Hi to all, got a problem with my sons atv. I recently did the basic mods to this atv. And after running it around the house for a week or so, we decided to take it to the local atv park. Everything went well and we got home late, so I waited till the next day to wash our atv's. The 2002 LT 50 started and ran on the first pull cut it off to wash it with the pressure washer (electric cheapo not much presure) after finishing I pulled the cord and she fired right up, drove her around to the back yard to dry off before putting her back in the barn. Well after a couple hours of dry time I tried to crank her up and well it just wouldnt crank. I figured I might of got some water in the fuel system. Well I checked the tank and it was empty so I put fresh gas in. I have flushed the lines with fresh gas pulled the carb off and apart 2 times and I still cant get it to crank. I do have spark and the plug looks great. What else could it be??? It dont make sense to me that this atv was running the best it ever has and cranking the easiest it ever has, and after giving it a bath it wont crank. PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I THROW IT IN THE METAL DUMPSTER!!!

 

your aircleaner/ carburator might of got water in it.

 

they have both been removed and checked. the carb has been taken apart and all passage ways blown through with carb cleaner. I am curently trying to crank it with the cleaner off. I have even sprayed some either in this thing (big no no) and it wont hit a lick. But I can pull the plug out and the spark is nice and blue.
