Yesterday was using it to keep a few tree in air to cut. Hit reverse backfired and shuts off. Starts up again.. shut off again. Now it cranks but won’t won’t fire. Battery is fully charged, pulled the plug and cleaned it up

Jeep.. you were right! Blonde moment it is. I checked the plug earlier this morning and planned to get a new one. Had no spark. So I got home just now put the plug in and the switch was moved just enough to kill engine. Fired right up

how old is the fuel in this thing?
when was carb cleaned last?
how is the air box/filter?
how often do you use this atv, does it sit often??

also, have to ask, HOW are you using an ATV to hold tree's in the air??


I use the quad daily... all the maintenance is up date.
It was the kill switch I had blond moment. It’s was just moved a hair enough to cause me a headache.


Now the trees were not monstrous. I had leaned on another from a storm... used rope and chain to winch it straight up to cut it and held it in the air while cut a second piece so it didn’t hit power wires. The winch is old on my quad that’s getting upgraded. Not enough power

Yea... I don’t know how I didn’t check it right away. I was in a rush to get ready for my sons birthday
