I own a 2002 Can-Am Quest 650.
It will start if you massage the throttle a bit and it will continue to run. BUT if you let go of the throttle and try to let it idle it will always die warm or cold.
It has Non-Oxy premium gas, a new gapped NGK plug, a good CVT belt, a new carb (as of today) and fresh fluids. After installing the new carb it runs exactly the same.
I only have a few things that I have observed since the new carb:

I only have a few things that I have observed since the new carb:
- The choke still doesn't do anything. It has a good cable and it is hooked up. It is fully off.
- There is a cable in the top, front of the engine that splits into two connectors. The connected side (Top image) is the Oil pressure switch. The other side has the yellow banded section and is not connected. I do not see anything in range of this connector so I don't know if this is normal or not???
- The original carb wasn't really dirty or clogged. I'll use it as a spare.
- I don't see this cable and connectors listed in the Can-Am shop manual. Looking for some help.
