If my machine seems starved for fuel, not even starting, is that indicative of a clogged carburetor? Anything else I can check before I jump into that?

 

You will have to clarify a bit on what your problem is.

By starved for fuel do you mean not idling or bogging when you rev? If the ATV has been sitting for a while with gas in there is a good chance the carb needs to be cleaned.

 

It won't start. It ran all summer, drove good, no problems. Then this fall after I drove it onto my truck, I went to start it to back it off the truck it would not start. This was the day after I drove it on. It sounds like it is out of gas, but the tank is 3/4 full.

 

Sounds like some gunk got from the tank into the carb after you ran it and clogged it up. Take the carb off and clean it, and check for spark as well.

What kind of Bayou is this?

 

It's an '01 KLF 250
