Hey guys need help. I bought an 05 kfx 700. Let me start by saying I love this quad!!!. With that said I have been having trouble keeping it running when I come to a stop. Then when I try to start it I have to keep on the gas for it to stay on. Sometimes it idles fine then other times I have to keep giving it gas for it to stay on. Once I get going it runs like a screamin deamon. I thought maybe the idle was messed up but not sure. I live in PA and it was like 65 today. Went out started it it idled fine. Drove it around the yard came into the garage and it turned off before I came to a stop. The quad sat for awhile before I got it . Still has the original tires. I thought maybe I just need to get on it for a full day and see if that helps. I might try to flush all the old gas and maybe change the filters. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

try cleaning out the carburetor
there is a post under atv riding titled carb cleaning 101.

once you have it cleaned out if it sdoesn't improve let me know and we'll work on adjusting the fuel/air mixture.
