Buying used has its downsides. The PO of my 2001 Magnum 325 4x4 either put things back on wrong or not at all. I have been busy fixing his misdeeds. My current problem is it is missing the bracket that attaches the carburetor to the frame.
I have never seen an off road vehicle that attached the carb to the frame. And I own(or have owned) many of different makes. This is new to me. My question is it really necessary? It seems firmly mounted to the engine and the airbox(which is firmly mounted to the frame).
I have cleaned and adjusted the carb and it works fine except after hours of riding it will flood on long idle. Simple solution is don't idle. I shut it off when sitting for awhile and restart and it works fine.
My second question is the fuel pump really necessary? Again I believe gravity fuel feed is more common in ORVs. Anyone tried bypassing the pump and feeding directly from the fuel switch to the carb?
Lastly does anyone have a carb bracket they would like to sell? They aren't much at the dealer, so I may order one.
