Here are the tools you will need
1. Carb cleaner
2. Clean rag
3. Medium sized philips and standard screwdrivers
4. Small or medium sized adjustable wrench

1.First Get your tools together.

2.Remove the pilot jet (idle jet) and spray with carb cleaner. (remember how many turns it is out from being all the way in if you dont know how to adjust it.)

3.Heres what it looks like, There is a small spring that sits on the end of it. Dont lose it and make sure to reinstall it.

4.Remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the carb that hold on the float bowl (be careful these have been known to strip very easily)

5.This is what you should see. The brass nut in the center is your main jet. (usually this will get gummed up or clogged, spray this whole area with carb cleaner but try to avoid the gasket)

6.Remove the main jet and plastic shroud and spray them (the jets are usually brass so be careful)

7.Here is the main jet (has a number stamped on it which is the main jet size. The bigger the number the bigger the hole to allow more fuel flow)

8.Here is the inside of the top of the carb. Make sure you spray out the inside of the needle jet real good as well as were the carb slide rubs.

9.Here is the slide, the notch in the slide needs to line up with the pin in the picture above for proper installation.

10.Spray out the overflow tube with carb cleaner

11. Dont forget this one too.

12. For cleaning your choke pull this little rubber peice back

13.Use your adjustable wrench to unscrew the nut holding the choke in

14. Pull out the choke and spray it with carb cleaner

pull the spark plug out and hold it next to the hole and try and turn over your quad and if the plug sparks then your got spark :)
