What are the settings for a Kawasaki Bayou 220?
The fuel mixture screw is 1 & 1/4 to 1 & 3/4 turns out, if it needs to be out more or less than that you have other issues such as jetting issues or an air leak. I set them at 1 & 1/2, install fresh plugs take several high speed passes, then read the plug to determine rich or lean condition. and adjust jetting & the screw from there.
What causes low compression on a Kawasaki Bayou 220 carburetor?
You have a vacuum operated petcock that relies on engine vacuum to get fuel to the carb. The low compression could be a result of worn piston rings(unlikely as the quad runs well once running) or more likely valves that need adjusted. We then need to consider the possibility of a leaking choke assembly(air leak) or intake boot leak.
What causes a Kawasaki Bayou 220 to backfill?
More likely causes are as follows – a poorly tuned Kawasaki Bayou 220 carburetor, incorrect valve timing, or reducing your engine speed too quickly. Any of these problem sources cause the exhaust system to surge. Setting the idle screw too low (the perfect formula to running rich) can also trigger backfiring.
