I've been working on my '04 Sportsman 400. It doesn't want to idle without the choke on, at least partially. It starts right away, but as the choke automatically goes in it starts to idle roughly and then sputters out. I bought this a few weeks ago and so far have replaced: air filter, fuel filter, gas in the tank, spark plug, oil change.
After its been driven around a bit it seems to idle better - but initially I can't get it to idle at a low enough RPM to put it in to gear. I have to push the choke in, wait for the RPMs to come down, throw it in gear and push the throttle quickly before the engine dies.
Looking for some direction as to what to explore/change. Thanks!
