1996 Sportsman 400 Help!
I am trying to revive a Sportsman 400 2-stroke but I am having a few problems. It was sitting up for a while so I cleaned carb and drained gas. After installing the carb, the engine takes a minute to start up and it will only start if I give it throttle and pull the choke in and out. After it does finally start it jumps to almost wide open throttle without the throttle being pressed. I have checked the throttle cable and it seems to be free moving and I have the idle screw backed almost all the way out, but still no change. When it does this, I cannot kill it. I turn the key off and switch the kill switch and it keeps running. The only way it stops is if I hit the throttle and then kill it. I am not sure if it is the etc and if so how do I test it or if the slide is not closing in the carb. any help or ideas would be appreciated. I need a fresh set of eyes ob this problem
