[Shop-talk] Engine idling problem

[Pat Horne]

Have you asked the dealer service person? They might have run into this before. 

Peace,

I have a 2009 Kawasaki KingQuad 750 that I use for work on my property.  It's garage kept and I had it since it was new.  (so it's well taken care of.) 

Recently, I've had a problem with it starting and taking off  (it has an auto clutch and it dies when I try to put it under power.)  A search on the web has these problems listed from anything from a spark plug to a new computer (and none seems to have enough followup to let me know what works.) 

It got really bad and a new battery and plug seemed to fix it.  Problem is, it's starting to happen again just a few months later. 

Now, I really don't ever open the throttle up.  It's mostly used at slow speed or it's idling while I'm nearby.  I'm guessing this is part of the problem. 

Since it's such a beast, opening it up full throttle would take a small runway.  I did make a race track in one of my fields to run it more, but I was wondering if there was a better way. 

SO, my questions are... 

Is it my low speed/idling use that is causing the issue? 

Is there something else I can do to keep it from happening? 

Thanks in advance.
