Our 2001 Warrior started giving fits the other day.It was running great when the boy left on it but an hour later it was cutting out and wouldnt rev up.It starts great and idles great but when you give it gas it starts cutting out and if you dont let off it dies.
So far I have took the carb off twice and everything is clean and ok.Changed plug,set the timing marks right on the money and set the valve to specks they werent out much.It acts like a Polaris hitting the rev limiter in reverse but I dont see and limiter.Could the CDI cause this?And is there any way to check it.
Or has anyone had this happen

 

Thanks to the search feature on these forums and a smart a$$ like me(I give responses just like that in the Polaris forum) I found the problem.THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH WAS BAD.THANKS A LOT

 

Thats a pretty common problem on the Warriors. If you don't have any use for the PB (which most don't) just remove it and block it off at the caliper as it is prone to dragging.

 

Yeah, the parking brake is a joke. Usually after 2 rides they don't work anymore. Maybe we need to start a poll on who actually uses them?

 

I don't know anyone that does.

I use mine all the time. It helps me keep it in place on the trailer til I get the Scooter Tied down.

Next..... LOL

(Just funnin' but I do use it to tie down. I load and unload 3 of them by myself all the time,......It helps a lot)

 

That's cool. If my engine is off I just pop it in gear. If my engine is running and I want to get off on a hill, I just shut it off and make sure it is in gear.
