I was out riding over X-mas and it was really wet and muddy. I pulled the clutch in and came to a stop, and ol' reliable just cut out. I tried starting her back up but she just sat there and spit and sputtered. I thought ah... probably just got something wet that shouldnt be. I finally got her to stay running and tried to pull out. It just died. I started it up again and had to really work the throttle back and forth to get it to move. After it got going it ran for about 25 yrds then fell flat on its face. At this point I was so mad that i just pulled it home and stuck it in the garge. Well now the snow is flying and im anxious to go riding. I changed the plug and checked the gas for water, but both proved ineffective. My next thought is that it has to be electrical, but i dont know where to start. Has anyone had this problem before, or know where to start? Any help is appreciated. Sorry for such a long post...

Thanks

 

check all the connections under the seat.. along with the parking brake.. i'd say your best bet is a loose connection

 

sounds like the connecter on your parking brake-just pull it out and check.

 

i would say its probaly a bad connection
