Starts, but when you run it, it shuts off at a random times.

My Kawasaki Bayou 300 1998, has been acting up since we bought it. Finally we couldn't fix it on our own so we took it to a guy he fixed it. Recently I was riding it and all of a sudden it shuts off half speed down a hill. Long story it has been sitting in my garage since this fall, and I am tired of seeing it collecting dust. It's start up with one click from the electric start or a couple pulls from the pull start. I had it idlesing at least 5 minutes without touching the throttle. But when I put it into gear it will only go a quarter of a mile till it shut off agian. Also when it shut off wait a little while then it will start back up. Full of gas. I have had no ideas. Thanks

Don't just clean the carb do a complete rebuild with a proper kit so all adjustments are correct and all new gaskets. Be sure to blow out all orfices and run a fine wire thru them. Just a simple cleaning can cause more problems than it fixes. Check to be sure a wire is not getting pinched and shorted when putting it in gear.

I had the same problem with my '86 Bayou and it was the gas cap vent. I was able to blow it out with compressed air and had no more problems.
