If Your Engine Quits or Won’t
Start,
If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, it may be flooded with
excess fuel. To clear a flooded engine:
Move the engine stop switch to OFF ( ).
Push the choke knob down all the way to fully OFF.
Open the throttle fully.
Press the start button for 5 seconds (or operate the recoil starter
several times).
Wait 10 seconds, then turn the engine stop switch to RUN (
).
Repeat the starting procedure, but don’t
use the choke.
If the engine still won’t start, refer to
page .
If the engine stalls, shift into Neutral (N) and restart the engine.
If you are unable to shift to Neutral (N) from Drive (D), you can restart
the engine by squeezing the front brake lever and pressing the start
button while the vehicle is stopped.
Do not press the throttle lever while starting in gear. Your ATV is
equipped with a start inhibitor system that will cut off the ignition if the
throttle is open while attempting to start in gear.
Once you have started the engine, release the front brake lever, then
apply throttle gradually.
