Te last couple of times I have been out I ride for about half hour (mainly in the snow) and then all of a sudden when I nail the gas it just dies on me....I have my own reasons why but would like some more input

Check the air/fuel ratio it may need some adjustment...also check your plug...


Good Luck

 

Are you jetted for the colder weather? What kinda compression do ya got? Start with the basics

 

Last year I was runnin it in the exact same kind of condtions...never missed a beat

My dealer lost a customer for a problem exactly like this on mine.

Long story short: I worked on it a while. Didn't fix it. Took it to dealer, told them what I had already done. Called and said it was fixed. $80.00 later, took it home. Not fixed. Looked into it myself again. Found the fuel vent from carb clogged. Blew it clean. Runs again.

Anyway, it is likely something else, but check the fuel vent on the carb (if a 2 stroker has one, and I assume it does). It is a long clear/white hose running out of the carb body.

when it does it, does it make a real low "boggy" type noise liek when you try to floor it in reverse without the overdrive on?

If it does, then mine does the same friggen thing, im gonna try to change the fuel filter and do the thing brainpause said, because it does it because it not getting any gas. I know this because the other day it did it because my tank had run dry out of gas, and it sounded like that until it finnally died. Something must be blocking fuel. If anyone has had this problem and sucessfully fixed it, EMAIL ME!!!! MY EMAIL IS ATVRIDERDUDE07@AOL.COM my aim is atvriderdude07 also.

 

did you get snow in your gas tank??? the water may have gotten int your gas line and froze.

 

Simster,

You are describing EXACTLY what mine sounded like with the fuel vent clogged. Of course, there are several conditions that could make it sound like this. Yes, it was like the reverse limiter had come on just as I nailed it.
