Why is my Kawasaki 360 Prairie cutting out?

Why is my Kawasaki 360 Prairie cutting out?

If it is bogging at speed from a rich condition, and not the fuel valve (choke), I suspect someone used a jump starting charger or running automobile and killed the Igniter, or the battery will not pass a load test. It also could be stator or regulator breakdown reducing the current to the Igniter and coil.

What’s the temp on a Kawasaki 360 Prairie?

BTW, the temps here are 30 to 40 degrees. That should lean it out some vs. hotter temps, yet it still seems rich on top. The float level in the carb appears to be OK, or at least not too high. Everything is in new condition on this bike.

Why does my 360 Prairie cut out at full throttle?

At full throttle it cuts out. If I shut the fuel off and run it out wide open it will run clean as it’s running out of fuel. That tells me it’s rich. If I pull the airbox lid off, it will run clean wide open, although it’s lean in the midrange without the lid. I know it’s running rich on top.

What’s the bar code on a Kawasaki 360 Prairie?

It was not sugared inside the carb, but was lacquered a bit. I’ve gone through the quad front to back, adjusting the valves and changing all fluids, new battery, etc. The machine has hardly any run time on it. Heck, it still had the bar code sticker on it from the dealer. I shimmed the needle .050″ to richen up the midrange.

The 360 is the largest air-cooled engine Kawasaki produces, the brand-new motor has the cylinder head angled at 45 degrees in order to produce a lower center of gravity and to produce more ground clearance. The power plant uses a 2.3 L. wet-sump, forced lubrication system and a large oil cooler with fan assist.
