MY 02 magnum 325 4x4 will not start. I keep it in an unheated garage, I rode it 4 days ago and now I cannot get it going. I turn the key and the lights and winch work, its not flooded, I put a heating fan beside it for hours and nothing and of course, I topped it off with fuel. I can just hear the chugging sound of the starter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

the same thing happend to my sportsman 400. I went to my local hardware store and got starting fluid... Its called ETHER.. ask for it and they should know exactly what your talking about... hope this helps.

 

Don't use ether. It is a highly explosive chemical that can blow a hole in the piston or even crack it. The best thing to do would be to first if the engine won't start with the choke on, and you have flooded it hold the throttle wide open with the choke off. If this doesn't work then put a new plug in you probably fouled it. Ether will clear up a fouled plug, but that is only because it will remove the oil and with a two stroke that is even worse to use ether on. Also you might want to check to make sure the run switch is not in the off position.
