i just bought a 2001 400ex for 4300 canadain which it pretty cheap. 2 weeks after it would not turn over so i brought it in and it needed a rebuilt starter motor and a new starter clutch, it cost me 570 to fix it all. when i got it home i unloaded it from the trailer started it up jumped my laneway and it quit on me..ok so i try to start it no go it wont start. now it will only start if i rock it back and forth but dies soon as i let off the trottle it dies.. seemings all thi sht is going wrong do you think it would be best to sell it be4 anything else goes wrong? i cannot afford to repair it often so would i be beter to sell it and buy a better quad?

 

Hi. The first thing I would do is to have someone competent look it over and tell you what overall condition it is in. Then go buy the service manual for your wheeler. Get a buddy to help you learn how to do the maintenance and troubleshoot any problems that may arise. A 2001 400 EX should not be too far gone to get it running strong again. With a shop manual and little more time getting to know the wheeler you should be ok.

check to make sure the gas is on! Some dealers turn it off before you take it.

 

"soon as i let off the trottle it dies" Might be as simple as turning up the idle a little????

 

Yeah..thats prolly all it is

 

if it isn't fuel and idle you might want to take it back to the repair place, and ask a few questions.
