CAN SOMEONE HELP ME! I have a 1987 Polaris cyclone... it's a 2 stroke pull start and i just got it back from the shop last night. today i was riding and it wouldent make it up a small dune so i looked at the motor and the rubber wasent over the connection from the pipe to the muffler... so naturaly i fixed it and rode for about a half hour! then i stoped for a while and about 15 min. later when i went to start it up it wouldent start. i pulled for about 10 min. and it finally started. when i got home i shut it off for about 30 min. and then it started up fine! will someone tell me why it would do that?

 

Put a new sparkplug in it. Sounds like you may have fouled the old one and when it finally started again it burned some of the crude off the electrode.If that doesnt work I would say it is a carbaration problem but its hard to say without laying hands on it.
