02 arctic cat 375 dies when u shake the handle bars back and forth, runs and drives fine except when ridding rough terrain it wants to die.any help would be appreciated.

 

When I first got my 375 atv back in 2002 I turned a cookie in my dirt driveway and it died. I spent 45 minutes looking at the darn thing and finally figured it out. Right where the cowling and handlebars meet there is a wire connection. Mine became unplugged. THis may or may not be the same as what you describe. I would take a minute and look.
I have not had the problem sense. But it did die I was almost at the point of bringing it back to the dealer.

Good luck

i took a look at that and didnt find any thing. and what i ment to say was when i shake the whole machine it will die but thanks any way

 

The connection on the handle bars usually occurs while turning.

Sounds like your needle and float could be sticking. Try running some carb or fuel system cleaner through it. I prefer SeaFoam and add some to each tank of fuel and it seems to keep things a little cleaner.

If it continues youmay need to remove the carb and clean it out. Check your plug color too. dark black and dirty is not good tan is best.
