When i let the bike set for over 2 weeks it is hard to start, i have to pull start it behind me truck. This is not good but i was told by dealer that it was normal??

Now the big problem. When i get it started it will sputter and when i give it alot of gas it will die out. I was at the local track about 2 weeks ago with no problems, but today when i try to start it this crap happends. I rode it around for a while in 1st gear in my yard but when i get to 2nd it died out, and would not start back.

Anyone have a clue whats up??

it could be your jetting??? im not sure, that would be my guess

 

you need to clean your carb out and drain out the gas
sounds like the fuel system is dirty

 

Try this...put your fuel petcock in the RESERVE position, then fire it up and see what that does for ya.

 

You've got a clogged up carb. Happened to my rancher and my friends eiger. My KFX is always easy to start, no matter how cold it is or how long it has set. My friends eiger and my rancher did exactly as your kfx did. sputtering and stalling when reved higher. Drain some gas through the carb and look for dirt and bubbles in the bottom on the container your draining it in. My friends eiger didnt sputter and act up all the time either. One day it would run fine and the next it would not even hardly run. Dont worry it nots a big problem. Just clean your carb. If necessary you can get a carb rebuild kit too for just about $30 or something like that. Good luck.

 

dang this is going to be my 2nd time to have to clean my carb, anyone know why i would need to be cleaning it so often? i run no air box lid and a k&n. Could this be my problem, the slow and slilent killer K&N? And no i dont ride in the mud.

 

DID YOU TRY MY SUGGESTION??

Often, it looks like you have fuel in the tank, (which you do), but it is actually in the reserve! Mine did the same thing as yours, wouldn't stay running, couldn't figure it out, but then I put some more gas in the tank, and whala, it was fixed. Don't go doin a big job in carb cleaning when it could be a SIMPLE fix...

 

i can tell when theres fuel in the tank, and i never use resrv.

So fuel is not the problem

gota be the carb

 

Ok just makin sure...I've seen at least 10 people on here, including myself, who have been stumped only to find out its such an easy fix, AT LEAST 10.

 

lolz nah i gots gas, will tear into carb tomarrow
