I stood my Raptor up on the grab bar today doing wheelies and after i put it back down I couldnt give it any gas for a few minutes without it dieing. I know why it did it but I didnt think that would happen. Does this happen to everyone?

 

I've stood mine on the grab bar when working on it and soaked the filter with gas but never had a problem while riding. If your having a problem while riding check your float level.

 

turn off your gas at the petcock and drain your fuel out of the float bowls before you stand it up.

 

He said it happened doing wheelies... this has never happened to me before, what is the reason you think it happened stoppie.... since you said you know why

 

Well I though maybe I flooded it???

 

my bad. cant focus with my current hangover.

 

It has happened to me - I was pulling a broke 4-seater buggy out of the dunes (Raptor Power to the rescue [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]) and the strap was kinda low on the buggy. I wheelied up a small crest and stood it on the grab bar. I plopped off, and the bike stood there. It wouldnt run right for a couple minutes after that - I figured it was flooded.....it cleared up and was fine.

 

Everytime I stood my quad up on the rear grab bar to work on it, it would leak gas into the airfilter if I didn't previously turn off the petcock and run the float bowl dry. I imagine it will do the same thing when you are riding it. Next time this happens, take your seat off and sniff the filter. I bet it will be full of gas.
