Hello all!,

I have a 1996 Suzuki QuadRunner LT4wd. I recently purchased it in current state "Broken". I couldnt get it started so I removed the carb and completely cleaned it out. It now starts up fine but will only stay running if the starter button is pushed in. This will burn up the starter if ran for any length of time. What could be wrong? Im thinking it must be electrical. By the way I'm a newbie here and this is my first post!yaaay!

you have a wire either shorted out or loose at the ingition switch.
most likely.  or even a shorted ignition switch.
