Greetings, I read your question and I think heavy-equipmentmanual.com can help you in this. Here's the site link - https://www.heavy-equipmentmanual.com/
The number 1 problem with ATVs is the carburetor. This could be a mixture problem... too rich will cause backfiring and difficulty starting as the carb needs more air. Try leaning it down a 1/8 turn. The choke is always intended to be used when starting; if you don't need to use the choke, the card is definitely running too rich. If you can't adjust to make it behave properly, then rebuild the carb, It's not difficult.. get a new throttle spring and float too. Ensure you place the keeper clip on the correct groove of the needle valve... where the throttle cable connects. Replace all the jets and gaskets... don;t get them mixed up. One larger jet is the primary jet and the smaller one, is the secondary. Get new screws, if the screws are a bit dog eared. Write down your previous mixture settings and start from there to adjust the mixture for starting and assure a slightly skipped idle. (Don't worry as you add throttle it will run smoothly.)
Does your artic cat have a carb cable if so it will have an adjustment or a clamp on the cable where it attaches to the linkage..check make sure it is set to low idle..and your idle screw is adjusted to low idke..meaning cable adjusted to lowest possible position when the throttle is released..then make your final adjustment using you idle screw..good luck
Adjustment screw is located on bottom of carb in the column right behind where is attaches at the intake. 1 1/2 turns out is a good starting point. Also the choke could be stuck on. That model uses an electric choke. Usually these do not need to be adjusted. Choke removes easily with just a keeper that slides in to hold it. Clean with carb cleaner.
yes but I would also suspect the carbs we not cleaned fully. main jets and emulsion tubes as well as the idle air circuit... these all are important for proper operation. you will need to pull the idle mixture screws out as well.... if they are plugged from the factory you need to drill into them and use an easy out to remove them
