but new to atvs and the atv style carb. also working on polaris 200cc phoenix i think it is. about 15 years old. had it running perfect. but drain valve on carb bowl was leaking and not sealing. took carb off. swapped bowls. did quick clean without disassembly of any internal parts, new o ring against block. new air filter. now it backfires like crazy unless choke is half on then it seems to run without back fires. neighbor called cops cause thought i was shooting guns from polaris back fires

Hello sir I'm doing a carb rebuild on 2002 suzuki vinson auto is the float bowl needle seat supposed to come out I've been trying with pliers kinda gouge it a little

Hey I have a 2001 king quad Lt300 but my carb doesnt look like that, can the Model X Carb swap for the Model K1, K2, and Y1?

My Ozark is slightly different but still helped

Enjoyed your video on the King quad. Mine runs if the choke is set all the way. Taking the choke off about half way it dies. The carb was cleaned as to your specs about a year ago. I did notice the rubber was in bad shape where the choke goes in the the carb. Could this be my problem? I have searched on line everywhere for a replacement to no avail. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Schneids 15 I was wondering how I would rise up my idle speed on my 1994 king quad 300 ? it will die most of the time, when idling... There should be an ajusting screw somewhere ????? than you !

What about a rebuilt kit? Im missing the spring on my 2000 kq

Hola soy de Costa Rica tengo un cuadraciclo suzuki king quad 300cc pero no tiene carburador y el original es muy difícil de conseguir cual otro se puede adaptar

You can take apart the cab with the tool kit that comes with these new eh, the 10mm/12mm wrench can get that choke nut off with some patience but by no means is it a nice fit or fun in any way 😜

Hi trying to fix a friend Suzuki quad four-wheel-drive I can’t find what kind more than that but fuel tank in up and no fuel pump gravity flow. It has the diaphragm for the slide elevator. The lines going to the carb was off. I know only the main fuel line that comes from fuel shut off is correct but it has 3 more lines where do they go? This carb is not like I see on every one else easily taken out this one is under the frame and Close to the starter. Thanks

Can you possibly do a video of where and what all rubber hoses do and where they go

I have a 97 arctic cat 300, which I believe is the identical motor. I was told the valves needed adjustment so I bought the feeler gauge and got them to .002 intake and .004 exhaust. It’ll spit and sputter but not start. I’m at tdc on the compression stroke as well but I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong. I heard on a video that u need to go just past tdc but haven’t tried it. Is there any way that the timing may be off and if so is it easy to time the engine? I’m desperate so please,please, please; can you point me in the right direction as far as what might be wrong.

What is the brass cylinder next to the pilot screw? It has a hole in it does that need to be cleaned? If so how?

My carb is a lot different. I have an 2001 or 2002 Quad.

I have a 98 Suzuki 300 I'm trying to get running right. Since I cleaned the carb and adjusted the idle screw and the clutch screw, I can't get the bike to go over 30mph without it jerking and bogging down like the bike can't go any faster. Does anyone have any idea why this is, or what I can try to do to fix it?

I have a ‘94 king quad 300 and it’ll start but as soon as you shift into gear it stalls out, would you happen to know what might be wrong with it?

I have a King Quad that floods outs at idle. The carb has been gone through twice still floods out. Will always start and run,will flood on idle. Do you have anything suggestions. Thinking on replacing carburetor what Mikuni model would you suggest?
