TROUBLESHOOTING
This troubleshooting guide is provided
to help you find the cause of some
common complaints.
CAUTION
Failure to troubleshoot a problem
correctly can damage your ATV.
Improper repairs or adjustments
may damage the vehicle instead of
fixing it. Such damage may not be
covered under warranty.
If you are not sure about the
proper action, consult your Suzuki
dealer about the problem.
COMPLAINT:
Engine is hard to start or does not
start at all.
Something is probably wrong with the
fuel system or ignition system.
FUEL SYSTEM CHECK

in the fuel tank.
2. Make sure there is enough fuel
reaching the carburetor from the

located under the carburetor.
Drain the fuel from the carbure-
tor into a container.
WARNING
Draining fuel from the carburetor
can be hazardous.
Fuel can catch on fire if you do not
handle it properly.
When draining the carburetor,
always shut the engine off. Do not
smoke, and never drain or refuel
in an area where there are open
flames or sparks. Do not spill the
fuel or you may create a fire haz-
ard. Dispose of drained fuel prop-
erly.
c. Tighten the drain screw.
d. Push the electric starter button
for a few seconds to turn the
engine.
e. Loosen the drain screw and
check that the carburetor is
filled back up with fuel.

the ignition system should be
checked next.
