Thank you. Extremely helpful for rebuilding my Eiger 400. Long story is, this is my first bike. Got an idea of how they work but not an expert. Apparently the person I bought it from rigged the crap out of it to run. Was taking in way too much air. They had blocked basically all airflow, rags, mask, heck, even a crumbled up water bottle in the intake, just to make it run. It was starving the engine from fuel and air! 🤦🏻♂️ Pulled apart the carb today and they had swapped jets, 122 in 55 and vice versa, no crap it was starving! Running good now and a hell of a lot faster. At least now I know what to look for if I buy used again.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching and the comment. Have you watched some of our other videos on this same model? Also if you have need parts check out: www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports

Throw that garbage away and buy a good used OEM carb. Have you watched our Knockoff vs GENUINE carb video. You'll never buy a knock off again. th-cam.com/video/kOv8nhHUsq4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kUzXxYxu6uc0Xyp_ Thanks for the comment and for watching. Let us know if you have an questions!

Soooo I'm re doing the carb on a Vinson at the moment. The owner hit something and bent the hell out of the frame. He bent it back the best he could. I'm just wondering if all Vinsons have a bit of a forward lean on the carburetor. I looked at my 500 quadrunner (couple years older) the carb sits dead level on it.
So had a problem after rebuilding my carb. Quad would idle fine but when I hit the throtle the bike would bog down like it was starving for gas. After hours of toying with it, we figured out the the first person who took the carb out to clean the jets, switched the 2 jets by mistake. After hours of pain, lesson learned that we should have tried switching the 133 and the 55 jets aroumd.
Got a question my eiger will start and run if I hit it with starting fluid but won't start without it have never used it before so I know it's not addicted just used it twice
I just cleaned a carb on a Suzuki Eiger. The quad is still very hard to start and when I get it to run at higher RPM's Ihave adjust idle fuel screw all the way in to keep it running. Any ideas on this I would greatly appreciate.
Sorry to hear this!! What did you set you air/fuel screw to? What color is your spark plug? Sometimes when the carburetor is cleaned and re-installed when you put the fuel line back on the carburetor if it is an old line a piece of rubber breaks off and will lodge into the jets. Let me know what you find. Thanks for watching.
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports I started with two turns out on the air/fuel screw. But when I started fine tuning with a tach. I found that it would run better with the screw turned all the way in.RPM's would increase but when I would turn the idle screw back down to around 1300 RPM's the machine would stall. Also I am feeding the carb with a new auxilary fuel bottle instead of the fuel tank.
I have a 1998 Suzuki quad runner 500. Plastic piece that holds the main jet in place has a crack and it's letting to much fuel threw. I'm needing a new carberator. Would a 2000 quad master 500 carberator work on the Suzuki quad runner 500. Found one like half the price. They look identical.thanks.
Hey question im doing work on my buddies 300 quadrunner, his bike idles alright, although when he gives it some throttle it will blownout black smoke and kind of cough when accelrating out of first gear, it spits and sputters. Im assuming carb issue although i could be wrong?
I had same problem with 2002 king quad 300. Shop said I needed a new petcock. Replaced that and started and ran fine. Took forever to start before. Working on a 1997 king quad 300 now and it sat outside for 5 yrs. added 2 bottles seaFoam to gas tank with fresh gas. After new plug it started fine. Won’t stay running-idling without giving it gas is the issue. Should I rebuild carb ? Or got any recommendations? Rather not have to take out carb if there’s anything I can do with it in machine.
i have a 98 quadrunner 500 4x4, I picked it up from the original owner with only 307 miles on it, he put a new carb on it, petcock, new starter and solenoid, it tries to start, its getting plenty of spark, I'm thinking fuel related. I know its getting fuel into the carb, how do I go about adjusting it? thank you
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports I bought a stock carb. how do I remove the old one? I cant seem to figure it out? im confused a bit with the lines on top of the carb. it has like hard lines not fuel hoses.
My quad runner 500 Ltf when I give full throttle it chokes out and has a rich fuel smell but if I let out of throttle it runs fine have already rebuilt the carb with new carb kit
If the diaphram and jets check out, make sure the correct jets are used and not reversed. I had a bogging when giving it throttle. Turned out the main jet and pilot jet were reversed
I have the same issue on my 04 eiger 400 4x4. Would this be the same or very similar process on my carb or will there be many differences? Thanks for being thorough in this video.
Before the Suzuki oem petcock even went bad I replaced it on my 2005 Suzuki Eiger with a on/off/res oem petcock that was for a Yamaha Raptor 660. I wanted a petcock you could shut the fuel off when done riding. Worked perfect, plug and play so to speak. The hardest thing about that switch out was draining the 3/4 full fuel out and I think that took less then 5 minutes with my handy dandy shaker tube fuel extractor.
@@jeremysimpson5155 Your welcome,if you do the Yamaha Raptor 660 petcock mod to your Eiger be sure and get the OEM factory Yamaha petcock. I believe I got one that fit a 2003 Yamaha Raptor 660, it fit my 05 Eiger perfect. There are cheap look--a-likes for $8-15 bucks that will start leaking pretty quick. I believe I paid $30-35 bucks for the OEM off Ebay that I got. It's been working fine for close to two years now and even though I have the 660 Raptor mod petcock I'll still shut off my fuel supply and run the remaining fuel out of the carb when I'm done riding for the day. Ha,ha my shaker tube to extract gas from my tank stopped working, I think it must have got a pin hole in it some where, IDK.
Yea bud I think you missed it all together. Prolly won’t nothing wrong with that carb. Need to replace the petcock. They’re junk. No way to actually turn the fuel off. It’s either on or prime. And if you leave it on prime you’re gonna fill up the crankcase. And are you totally against carb cleaner? I would’ve taken the diaphragm out and sprayed everywhere then backed it up with nitrogen. Just my two cents.
Thanks buddy. I needed a refresher. It's been 25 years. I appreciate it. God bless.

Very well done video!👍 Helped me a lot to understand my recently acquired Suzuki quad. Thx!!😀
Very good video! One of the better videos I have seen on this ! Thanks
What is the brass cylinder next to the pilot jet? Do you need to clean the hole in it? Don't seem like it was cleaned?
the carb kit listed in your amazon link come sup as one for an artic cat and amazon says it wil not fit my 1998 suzuki ltf500f quadrunner.

@@tomclark3592 well yeah do t do that. Wtf.
Just 2 1/2 turns out and adjust the idle to a good idle. Leave it.

Did you mean. through.
How do you remove the spring from the choke cable side of the carb
What about the air fuel screw

@@MidNebraskaMotorsports thanks for.replying and info. Heard it's a beast to get out & tight fit. Gonna have to get r done.
You should never non take the carb off for carb issues. Theres no (carb clean in a can)
Hey my Vinson 500 starts great but Boggs out under any kind of load
I got it figured out by watching your video so thank you now it Boggs when the air cleaner lid is on if it’s off it runs great
Same one that was in it just cleaned it up
Is there a better brand I should get
@@jerrellrice6384 nope just clean your carb. Clean your damn air filter more often too
Got a question for a suzuki 500 98quad runner it smells like it's burning rich but not burning oil any suggestions

My pilot jet screw is stripped out. Where could I buy a new one? That is the only piece I need.

Google should help. Smh

Petcock issue not a carb issue. Had to deal with it with my Vinson first hand. Those vacuum Petcocks are junk and aren’t rebuildable.

Or stupid fuel pump diaphragm is busted and vac line from fuel pump to intake and filling cylinder
I came here to find out what the brass stem is. It got completely ignored. LOL
