I have an 07 700 raptor. I'm trying to fix it for a friend. It is completely stock. The spark arrestor is not removed. The air box lid is still on. The plug is black and dry. The thing won't start and the oil tank is full of gas. Could you guys please help me please?

 

need a little more specifics, will it not start at all, or is it cranking but wont fire, based on your description it could be anything.

if it wont do anything, check your battery amd battery cables

not trying to be meen but you didnt say there was gas in it.

take your spark plug out leave the wire hooked up to it and push the start button. see if its getting spark.

if it is pull your fuel line off your carb and see if suel is getting through to your carborator.

if it has been sitting awhile the carb might be dirty from the gas, the jets might be clogged.

tell me more and i will see if i can help

 

Sorry Doc. Yep it's got gas in it. She spins but won't start. She's getting fire. Just spins and spins. I never messed with the fuel injection and no it hasn't sat. To my knowledge it is only 4 months old. Ridden every week so sitting's not a problem.

 

ok, the last time it was ridin did it take a tumble or anything. Either way I would check your spark plug wire make sure it is seated all the way on. The last time out did you hit any major water holes?
I know everytime I take mine out and I get really dirty I have to check my air filter. It will sometimes suck in mud.

What I would do is take the air filter completely off and try to fire it. it might not be getting enough air.

if that doesn't work, put the filter back on and hold a rag over the muffler tight to create compression, see if that works. (don't hurt yourself)



There is one other option though if you do it you must understand it could damage the engine. You can spray some ether into the air intake (remove the filter first) this is like putting nitrous into your engine. If you do it to much it could damage it. if there is dirt caught in your carb this is a possible easy fix.

 

Doc I checked the basics. I've tried everything. Done tried ether. Tried everything. I wanna know where the oil and gas are mixing. If the cylinders washed out or what.
