check the oil , make sure its not milky, look in the airbox ,see if its wet, there is a plug in the bottom of recoil housing to let the water out

 

careful-

first you want to remove the atv from the lake before you remove that housing plug- wouldn't want water to get in there and freeze up.......... oh wait

 

Im suprised he came back after that many ************* remarks.....

 

Ever thought of just trying that?

WOW I cant believe (some) of you guys are bashing someone for asking questions. Maybe he is not the sharpest tool in the shed but at least he was doing some research on the problem he is having. I am new to having a four wheeler myself and maybe I might have a little more common sense than others at mechanics and physics of mother nature but I am hoping I don't ask a question and get bashed like that. Just my thoughts

 

If you move the clutch it will free it up because it break the ice chunk into smaller sizes but you do not want those flying around inside the recoil, just thaw and drain.

 

I'm hoping you dont ask a question like that either...

 

I think it was as much the 'way' the question was asked. "If u want u can email me at sparky54758@hotmail.com only if u know what is wrong with it." It's almost like it's a privilege to send him an email. But, only if u know the answer. When I post a question I feel like I'm the one privileged to be here and I won't make someone email me to give an answer. Post the question, wait a bit, check back later, and thank everyone for all and any answers. To me that is, more or less, forum etiquette.

 

Nicely put Moose...
