New to the forum and I apologize for the long post, but here goes.....
My brother has an 07 Scrambler 500. He had carb issues with his old carb, so he decided to buy a new one. We put the brand new carb in, and it still has gas leaking out of the overflow when the quad is running.
We took the carb off and apart. Checked everything including float height. Put it back on, and the problem is still there.
He has a 1 year warranty on the carb, so I told him to just get another new one. My question is, if we get another new one and the problem still persists, what next?
He also has one more strange issue. When he comes up to a stop on the trails, the quad will die. We have adjusted the idle speed many times, but it does not solve the problem. When he is sitting at idle and the fan kicks on, the idle drops to the point the quad will die. Should we be replacing the voltage regulator or looking at the stator?
Any help on these 2 issues, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
