well i was riding and it just died then it restarted and then it ran fine for about a week and then it did it again btu this time it made a funny nose like it was revving wiht out gas and then it died. then it owuld start with the choke and then it would run for about a half mile at less than half throttle. any idea whats wrong?

 

it was very warm at this point when it died and i was running hard at first then i was taking it easy just trying to get it home when it was dieng

 

never heard of anything like this before[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

I am not sure if the TB even has a fan, but my ATV used to do that. I had thought it was the battery going, or the charging system going bad.

My problem ended up being a temp sensor going bad. At first it was intermittent. It was allowing the fan to be on for long periods of time while riding and killing the battery in the process. Once it fully went bad, the fan would be on 100% of the time the ATV was turned on.

So it is at least something to check [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

no fan... i think it might be a bad plug

 

To add to what has already been said, Check the pitcock screen in your tank. It might be stopped up. Also Do you have a Fuel filter? that might be stopped up as well......Just a thought.

 

Also check your gas tank vent, my buddies's TB did something similar to what your saying turned out to be the gas tank vent had sand in it.

 

I agree with some of the other adivce. You seem to be running out of gas. Check the entire fuel system. If it uses a fuel pump, make sure thats good... check the carb too.

 

well i sure do feel dumb, i had to leave it at my friends house cuz i couldnt get it home and he was lookin at it and he looked in the fuel tank and it was dry lol when it was stock i could go so much farther lol im not used to it sucking down this much gas.
