I have an 06 EFI Ranger 700 6x6. I am having a problem when it's real cold.... I start it and it is fine, then I go to give it gas and it wont accelerate. then all of a sudden i will give it gas and the throttle sticks. could water have gotten into the throttle cable some how? I just got this machine and it's the second time this has happened. Both on cold days. Last time I put a bullet heater next to the unit and it finally started working. I am not even sure that's what cured it. I am really dissapointed with this thing right now. When I first brought it home I washed it after I drove through some icy water by a river by my house. The water was only about 7 or 8 inces deep. Does anyone have any suggestions....

Thanks
Greg

 

Well I put the bullet heater in front of the machine and with in 15 min the throttle was fine.... What can I do to fix this?

 

Get it warm and lube it thoroughly with a lube that displaces moisture,use enough to flush out the moisture..

 

What do I lube, if it's the cable how do i get the spray into the cable?

 

Yes the cable,lol. Sorry. Every modle machine is a little different,but get access to the end of the cable sheath and spray it in the sheath. There are some lubes specifically for cables that have small metal tubes,almost like a long needle. In any case you have to get access to the opening where the cable goes into the sheath.

Good luck.
