Suzuki King Quad 300 Cheap Muffler Fix

[@AppalatchieRaised]

I’d saved a video of yours a year or so back and needed it. Was a carb issue. You are about the only guy on KZbin that maintains a old 300. More of these please ha. Corner the market 👍

[@sewaploretta1373]

I really like your videos on working on these king quads

[@bro.weaver1282]

YES! my exhaust was rusted to hell, and man factory exhaust replacement is $$$! NO aftermarket exhaust exist.

[@philbabin6315]

Excellent job as usual. Keep up the good work and keep listening to your Grampa.

[@johnkomosa4089]

Ah ha.😄 great fix, that would go over very well in Wisconsin my home state, and plenty of beer cans available. Hello from Alaska. I have a 87/88 250 quad (muffler) to fix. Good job. Stay cool. Ride on.

[@security225]

Welded my 91 this fall, and used exaust cement to plug up any small hole. And finished with Hi temp paint. It ain't pretty but probably give er a couple more years

[@Schneids15]

In the end it is a 20+ year old atv and you are keeping it going. That is what matter’s the most. Josh

[@JIMNORTON-fm6fl]

Hey Josh, I have learned a ton from your videos. Great work. Thanks. I too have a '97 King Quad 300, also gray which I bought new. Great machine. Please help me if you can. Barely runs, skips, hard to start, very low power -- unrideable, backfires, black smoke at start-up, runs only at high throttle, dry fouls plug quickly, dies after 30 seconds. I have eliminated the following: 1) Stuck choke 2) Low compression. (Consistently at 165psi) 3) Fuel delivery system 4) Ignition coil (Replaced with OEM) 5) Magneto / Stator, Pick-up Coil 6) Carburetor (Cleaned and replaced jets, caskets, etc. I tried pilot setting at 2-1/4, 2-1/2 turns out and 2-5/8 turns out.) 7) Voltage regulator / rectifyer 8) Valve adjustment I have not eliminated: 1) Unlevel carb float 2) Rust obstruction in muffler (Muffler shown only minor rust.) Is it time to buy a CDI? Jim

[@Schneids15]

Hey Jim. I wonder if your timing chain has skipped? Could be worth checking as you seem to be handy and should be capable i would think.

[@JIMNORTON-fm6fl]

I considered that but discounted that possibility because the problems came on somewhat slowly over time. To be certain of chain timing would involve accessing the TDC mark and checking that the piston is actually at TDC. Is that correct? Keep the videos coming. These are great old machines old enough now to need some work. Thanks, Jim @@Schneids15

my friend has a kingquad 300 not sure what year it is but my 1989 quadrunner has quite a bit more low end torque than his bike. Not sure why. We did clean the carb and adjust the valves and his exhaust is good. We also checked that all hoses and stuff was good to the airbox and snorkel. Only difference is that i have a different carb on my bike. previous owner put a mikuni carb on my bike from a snowmobile i think.

[@charlesc870]

I have a 99 King Quad in Louisiana and I love it! Thanks for the info on the carb, oil screen and muffler. I'll probably use a Dixie Beer can on the muffler. chuck

[@randymcarthur7945]

great video.my 300 king quad has same muffler problem ,would a lack of backpressure cause intermittent smoking

[@Schneids15]

It could if the smoke is black.

[@acarius69]

my 97 or 98 get super hot the exaust manifol get red cherry up front there even a big fan too cool it off it that normal?

[@JuliusElite]

I have the same year and mine doesn't do that

[@Schneids15]

That is an extra lean condition. I had my blue one do that. Check your oil pump strainer. I have a video on how to do it. Mine would get red and i tried everything with carb jetting and still lean. I cleaned the oil strainer and it fixed it right away. Check out my video on it.

[@scottsmith507]

@@Schneids15 cleaned my 300 today, couldn't believe how much debris on screen! Great advice. Just bought, has 3900 miles 1994.

[@chriskelly9653]

Having been trying to find this topic of replacing an oil temp sensor with no luck . Could you do a video on this or someone else reading this. I have 2002 King quad and my sensor is lighting up even when engine is cool in the garage so it must be a sensor issue. Any help would be appreciated.

[@chriskelly9653]

Yeah I just discovered a linear hole in my exhaust in the tailpipe section. Is that tailpipe piece just a pipe or does it have some internal stuff ,ie. smaller pipe in the center.

[@kriswilson484]

Good job dude , that's a MacGyver exhaust if I ever seen one lol

[@Schneids15]

Ahahaha that’s what i thought😂

[@jessyrk08]

Awesome videos, thanks for making them! I just bought a 2000 here in Cincinnati, Ohio over the summer that had 1,500 miles and literally had zero rust. What is the bolt for directly underneath the muffler? I purchased a pdf service manual for it online and it doesn’t say.

[@Schneids15]

Hey! That is great! The bolt is a cleanout for back in the day if mud etc got in it. I would not attempt to remove it because it will likely break off.

[@jessyrk08]

@@Schneids15 thank you sir for the quick response! Your videos are greatly appreciated.

[@Samestori214]

Hey thanks for the video I have the 97 quad runner 250 2 wheel drive does it have a cooling system I think I have a overheating problem but I don't know where the radiator is can you help?

[@Schneids15]

Hey no cooling system. There is a oil cooler at the front that you could check to see if it is clogged with mud

[@Samestori214]

@@Schneids15 .. thanks for responding. Looks like I just need to do a oil change. Saw your video on it good info. My biggest problem is that the front brakes on my 97 quad 250 have been deleted and I can't find all the hardware to replace them. I got the cylinders coming thanks for the part number. Any idea where I can get all the other spring and levers that controls the front brakes?

[@Brandon-ho8br]

Awesome video quick question how are them tires to run on your machine im picking up a 93 quadrunner 250 that still has factory tires that are pretty warn down Thanks

[@Schneids15]

Honestly if i could buy them new again o would. They are wore down but still get me everywhere i want to go without issues.

[@Brandon-ho8br]

Ok awesome im thinking these tires or the kenda bear claws still undecided will most definitely post videos of the bike when I get it

[@Schneids15]

The dunlops on my blue one are my favourite. The mud lites crawl so good i love them. Bear claw are popular too!

[@Brandon-ho8br]

Yeah I cant wait to pick up the bike it is 4wd as well I had a 2wd when I was younger and couldn't get it stuck I was running the bear claws back then

[@Brandon-ho8br]

What size are the mud lites youre running

[@jakegunter635]

Is it more responsive than it was?

[@Schneids15]

I wouldn’t say more responsive but has a lot more torque

[@sewaploretta1373]

I got a something my quad looks like its gonna break on the back balljoints

[@ghulamabbas-qq5lm]

sir nice video

[@Schneids15]

Thank you!

[@Splitshot1]

[@johnowen9564]

I have a 96 king quad i need the 2 rear drive shaft couplers or as we call them universal joints i was wondering if you had a part No. for them i cant seem to get them over here in the uk i may be able to cross reference them ,cheers
