[quadwanter]

Ok soooo one weekend i was riding my bike...airfilter came off...probably rode it for a while like this in semi dusty conditions. Bike runs perfect but there was crap in the airboot. Thats the jist of the story. Now i want to clean out the carb because im pretty sure its got stuff in it. Its my first quad so i've never taken one apart but im not an idiot sooo..could someone give me some what of an idea of how to start and then what to do once i have the carb off? Thanks in advance

REMOVE YOU REAR FENDERS AND FRONT FENDERS AND FRONT SHROUDS. SHUT YOUR GAS OFF AND TAKE OFF YOUR GAS TANK. IT WILL MAKE IT ALOT EASIER. SOUNDS LIKE ALOT, BUT NOT REALLY. DISCONNECT WIRES ON CARB COMIMG FROM FUEL HEATER AND TPS SENSOR . THEY ARE IN A WIRE HOLDER ON THE TOP OF THE FRAME LEFT SIDE ,SITING ON BIKE RIGHT BEHIND WHERE GAS TANK ENDS AT. REMOVE THE HOTSTART CABLE GOING IN TOP OF CARB. LOOSEN INTAKE MANIFOLD CLAMP AND REMOVE CARB. TAKE OFF THROTTLE ASSEM,COVER. BLACK COVER ON SIDE OF CARB . REMOVE THROTTLE CABLE, AND YOUR OFF. REMOVE FUEL BOWL ON BOTTOM OF CARB TO SEE IF ANYTHING GOT IN THERE. TAKE THE TOP COVER OFF OF CARB. THE SLIDE IS THERE REMOVE AND CLEAN. THATS THE MAIN THING TO CLEAN. IT MIGHT OF GOT IN FUEL BOWL BUT I DOUBT IT . JUST BE CAREFUL TAKING CARB APART DO IT ON A BENCH OR SOMETHING SO YOU DON'T LOSE ANYTHING. AND JUST IT BACK TOGETHER. HAVE FUN. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK. I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER. IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE DONE MINE SO I'LL LOOK AT MINE TONIGHT TO HELP YOU. RICK
