i just picked it up today.when i pulled it off the truck & tried to start it .i couldnt keep it running.the gas was on & i tried choking it ,but that didnt help.after letting it sit for a couple of minutes it started right up.does anyone have a clue why it did that.i hope i get a chance to ride it today it feels nice .its also alot easier on the back then my warrior was.i got a red one .even though there was 4 yellow ones there.

 

How was the idle? Was it too low? Its really easy to adjust. Sorry to go off topic here but is Romulus really the name of your town? Long live the Romulan Empire!!

 

I have found that the 400ex likes to start hard when transported with the gas on. Or if I stand it up on the grab bar to take off the skid. The carb might be overflowing or flooding out. Did you have any fuel coming out of the overflow while you were trying to crank it?

 

This may sound stupid, but I have seen too many people over look it...where was the choke position?

hey i can finally answer a question in here ! not sure exactly why but not only do an a.t.v. have a hard time starting after being transported but so do other toys , such as a snowblower and others ! i must be something to do with the carburator and the gas movement inside !my 400 foreman wants to sit for ,like a minute after coming off the truck ! so does the snowblower in the winter ! not scientific, but it is normal !
