2004 Arctic Cat 250 2WD Won't Stay Started
 

Opened air filter manually, poured a little gas in. Fires right up. Runs about as long as that gas is there (4-5 seconds) then nothing.

It's only sat idle 6 months and I put Stay-Bil in the gas last year.

Any ideas?

Still could be gummed up idle jet?

Any online places to get a manual on tearing down carb?

Thanks in advance!

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Sounds like no fuel is getting to the carb. Check your fuel lines all the way to the tank for clogs,collapsed lines, ect.

Water will fall to the bottom of the tank and then into the lines so you may need to just pull the fuel line, drain the gas, add new gas and see if that works. Even if it smells gassy it might be watered down.
