Sportsman 500 idle issue

[elf]

I have a 2001 Sportsman 500 HO and it has a idle problem. I just had the carb off to replace the needle and seat and got it all back together and everything ran great. Now it won't idle. I have the idle adjust turned all the way in and if I just wiggle the throttle it ramps way up but if I let off it completely, it dies. Is there a throttle safety switch on the ATV's like there is on the sleds? Did I knock the throttle cable out of adjustment? It idled perfectly after I put it back together last week and over the weekend as I put the plow on and now its doing this.

Anybody got any great ideas?

There is a throttle override switch up top. The cable needs to be adjusted just right or it won't idle. back your idle screw out of the carb some and adjust your cable freeplay. you'll get it

Thanks, I'll try that tonight.
