I inherited this ATV a few months ago. It has been sitting for maybe 2 years. it started right up. It only runs with the choke on. I drained the old gas and cleaned the tank. took the carb out and cleaned it and gave it a carb soak. Noticed it had no gaskets so I ordered a refurbish kit. Just in case I ordered a new Chinese replacement carb also. I put the old carb after rebuild on the shelf for emergency. I installed the new carb and it fired right up. My only issue is the idle is way to high and the throttle adjustment on the outside of the carb is all the way out. for the record also I was told the last time it was ran it fell out of the truck going down the road and the handle bars are tweaked pretty hard so i got a solid used perfect match and switched those out also. It is amazing how little outward damage it took! So far everything is working perfectly and everything is straight. Is there another throttle adjustment that can be done with out tearing everything apart again?

Thanks all!

I'm with retro. Not much cure for knock off parts. I know pain of buying a new carb and all. But I would've worked on that carb as much as you can before buying a new one. Put old carb on and let us know what happens and we'll help you out
I'm with Retro and Johnny. Buy a new carb.
Me and retro don't think you should buy new carb haha. Put old one on and let's fix it
