ATV only runs for a coupe seconds
 
Hello all. I have an old Polaris scrambler 90. I recently fixed it and it was running beautifully. However, upon starting it, I forgot that I had the fuel selector off and I ran it dry. Now when I try to start it, it only runs for a couple seconds and then shuts down. I don't know what to do.
Thanks for the help.

May have sucked up some trash from the carb bowl when it got close to the bottom. You might want to remove it and clean up the jets plus check for any stopped up,kinked fuel lines. Helps on starting these little ones if you use your thumb and block off the air inlet tube.Forces more fuel than air into the combustion chamber on start up. These little ones had problems with the electric chokes and also later models with manual chokes needed an assist every now and then to get them "primed up"
