Each time I wash my 05 Scrammy it sputters for quite a while after I wash it. At first I thought that it was from powerwashing it, then i thought it was getting the filter wet, now I don't know. I hand washed it and made suire the filter stayed dry. Any suggestions?

 

This has happened to me on my 700, because I sometimes take water in the exhaust pipe and it must run down the pipe to the motor.

 

After washing check it at night to see if there is any sparking on or around the wet wires....also water may be getting in the carb.....how long does it sputter for.....caper....

 

But my pipe exits on the bottom... It's a thought though.

 

might check a few things.

make sure the sparkplug wire is secure and tight on the spk plug. check all your connections on your cdi box and voltage regulator. it could also sputter when the coil pack and the wires coming from it are wet.

What they said. You could also try spraying a fine mist silicone on your wiring, Brian

 

Where is the CDI box? Voltage Regulator? I think I can find the coil pack, on second thought, where is the coil pack. 05 Scrammy 4X4. Thanks

 

My motto is, "why wash it?" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

try checkin around the carb for a complete seal could get some moisture in there..just another thought

 

you beat me to that one Towelie

however every time I leave mine at beach and return to Cairns [like this morning] I give it a very good hosing down to get all salt off but it always starts OK
