Suzuki 160 Quad Runner Manual
These are what i have in my collection. I have a 2000 suzuki king quad lt-f300f that i picked up as a project bike. It didnt run well when it was parked outside 5 years ago. It cranked after putting fresh gas - but would not run below half throttle, i took apart the carb, cleaned debris, and re-assembled. I suspect that the pilot needle is sheared off - it never protrudes into the throttle body through the pinhole.
Now to get the bike to ALMOST idle, the throttle idle adjustment knob is all the way up/in. The pilot needle is turned almost all the way in/up (if i understand correct, it should nominally be out 2 1/4 turns or so).
And like i said, it will ALMOST idle. Floods easily, rides rough. Wanted to hear from those more experienced than me with suzukis - and im self-taught atv repair, so dont laugh too hard if my verbiage/part names is way off. Facing the driver's side of the bike US there are three hoses on this side of the carb. Without a service manual or way of knowing what was messed up before i got it, i think i have them right: front hose as a vacuum to the petcock, middle hose as vacuum to the fuel pump, rear hose as fuel line from the fuel pump.

Running the bike in prime position results in flooding even while riding. With all hoses disconnected from the carb, fuel slowly drips from the vacuum line connected to the petcock. So just my speculation is that the diaphragm in the petcock is split, and the pilot needle is broke off - causing my inability to not quite idle and the rough ride. This suzuki is hoses and cables everywhere compared to the honda ranchers and yamaha warriors i am used to. I would like to have a plan rather than: replace everything at once. Is my speculation on the right track, or could something else be at play? Say, if the compression was non-existent, would that cause non-idling?
I am all ears, look forward to the input.

These manuals are intended for the DIY mechanic and feature both step-by-step text instructions and sharp photos or illustrations of each component being worked on. The information is presented in an organized, easy-to-follow order, starting with basic general information about the ATV, troubleshooting, scheduled maintenance and tune-up, the engine, transmission, fuel, cooling (if so equipped) and electrical system, suspension and brakes, and frame and body. Most repair manuals we offer have clear wiring diagrams, so you can trace-and fix-electrical problems without wasting hours. These diagrams alone, for a lot of people working on their ATV, justify the cost of the manual.

Above: Back in 2005, Kathy McCarthy bought a little ATV for $100, and then realized she had no idea how to fix it. So she found The Motor Bookstore and ordered a repair manual.
And several years later, the Quad Runner is still running fine. Kathy's dog, Hawk, rides in a custom-made box. Bicknell, Utah.
