2016 Rhino will not cold start.

JMG · 12-21-2019, 07:43 PM

As the title says, my sons once reliable Rhino now no longer starts in cold weather without lots of starter fluid. Even then itll run for a few minutes and quit, and will not start without fluid. Battery dies before it gets up to temp. I haven't had time to mess with it much other than play with the one screw adjustment and that does nothing.

I want to get him an after market carb for xmas. I know its last minute, but we finally gave up on it tonight after a week of trying. What carb and where can I get one from? Anything I need to modify in order to get it mounted and running quickly?

Thanks!

I had the same problems, No more.
I added a small washer under the needle for more fuel and drilled out the brass plug for the mixture screw, popped out the plug with a pick tool. The mixture screw got 2.5 turns. It now starts with 1/2 choke after sitting out all night in 15* weather.

Kids killed the battery fighting with the old carb setting now it’s fine. The garage is heated no choke needed when parked inside.
