My uncle gave me his recon because it wouldnt run it would sputter and shut off.Well after hours of workin on it i decided to check for a clogged exhaust pipe.Well there was a rat in there,so all yall look out if your atv has been stored for awhile,and those of you who store your atv for long periods of time put a piece of tape of the opening in the silencer.Just dont forget to take it off before you ride again

 

It is amazing where them little critters will go. Your right on stuffing something in the exhaust pipe. I have paper towels stuffed in my so the mice don't jump in for a free ride to heaven.
