I guess I wanted to ask any of you if you knew what i could do before I shell out the bucks.
I just bought this 660 raptor 2001- ran fine/great when i test drove it, I've had it for 3 days, havent been able to get out and ride. I've been riding it around the block once a day and today I got to the other end of the block and as I tried to accelerate in 2nd, it felt like I was in 5th. As I gassed it, it didnt respond to well and cut out. I tried to start it back up and bring to neutral, but it was like neutral was very hard to get into. Anyhow, it started up, and it took off fine again, but now its in the garage and wont even start up, not even with the choke. At one point it would start with half choke, but any revving and it cut out. It wont start up now, and I see what I believe is oil on the ground ( just a tiny bit) and upon further investigating, I saw there was something leaking toward the bottom of the engine by the foot pegs.
One thing worth mentioning is that it seemed difficult to get it in gear. I didnt hear any popping or clinking. Gas is low, but even gas there to start I believe. The engine is completely stock, nothing modfified.
Odd enough, I saw paperwork on the quad before I purcahsed it, and it was completely tuned up. New oil, new spark plug, new filters, etc. It was running great for 3 days, and now it wont start. Any help out there? Thanks.
