I love the how to videos and the way they answer most of their replies. This doesn't happen on most channels. Great work!

Same carb on my 08 500. Thanks for the vid. Bike was running kinda bad Friday, wouldn't start Monday day. Watched this then took mine apart and cleaned with compressed air and carb cleaner, runs better than ever now. Had tiny pieces of the old air filter that was coming apart clogging jets/ports.

Thanks for taking the time to make a video of this, much appreciated.

By far, the best DIY video on carb mechanics that I have watched. Not sure my issue with black spark plug is related but really enjoyed, and will save, this video. Thank you!

Thank you very much. Loved your quick informative video. Very helpful. 2005 Artic cat 400 4x4 auto sitting 4 or 5 years. Only has 24 hours on it. Just started cleaning.

Awesome detailed video sir! I have a 300, but my carb is identical. I went ahead and bought a new carb (only $15 more than a rebuild kit) and am going to calibrate it to your specs when I do the install this weekend. Not a motor head, just a DIYer trying to get a used toy ready for my son and your specifics will be a great help. Very grateful you took the time to do this for everyone. -Joe

Stellar job. On the bowl, there is a overflow nipple, where do you attach a hose to it and where does the other end of the hose goes to?

@MidNebraskaMotorsports

Hose is attached to the nipple on the bowl. The other end runs down your crankcase and just dangles there so any drips of fuel ends up on the ground (or evaporating before it gets to the ground) Thanks for watching and the comment.

Very good video. My carb does not have a hose on the over flow on the bowl. When I get one how long and where does it connect on the other end to? Mine has a slight leak from the nipple, maybe because there is no hose.

U are the man!!!

I have an 01 400 and I'm about to take mine apart hopefully this saves me 100 dollars granted whoever put this thing together put rtv on the diaphragm lid so that's going to be real fun

Great Video. I have an 2004 Eiger 400, same carb I assume. should the float be level ?

Hello there, my son just bought a 1999 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 ATV and it runs real rich, also leaks fuel into the crankcase after it sits. When running it gets so rich it coats the spark plug with black ash so bad it won’t start anymore. It is missing the over flow needle and throttle linkage cover plate. It has a black plastic/foam material float. The throttle cable connection area is a lil different in design. I did adjust the float so it would close sooner however it still doesn’t seem to close at all. Please help if you can. Thanks, great video!

Thx man sure was helpful

Great video! The carb on a 2016 Alterra 400 is identical, except the air fuel screw cannot be adjusted, it has no screw head and appears factory sealed. My problem is the carb leaks out the overflow about once a month over the spring-summer-fall when it is used but I cannot figure out why as everything is clean (I have also installed an aftermarket fuel filter on the fuel line from tank to carb) and it leaked 2 days after installing a carb kit. I take it apart, clean everything, put it back together and its good for a while, then it overflows again, and I repeat the process. Sadly, your video didn't help solve my problem, but it is an excellent video.

@@kristianturner131 Sorry, I can't confirm I have solved the problem as I put the quad away for the winter in November 2022, but it hadn't leaked for a while before I put it away. I dumped the fuel tank and cleaned it out to ensure no debris inside, changed the fuel hose in case it was deteriorating, put a better in line fuel filter on the fuel hose (I had been using one for a lawn mower that was 40 micron but got one at 10 micron) and put a new float valve that I got from the arctic cat dealer and not from a generic carb kit. The quad seemed to run better and it didn't leak for weeks where it had been leaking after a week or so after cleaning it previously. I'll see what happens in the coming spring to fall when it gets used again.

I have an 04 articcat fis 4x4 manual getting spark got the timing set flywheel magnets are in place and woodruff key is good even sprayed starting fluid in and cannot get it to start any ideas on the issue or maybe sensors that could keep it from starting? Any help would be appriciated

I have an 02 or 03 400 MT. We bought it as a leftover but since new, the quad never would idle during winter. We would need to run it hard for a few minutes to prevent stalling out. Do you think I should replace the pilot jet with something different?

Hi I have a 2015 arctic cat 400 I clean carburetor twice and I did a pressure test the the needle and seat and no leaks I put it back to get best kind after just seat there it will leak gas out of the overflow on bottom of carburetor I been at small engine a long while this one got me stumped

Hi I just installed a new aftermarket carb on my 366, Runs fine, Idle is fine. While I am driving along if I give it full Throttle it seems like it starts to bog, if I ez into it I can get to full speed, with no bog. Do you think I need to adjust the air screw in 1/4 turn? Or out? Thanks

So my son has a 250 cat and we are doing his carb my only question is the air screw -he took it out without checking how many turns i see yours was 2-1/2 turns out , is there someplace where i can find the spec for the 250 ? Or is 2-1/2 turns the same on all of them thanks

I just bought a 2004 Arctic Cat 300 4x4 & on my carburetor there’s a small gap because of a bolt missing and air is able to get through where that lever is around 19 seconds into your video..can that be the cause of my Arctic Cat shutting off after I make a stop?

I have an Artic cat 400 that's been sitting for a couple of years because it quit running. I finally bought a new carb and it will start but instantly goes dead and then won't fire again until I let it sit for a few minutes. Any ideas?

Excellent video. I am just curious is the carb on a 2004 arctic cat ATV a Keihin CVK34? I've gotten some conflicting information about whether its a Keihin CVK34 or a Keihin CVK32.

I have the 1999 300, only idles with choke on, will run mid and full throttle with out choke but sputter. Runs perfectly with full choke all rpm. Any suggestions on what to clean?

Nice video! How do you take the choke cable off?

THANKS

This carb looks very similar to the carb on my 2008 Suzuki King Quad 400 (LTF400F). Might be the same carb.

I just followed your video step by step Thanks for this video. My issue is with the PILOT JET. I can not see through it and can not get any wire through it. Even micro sized wire. Should I be able to see through this jet?

@MidNebraskaMotorsports

Yes, if you can't see through it at then your atv won't idle /run correctly. You can replace it. Most dealerships will have a jet for a couple bucks just make sure it is the correct size OR send it here and I will free it up! Let me now. The pilots can be frustrating. Thanks for watching.

Can you explain how to do a carburetor slide mod by drilling the 1/8” hole? And when this is done, should there 3 or 4 coils cut off the spring? Can a needle shim be put in this carb? If so, does the main jet need to be changed?

My only guess was a “cold aid start” in brutal conditions even though cold fuel wants to stay in liquid form but still it’s a pump shot to the Venturi

Why is gas running out of the bottom of the carborator? I had this happen last year. I took the 2001 panther 440 to a small engine shop to get fix last year, I only put on 70 miles, and gas is running straight through the overflow again on the bottom side of the carborator.

Your needle/ seat is bad or stuck open. There is a chance it is your float, but typically these don’t go bad. My guess is, when they re-installed your carb, When they put the fuel line back on, it broke a piece of fuel line off and it ran into the needle area and was lodged. Allowing fuel to flow freely. Thanks for watching. Let us know if that works!

I just got a Arctic Cat 400 to fix a no spark issue. After getting spark I had to clean the carb for the machine to start. Now it will start but I have to play with the throttle and it is running terribly. Black smoke coming out of tail pipe. What did I do wrong?

@@MidNebraskaMotorsports The owner put the updated flywheel and stator kit on the machine before bringing it to me to find what else was wrong. I diagnosed a CDI problem and changed that, fixes their wiring issues and was able to get spark. I cleaned the carb, changed the fuel in the tank, found that the electric choke was busted fixed that. Then I put a new spark plug in it and it still runs bad. One thing I did notice was when I pull the power wire off of the coil it sparks really bad? Also I have the push button/starter switch off of the machine due to corroded wires. I am waiting for new one to arrive. Right now I am jumping wires in the harness to get it to start, I wonder if that is causing some of this? Sorry this is so long. By the way I subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your time.
