i went out ridding this eekend and had a great ride came home let it sit for a while went out to put it away pulled start it and right after it fired up it made a windy sound and died then i couldnt pull the rope out so i took the case off and turned the pully and now i can pull it and it just turns over but wont fire up if i hold the gas while i try to start it it makes a puff back fire sound what could be wrong

I did leave the gas on for a couple days could it be flooded

 

Is it still messed up?

 

yes have not messed with it much but still cant get it to start could wat could it be

 

Ive onlyhad this quad for like a month and have only rode it like 4 times
I did hear what I thought to be a knocking noise on the side of the pull start since I have had the bike is this normal I dont know anything about 2 strokes

 

pull your carb and reed cage and see if the piston broke(popular on 400 2 strokes)

Remove the recoil again and look for little pieces of magnet throughout the flywheel/stator area. Could have had a flywheel come apart too.

 

thanks man I will look to see when I had the case off it was way clean in side

 

Check the piston. Pray thats not it!

 

I hope its not but what am I looking at if it is I pull off the carb what sould I be looking for

 

could it be a fould plug

 

The 350's and 400 two stroke motors had a tendency on occasion to break the piston skirts. I could send you a pic if you want, got a 400 motor torn down with exactly that prob. I doubt the plug will be you problem. Plugs don't cause motors to screech and lock up. Excess pieces of broken piston skirt do though!

Remove the carb and reed cage, see if your piston is all there. If it's broke, you will know it. I've seen skirts break and allow motors to turn over fine, and i've also seen them lock them up tighter than fort knox. Check your counterbalance oil when you pull the carb off too. Hopefully it isn't full of water.
