carb problem

[wckedclownz69]

Welp i got another carb problem... I get my new jet and pipe this week so i need to figure out whats wrong...My quad wont start unless the choke is on or the hotstart is held in... if u shut the choke off.. the quad shuts off.. and if u hold the hot start in without the choke on, it starts... but once u let the hot start off it shuts off... i can ride it but when i get into too low of rpms it wants to shut off, so i have to hold the hot start in, until i get going faster.. so idno whts wrong i need your help guys!!

thnx

You have a big problem...If I remember right the hot start leans it out and the chock richens it up so if this is the case which one. Try to turn your idle up a little and see if that works.

hmm is tht why ive been using a lot of oil lately? and i did turn it up .. didnt work... this is bs...

Sounds like you have clogged up pilot jet pull the carb off pull off the bowl remove the pilot and main and might as well tear the needle out to. Get a can of carb cleaner witha long straw and go to spraying out all the little tiny passages. You have something in there cloging it up. Also could be the main jet has worked it self loose causing fuel to go by the needle all the time causing a rich condition.

Yeah I'd go ahead and take the carb apart to see whats up in there. And like jkirk141 said, check your intake. If it was to tight it may cause this too.
