[Shop-talk] Engine idling problem

[eric at megageek.com]

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.
