At idle my 500 Foreman ES has a "hiccup". It's enough for it to die. Starts right back up, w/ throttle it won't die. I can up the idle speed and it still hiccups but doesn't die, just almost does. I'm working on cleaning the carb, any other ideas?
Also I ripped the plug wire in half and wonder where the coil pack is located? I'll be able to tear it apart this afternoon. Will the plug wire have to come from Honda??
Thanks

 

Man what happened to this place? 24 views, no reply. This used to be a happenin' place, kinda dead around here now. I got the spark plug wire "screwed" back into the boot. There's actually a screw that secures it into the wire, so no problems there.
The idle is still "missing" every so often, like it's starving for gas after idling for a bit. I'll be cleaning the low speed jet when I have a chance. May just run it this weekend and see if that helps.

 

Sounds like you are on the right track with cleaning the carb. This stuff they pass off as fuel now days will cause problems if you let a machine sit very long without any fresh fuel going through the system.

I'm fortunate enough to be able to buy non-ethanol fuel but I still run some SeaFoam every other tank on my atvs and motorcycle.
