Howdy folks, I have a 2007 Honda Rancher 420 ES, I'm starting to have a semi frequent issue with it and it's become more apparent after sitting all winter.

I'll be riding along and it just dies and then wont start unless I let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes, then it'll start up and run just fine for a while. Then it'll just die again. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm going uphill, downhill or on flat ground. Doesn't matter if it's at operating temperature or running cold. It'll only (so far) do it when under load, if it's just idling it hasn't done it.. yet.

Anyone have any ideas? I thought it might be something floating around in the fuel filter and getting sucked into the inlet.. but not sure...

I'll check on a few of those and get back to you. Thanks for the tips. Might be a bit.. supposed to rain rain rain, ugh.

mrbb, I refuse to run anything with ethanol in any of my small engine machines, which in my neck of the woods means 91 or better, and I did treat the fuel last fall before storing it. None the less that was my plan, drain the tank, put in new plugs and see what happens. If it fixes it, yay! If not.. on to the next plan lol.
