My uncles on vacation and I'm in charge of doing chores at his place. Anyway he's got this blaster that I'm going to buy, so after I got done doing chores I went into the shed and began to try to get the SOB started(It has a LONG histoy of being a pain to start) I kicked and kicked a got he going then hit the gas she boged out and died. I repeted this several times gave up and went home. I got on the internet downloaded the manual read under trouble starting. It has a long list of things so i picked the one you would least expect the cheapest one.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Which is check to see if air filter is dirty. I went back the next day opened the airbox and you'll never belive it there was a MOUSE NEST in the air box. He had chewed the airfilter to peices(bet it didn't taste good) and filled the bottom with about and inch of crap. He made it down to the carb which is probably why its bogging out. Then proceded to die in the airbox. I so hate mice now, so with a good carb cleaning a new airfilter and good cleaning I bet she'll run like a champ. My uncle would have never figured this out he'd have taken it to the shop for all that which even unmechanicly inclined him could have done.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Anything stupid like this ever happen to anyone?

 

Mice love to make homes in atv airboxes for some reason. Glad you found the problem, hopefully she'll be good as new soon.

 

Not quite
I went back today to mow the yard and i fired her up after awhile took her for a spin around the yard. I couldn't get her out of third or she'd lose rpms and die so i took it back to the grage and looked her over real good. Problem one muddobber nest in the muffler NOT GOOD I started her up let it idle then took a screwdriver and got that out. Then took her out for another spin and nothiced I was leaking something bad. It was the transmission was leaking out a milky colered oil NOT GOOD i think it needs a new gasket or needs to be tightend. I then I put my arm on the back tire to get up off the ground and it was loose. I checked the lugnuts they were fine so its the hub. BUT other than all that its alright [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
