Okay this past Saturday I was going to try to get my mojave ready for the next weekend at Currituck NC...anyways I took my mojave up to a local car wash and procedded to wash it...after I washed it it started fine ran for about 3 or 4 minutes so got on it and gave it a little gas to go back up on the trailer and the motor immediatly died [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] I tried starting it back up but it never would do anything...now 3 days later it still wont start...yesterday it kind of started after being towed around my yard for about an hour with my Prairie 360 but it only ran for like 5 to 10 seconds and shut off...If anybody can give me some pointers on what to do I'd really aprreciate it right now I'm very disgusted not at the mojave but at myself for washing it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Hey I don't know too much about Mojave's but I think It might not be running due to a problem with the filter....or Some kind of flooding with the gas tank....now I might not be right but its worth a try.

Next time wash it with a rag....j/p
good luck hope it works

Thanks man,

I just dropped a clean air filter in it and cleaned the air box out but still no luck I also checked the spark plug but that's good.

Hmmmm What happens when you kick it, does it sound like it is trying to start or does it just not do anything?

TeamGrnMojave269 Jul 22, 2002 10:18 PM

When I kick it...it sounds like it wants to start but for some reason just wont I talked to some guys at work today about it and they told me that most likely some of the electrical stuff got wet and just to give it some time and it would dry out.....But I'm getting a little impatient [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Hey you got water in your tank the same thing happened to me it must of leaked in or something. Buy some dry gas and drain the tank and it with run.

TeamGrnMojave269 Jul 22, 2002 10:53 PM

Thanks man,

That's what I thought too. Now onto the next question what's the easiest way to drain the tank??

MojaveRider250 Jul 22, 2002 10:56 PM

For one thing flip it side ways then on the side of the carb there is a screw with a spring but make sure it looks like it would be able to dran and start turing screws and kill your quad.

Sorry about that post!! you dont have to get everything last drop out just most and go to walamart or any local car place and get it.

See Yesterday my dad was towing me and the mojave with my Prairie 360 and the mojave would start but almost as soon as you hit the gas it would die. So basically if I drain all the gas out of it (the tank and the carberator) and replace it with fresh gas it should start right?
