I need help on how to get my year old 400ex, when i go to start it, it will fire and idle for about a minute, and all of sudden it just dies, i try firing it again and it will not fire at all. So I let it sit for about 10-15 minutes and it fires up again but does the same thing in repeat, when i got it started one time I got on the gas a little and it idled while i was on the gas and kinda just died like it did in the past, I've tried draining the bowl and making sure there is a stream of gas, that is ok, checked the plug, plug does spark, tried choking it no luck. this quad is almost brand new i have been the only owner and it seems very hard to start it in the cold weather, does anyone have any suggestions on what should I do, or does anyone have to same problem . Please someone help me out on how to get this thing started please, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

by reading the title and then your siggy, its you REV BOX! they cause all sorts of starting problems, i wouldnt use one if i were you

Hey , Is there a way to get it started without removing the rev elimnater????? because once i removed my stock cdi box i forgot where i placed it! lol

 

fresh gas?

 

Yes i have fresh gas. any other suggestions?

 

I found my cdi box, and replaced it with my aftermarket one, I didn't try firing it up yet, too late at night parents would get mad, in the morning is there any special thing i should do?
