Good morning yall, Ive been having weird problems with my 2009 Honda Rancher 420 4x4 ES lately.
Every now and then, particularly when I go down or up a hill (not an extreme hill, gradual), my ATV will stutter and die like its losing fuel. The kicker is that it will restart in neutral if I turn the key off, turn it back on, and start the 4 wheeler it will idle (I put a bit on the throttle just to make sure it doesnt die) but it will do fine.
However, when I put it into gear and try to take off it will stutter and die again after going a few feet. After maybe 5 minutes or so it'll be fine and goes again.
If I keep on the throttle through everything it will ride all night through the same stuff that it died on earlier in the day.
Things I've checked:
1) Replaced battery (Was dead & wouldnt charge when I went to work on it this weekend.)
2) Checked 1-way clutch (Wont roll back in 1st gear)
3) I checked the fuel filter & replaced it: Old Filter Picture
4) Put dielectric grease on the fuel pump 2p power connector.
5) Fuel vent hose allows air to move through it.
6) I seem to have good fuel flow, Pumped the petcock yesterday swapping the fuel filter out and that shit came pouring till I put it back to "OFF".
---
When I turn to key to on, I can hear the relay click on, but I bought a spare that I can swap in case thats a known problem.
I'm going to put dielectric grease on every connection and check them before I ride this weekend, but wanted to see if yall could come up with anything else it could be.
After my ride, I'll update with if it gave me problems or not.
Regards,
T
