got a question for you guys about my friends raptor it start fine but when you give it gas it sputters hope you guys can help...

 

Has he made any recent mods or did it just start out of the blue?

 

just started

 

That would make me think that something just is clogged in the carb. I have heard that Raptors need to have their carbs broken down and cleaned after a period of time... wait what year is it... carburated or EFI?

 

carb

 

Yea ok... so what I was starting to say was that several of the raptors I ride with have had to have the carb totally broken down and cleaned... in fact I think the YFZ suffers from the same finicky carb. My YFZ buddy had a problem where the bowl would not fill due to the bowl screw being ceezed shut after leaving the gas on. I would take the carb off and give it a good cleaning, lots of crab cleaner. Make sure the bowl is getting fuel, and that the carb is basically operating correctly. Its a start. Since he had no recent mods I would put money on something being clogged up.

 

thanks i'll check that tommorow

 

if the parking brake is on they will spudder then when take it off there fine.

 

Make sure the choke is disengaging. There is a choke plunger that sometimes sticks within the carb. It's cheap to replace.
