Default Stalls/dies when it gets warm? !?! help....

My Arctic Cat 4x4 2003 will die after running it, after it gets good and warm. Thought it was getting hot because the fan never comes on. I hard wired the fan just to see if maybe it was getting hot. But i still does it. Could I have a bad spark plug? After it dies it will not start right away. I usually have to wait a few minutes before restarting. And I only dies after I come to idle. Please help!!!!!

What is your plug color after it dies on you?

Black = rich, White = lean, Tan = just right. If you have a black or dark colored plug after it does this you may want to replace the plug and remove and clean the air filter, carb and choke real good. Then see if the problem continues.

These are all very easy procedures and if you check on here you should find directions for them. They are outlined in a service manual if you have one.

These are the easiest things to check and most often cures the problem. If not there are others you can do to further diagnose the problem yourself and save some $.
