Hey guys I just got back from going ridin with one of my buddies(who doesnt have a quad, he borrowed the trailblazer, but hes gettin ready to get a z400. Thanks for listining LOL) OK here is what happened:

We got the 4wheelers to the place, It had just rained and there was alot of mud and water everywhere, along with some really good-sized hills. We rode for about 30 minutes in mud, about a foot deep or so water steep hills, when all of a sudden the predator just died and wouldnt start back up. It would start up every now and then with the choke on, but as soon as I gave it any gas or took the choke of it would die. It had compression, and the battery for the electric start was very strong. It also had plenty of gas. My friend went to go get a chain to pull the pred back to the truck with a chain, but after about a minute I see him walking back to where I was saying the trailblazer dies right in some water, about 8 inches deep. It wouldnt start, there was plenty of compression and gas, and it woulnt start with the electric or pull start. So we had to go get his truck and go get them and go home.

Does anyone know whats wrong??? This really pi$$e$ me off, especiallyabout the not-even-a-month-old predator.

I think maybe there is some water in the carbs, I mean water was going everywhere when we were goin thro the water. If anyone knows whats wrong could you please explain what I need to do to get them running again and if there is anything I can do to prevent this from happening again.

PS The pred is a monster in the mud when it works!

 

take off the carbs on both machines clean them, maybe drain your gas tank, clean the airfilter put it all back together and see what happens, my best guess would be you got some water in your gas or carbs etc.
