Ok, I started it up. Then I through it into first and started to go when it started to really bog then it quit. It's done that a couple times today. I thought it was the spark plug so i cleaned that. That wasn't it! I didn't notice ne unusual noises coming from the motor. It won't evn idle, evn if the engine is warmed up. It just bogg's REALLY REALLY badly till it dies. I would really appreciate if u could help! Thanx!

Now we're getting somewhere. Have you done any deep water crossings, wrecks or anything at all out of the ordinary that could possibly make it run like this?? It almost sounds like you should take a look at your air box/intake for obstructions.

I don't think the Blaster has an oil injecting system on it, so if your air box is fine...........my money would be on your latest batch of fuel mix. Drain your tank and mix up a new batch that you are SURE is OK. Unless you know that your gas is fine now.

My money is on your latest batch of fuel.

Good Luck

No, it's nevr seen seen ne water evr. Nevr been run too hard. It's only 8 dayz old. This is my first quad. The new Blaster's r oil injected (i'm not sure about the old ones). So the mix i'm assuming is currect. Still has the original oil in it from the day i got it. Thanx for the feedback! If u can help me nemore i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it!

If it's 8 day's old I would get up bright and early tomorrow morning and load it up in your truck and take it back to your dealer and tell him to "fix it"!!

You shouldn't be having trouble like that 8 days into it.

Don't fret about it. If it was 6 months and one day old, then yes it's your problem.
But after 8 days, it's their problem.

Cleaning a fouled plug is not sufficient. Change the plug to a new one, check the gap and try again. Or you can pay your dealer to tell you its a fouled plug. JMO If this does not fix the problem, take it to your dealer.

If you have an extended warrenty, take it in for its 10 hour check up so its on record that you did it. If you do not have the extended warrenty, don't spend the money for them to tell you they changed the oil and cleaned the filter, and that you have a fouled plug. JMO

Yea! It was a fouled plug! I just wanted to take it in to make sure that's what it was. If it wasn't I would have told them to keep it! Thanx for the info![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Hey fouled plugs...happen the most plug ruining motor I've ever seen is my sisters suckzuki gs500 mtorcycle, it'll foul plugs(two at a time) to permanantly misfiring in about two minutes of overchoking.
