I'm having a problem starting my wheeler. Its been about 3 weeks since I last rode it, and I have never had this much trouble trying to start it before. My brother checked the plug and it looked good it has spark also. We also check the float swicth and the jets but they seem fine. I called the place I bought it from and they said it could be a dirty carb but my bro doesnt think that is the case. Can anybody suggest anything?? I need to get this thing running. Thanks

 

is the gas on, do you have gas, check the battery, change or clean the spark plug. see if the spark plug is in all the way cuz thats what happens to mine alot. other than that you have engine problems

 

Gas is on, full tank of gas. I dont think the 450r has a battery??am i wrong??plug is all the way in. I'll have to try another spark plug. If I have engine problems that is sad. I just bought this atv 2 or 3 months ago and I have rode it probably 4 times.

 

the new models are electric start so they do but i think yours doesn't. try the cleanning the spark plug. it could be cuz you havent been riding it. when you get it started always start it up once in a while and just rev it for a minute just to check how its runnig and to warm the engine. what year is it?

 

If it is cool outside, full choke, no fuel. Leave your thumb off the throttle, even. If it is warm out (60 or higher) use the hot start, NO FUEL. Either of those ways and a few swift kicks and it should go. The big key is not to give it fuel, the accelerator pump will flood the cylinder.

 

Yeah I have an 05. I'll just buy a new plug and see what happens, I'll let you know. Thanks.

 

Tried and no luck

 

Is the killswitch in the right position and not off? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Its in the right position

 

We tried to pull start it with a truck also, when we dropped it in gear it started, but as soon as we pulled in the clutch and gave it gas it would die.
