I have a 2000 wolverine, fmf exhaust k&n filter and jet kit. I just returned home from a trip to colorado where we rode at about 10500 ft. The wolverine did fine up there, but when I got it home it wont start, it will turn over it just wont start. its been about a week and no luck I have tried everything I know (everything is turned on, including the gas). has this ever happened to any of ya'll or do ya'll have any sugestions. any help would be appreciated.

this is my first post but I have learned alot from reading this board.

Hi Billy
First do you have spark at the plug?...take the plug out and hold it against the cylinder and hit the starter and check for spark with the key on.... No spark install a new plug and try again...was your gas turned off while you were transporting your quad?

Hey, what these guy's were saying about the carb pay attention, it will happen to you when it will start to sputter, and keep stalling. just play with the carb and drain it a little and it will go back to normal. Yeh the gas switch has got me a couple of times too. As well as the engine shut off switch underneath the start button.
