are you sure that your timing is all correct on the gears the fuel sounds like maybe the firing is not correct

Could I have messed up the timing by putting a new one way starter & starter gears?As for the gears was I suppose to line something up?I didnt see anything?I juast put them all in & made sure they all fit right & buttoned it up.Help...lol

don't know if it will help, but my raptor was doing this, and all it need was the valve lash adjusted.

My '02 Grizzly 660 was doing the same thing when I picked it up used a couple months ago. I adjusted the valves (the intakes were way too tight) and now it runs like a champ. Give them valves a check.....

i`d make sure you got that clutch switch wired right.mine does the same thing when i try to start it with the parking brake engaged.

Yeah,all my switches are in good order.Bark brake is unpluged,clutch sensor is pluged into itsself.I tried to bump start & everything locked up.My tires started sliding & my starter ,the small little gear on it LOCKED up! So is my starter burned up?Can it be rebuilt?I am wanting to just cry...one thing after another.So what do you guys think locked up my starter?Did my new one way not work right...what does it suppose to do anyway,does it enguage or what,how did I get locked up?Thanks

its probaly your carbs; I had the same bachfire problem and would only stay on with the choke. clean them out with carb cleaner
