Post Fourwheeler question
Little off topic from the norm but I have a Kawasaki praise 650. I took it in last year to be worked of because carb and throttle was acting up spent a pretty penny and not a year later already acting up again. Since it's already actin up again I'm not about to throw more money to those fools. Got one of my good friends knows pretty much everything about carbs and motors. What it did was crank up fine but u give it any gass it would die out now u could pull the choke and could get going about 20 "1/4" throttle before it dies out. From that sounded like the carb. My friend took apart the carb cleaned it out which was pretty nasty. With all that cleaned out thought that would work putting it back together exactly how it was it would barely start messin around with a few hose come to find out coolant is going into the float tube housing. Thats where I'm completely baffled never heard of it. But could find any other line to hook them up to. Now I'm thinkin thats why it wasn't runin right in the first place. Anyways just seein what y'all think but no way in hel that sounds right.

The coolant lines do not run into the bowls. They go on the two black lines between the bowls. It acts like a carb warms

check for air leeks. start it and let idle, spray carb cleaner around the boots and carb. we had a kawa that had the same issue and found a cracked boot. these were the very hard rubber boots and you couldnt see the crack until it was off the motor.
