So I have a 2000 conquest with the Kawasaki engine. Was out with the family, and it was running beautiful as always and then just suddenly died. No clue, so I went through all the normal stuff. Getting fuel to the carb, have spark, air filter is good etc.. then I did a bit more digging. Seems the wire came off the solenoid? So I opened up the carb and there is this little brass piece that is trickling fuel into the butterfly. Like trickling, not spraying or dumping. Is this normal?... I was thinking about taking off the solenoid, and just putting a bolt in place to eliminate the fuel cutoff and see if that changes anything? I wanted to consult you experts first to see before I do anything drastic. And yes, the new solenoid is on it's way already haha. Just wanted to try the basics before I rip the entire carb apart. She turns over just fine, but won't fire up and idle, even if I hold the throttle on. I can smell gas, but not firing. Thoughts?
