 Gator won t idle

Gatordun, If I had a 4x2 that was sitting for nine years the first place I would go is the carb, It's gotta be plugged up. You have to take EVERYTHING out of and off the carb and clean ALL the passages with compressed air and carb cleaner. I would almost bet you have a plugged up air jet or air jet passage. Look down the barrel of your carb and you will see two small holes on either side at the base of the bell. They may have small jets in them or they may not. One side will line up with the air jet and the metering screw for the air/fuel mix. If they have jets in them, remove them. Make sure you keep them seperate so you can put them back the same way. Next in line is the air jet, take it out and you will see a hole on two or three sides of it. there is also a hole in the end. If you hold it in your fingers so you have one or two of the holes plugged you should be able to shoot carb cleaner thru the remaining hole and out the hole in the end. Rotate the jet and do this with all holes. Use a nozzle on your carb cleaner can and put directly over the hole. It should flow freely out that end hole. If you have to clear the end hole, use the smallest cleaner on a tourch tip cleaning set. The size of that hole is very critical so you don't want to change it with any probe. I think your problem is there. Next in line is the metering screw. Screw it in and count how many turns it takes to bottom out so you can put it back in the same position. After you remove the screw, shoot carb cleaner thru from the front to the back and blow out with compressed air. I would do it 8 to 10 times. Clean all the parts and put it back together and I think you will see a difference.
