Been browsing around the forum for a few minutes and even doing a lot of searching. It seems to be a common problem with the p-brake switch malfunctioning and not allowing these quads to REV up. Only thing is from what I understand there is no p brake switch for the 05 as there were in previous years.
This isnt my ATV, it is a close friends and basically it was in storage for a decent amount of time because he moved into a new house and it couldn't go with him. It barely even has 15hrs on it. I just cleaned the carbs out real good because they were gunked up with old gas but the bike will not stay running.
It will start right up with no problems but as soon as you hit the throttle it will sputter and die out like a safety limiter is on. It was doing this before I cleaned the carbs as well just has a harder time starting so thats why my first guess was carbs needed a good cleaning. I have seen opinions as an airleak which I'm pretty sure it isnt, to the valves needing to be adjusted. I have no problem adjusting the valves but with such low run time on this bike I dont believe that could be the case, although anything is possible. Any other hints to what it is? There is no backfiring going on or anything, if I adjust the idle up at the carb I can get it to build higher RPM's just not at the throttle.
The bike ran fine before it was stored for some time as well.
Hope someone can help, suppose to finally get some snow where i live and need someone else to ride around with. Thanks
