I just got a 83 ATC200 and it started for a few seconds and dies. The previous owner put a new carb on and i think the mixture and screws are all set wrong. Is there any pre set number of turns out i can set the adjustment screws on to get it started. I also pulled the plug i get spark but when pulling it gas shoots out of the cylinder. Any ideas. Thanks as always

Thanks for the info im going to give it a try. The mixture screw should be 2 1/4 out is that right. Thanks for the Help

The small pilot screw in front of the fuel bowl should be turned about one and a half turns out. You may want to remove the fuel bowl to look for something obvious---like stuck float or needle valve. If it's a Keihin carb the main jet may be a #110. Slow jet may be a #35 or 40.
