hey guys,been a while since i last logged on,but i need to tap your vast wisdom once again.i recently bought a yamaha raptor(details below) and i have a problem.i accidentally put premixed gas into the raptor(long story).i ran it for a few minutes before it started spluttering and then I realised my mistake,so th next morning I drained the gas and repalced it with normal gas.now it idles fine but when given throttle it sounds as if it bogs down and starts to misfire,complete with spluttering and backfiring.I already removed and cleaned the spark plug but that didnt help.any input would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

It sounds like the rev limiter for p-brake or reverse is on.

 

As cheap as it is, I would replace the spark plug.

 

You are a genious!I just realised that at th same time that I filled it with gas,i also tried putting on a new clutch handle cuz th dumbass who i bought it from cut th end off.i went and checked,and lo and behold,th p-brake cable wasnt hooked back in properly.I clicked it into place,and now,works liek a dream.I cant thank you enough.

 

nice call sixsixT, good troubleshooting

 

Yeah bro, way to go. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

sixsixT,what all is on th "LE" of the raptor?Can any of it be purchased seperately?

 

The biggest thing on the 02 LE was the gloss black powder coated frame and a-arms it also has black plastic and springs and a carbon fiber looking grill. I think that's about it.

 

Sweet.i thought i read in Dirt Wheels that the LE had bigger carbs too.
