Check all fuel lines and clean carb. out.

The jumping could be caused because the idle is to high or your thumb is on the throttle.
Agree on cleaning carb.

ok I am really hoping thats what it is. Someone told me that it could be a shifting issue. the plates and springs are sticking wich is causeing it to stall. something about when in N it spinns freely and when u shift the springs adjust and if stuck or worn could cause it to stall. does this sound right or no? thank you

Mmm! I don't know. Whats it do when you use the clutch

I was out riding for the holiday weekend when this begane was running like a brand new quad and then had a couple friends take it out and trashed it with mud since then it has been doing this. sprayed it down got all the mud off and still doing it.

its a semi automatic just gear and go

Yea but the 250ex has a sport clutch. Don't let others ride your stuff this is what happens!!!! Try the carb thing. Clean airfilter and change oil. If they got any garbage doen in the carb.

ok cool im really hoping its just the carb easy fix. it just doesnt make sence to be anything else, any tips on what to use to clean the carb out.

 

[KevinC1981]

I guess you live and learn with someone else driving your $***. im deff not doing that again.

 

[tomgodd]

Get a manual to assist you with your teardown. Carb cleaner always works well, like you get at an auto parts store.

 

[KevinC1981]

ok got the manual already. good to know. again thank you

 

[tomgodd]

No Problem and GOOD LUCK!!!

To me it sounds like the idle is to high.

It sounds to me like you let the dealership fix it for you and have your friends pay the bill.

Rule #1 - you do not talk about fight club.
Rule #2 - YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB
Rule #3 - you don't let anyone ride your atv

ok so I want to start off by thanking for all your help guys. I had stopped down to the local honda dealership and bought a new air filter,plug and some carb cleaner. When i went to disassemble the air box from the carb i noticed right away there was a lot of mud and dirt in the box. come to find out the guy who i bought it from didn't know how to clamp the air filter on properly so it was getting dirt in the carb. sprayed a little in let dry cleaned the complete air box and that stupid plastic hose that comes off the box that sitts right next to the fuel tank. gotta find a different place to move it.I put everything back together fired it up and went for a ride for about 20 min. so fare so good. Not back firing or stalling. so all is good now. again thanks guys .:icon_ banana:

 

[KevinC1981]

oh and yea im not letting anyone ride my stuff anymore if I break it I wont care about fixing it, thanks again
