ok, so im driving to tamaqua to my dads which is about 5 miles from my house, and i get about three quarters when my warrior just up and sputs and shuts off. So i give it a minute, start it and it goes fine for about another five minutes and shuts off again.i check all my connections making shure nothing is dirty and i start it and go again only for about a min or two this time. than only when i let it cool down i could start it for a couple seconds, when i put my hand over the intake to create suction it would start and than eventually die. i thought mayb carb so i took it off cleaned it out and i forgot tht i put a piece of tape on the air screw to keep it from vibrating loose (on the threads). so it dnt move but when i took it out to clean it he tape was like not on hte screw so i took carb cleaner and cleaned everything out in the carb. I had left the quad sit over night and i put the carb back on and it fired up and ran for a couple minutes and shut off. im going nuts trying to firgure out wat it is and it runs great when it starts up for those couple of seconds but after that it just dies out?!? and it will only start when i hold my hand over the intake and play with it like that......help me lol, thanks, John

 

Is your intake split or cracked?

 

Sounds like the igntion coil going bad. When it warms up the windings open.

 

Clean your air filter?
Clean your carbs really good?
Getting a spark conssitantly?
Head gasket leaking?
Coil tested?
Mods?
Jetting?

 

thanks for the help but i think i got it this time, i went out to start it, starte dup real good ran for a couple minutes and shut off....so i took the carb off on a hunch again when i saw someones post on the carb float (plunger). i took it off and i remembered about the tape and there was def more than wat i got out of it so i took the float valv e out and there was tape in the hole a large piece, and there was some on the plungerr too.....ill go start it now!! thanks for the help
