if i go through a puddles thats around as high as the foot pegs or a tad higher. it will ride for 5 mins then not work for hrs. it does this through any small puddle. but what drives me nuts the most is. my buddys son has a raptor 80 and it has no issues at all.


since i live in newgland i'm coming to the conclusion riding a sport quad is a lost cause. and if i can't find a way to fix this situation i can't just go out and ride with out the fear of stalling and not going anywhere again. kinda stinks let me tell ya.

 

On the left side of your engine there is a plastic cover that covers the mag and ignition pick up. You might take a look at this, it comes off easy with big phillips screws. There is a rubber gasket that keeps water out. When it gets wet in there you're kaput. I bet you're getting it wet and it just needs dried out and the gasket on straight.

is there any thing to cover it so water won't get in there?

 

u could try a bead of silicon, but i would just try to put the gasket on straight, it should work.

 

so the gasket not on straight from factory or does go unstraight after riding it?

 

well it SHOULD come installed properly from the factory, i dont know if thats even the issue but straight gasket usually means working gasket and watertight seal. maybe the gasket is bad alltogether (ripped, cracked, split) they are usually very cheap so you could try a new one. check it out and let us know, it soulds like it is VERY annoying!

 

it is i hope its easy to find. i won't see it till later this week

 

yep your stators gettin wet, you need to use some silicone on the rubber gasket and glue it together then you should be good to go..



this is something else i found out today as well. i'm going to get it looked over soon. if this is the problem i'll be a happy guy . the wife wanted me to reade it in for a utility quad and i really don't want to that just yet.
