This is a prolbem with my 07 wolverine 450.


It runs and idals fine. No knocking no nothing...give it a quater throttle it still fine running good...anything pass that it seems like it wants to fall on it's face. It has no power to it...it just like the it is getting no gas...there is no water in the carb and the plug is fine i have done replaced it and it's good gas in it. Its seems as thought that once past quater throttle is just misses and rpms actually go down. I have no idea whats causing this and any input is greatly apreciated.

 

Is it back firing at all? A friend had a similar sounding problem and it ended up being a rock in the vent hose for his gas cap. You might try taking the hose off and testing it. It's worth a shot at least.

 

Do the new Wolverines have the parking brake still? not sure, but my wolverine did the same thing, ended up being the parking brake switch was loose and adjusted wrong so the engine cuts out when this switch is on. Something to check for.

 

I'm not sure if your Wolverine have a reverse limiter similar to the diff. lock/reverse limiter on a Kodiak/Grizz which prevents you from going too fast in reverse or with the front diff. locked. If it does it may be an electrical problem with it coming on when it's not supposed to.

Or what ATV_MAN says about the parking brake may also be true if it is part of a rev limiter circuit.

Get a diagram of the circuit and try to temporarily bypass it. If this solves the problem then you will have to determine which component is giving you the problem.

 

new woly's dont have parking brake, but do have reverse rev limiter, but your reverse light should flash when giving it gas, it should, may not...

 

the reverse light did flash but only for a min.

 

then its proabably your reverse limiter, will need to check the connection, not sure where its at, go to bikebandit.com and look up the schematics and that should get you started

 

does anyone have a link to that page or know where the reverse limeter is on the quad i searched bikebandit but could not find it.

 

its not showing up on there but it should be the same as the grizzly or kodiak 450

 

Does anyone have any idea where the sensor could be or what could be wrong...i cant find anything on this atv.
