One of my sons has a Suzuki LT50 quad , it seems to take an inordinately long time to warm up ,spluttering with the choke on so i turn it off then it cuts out ,this carries on for quite a long time 8-10 minutes until it eventually clears and runs ok

I have checked the plug ,made sure it is the right one ,cleaned the carby out with card cleaner and a compressor and cleaned the air filter and it still is reluctant to warm up cleanly and easily

Any ideas ?? or is this quite normal for one of these ?

p.s i know its not a trials bike query, but if Ishy can post about skunks then what the hell !!(no offence meant there Ishy!)

running to lean maybe?are all the carb settings and jets right?

Is the restrictor out? there is a washer in the exhaust which makes them run like a pig. I used to start the one we had,let it run on the choke about 30 seconds and then lift the back end off the ground and let it rev until it cleared itself.

hi where is the washer in the exhaust? is up by the head? thanks.

I've taken all three of the restrictors out of the girls lt50 and it runs so much better...

theres one in the carb on the poilot jet....one in the carb manifold....and one in the front part of the exhaust pipe...

run it up on choke for 30 seconds and then its fine alday..
