1999 Scrambler 400
I'm new to the site and a new ATV owner. It ran fine for a couple weeks but now it won't start. It was idling and died, but now it won't start either with the starter or the recoil. It sounds like it is turning over but not getting any fire. It has a new battery, gas, oil, etc... The air filter looks fine and I can smell gas so I guess it is getting gas. Suggestions? By the way...it is about 10 degrees outside.

First check to see if you're getting fire and change the plug in case you've fouled that one.
If you're leaving the gas on while its stored, you may have gas sitting in the carb. With someone's help, turn it completely on its side and let the gas drain out of the carb. When you see a puddle on the floor, turn it back up on its wheels and see if it will start then.

Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

yea....we have two 99 400s one had the some problem, I pulled the head and everything looked good, but then decided to pull the cylinder and I was missing an entire skirt. I did have a major fouled plug with melted aluminum on it...so I had some good indicators that it needed a top end. Since then it runs like a champ. Becareful just putting a new plug in, because I put a new plug and mine ran eventhough it was missing a skirt...you dont want to do more damage.
