I'm new to the forum and I am having issues with an older Warrior that I only can hope someone has the knowledge I need. Don't have a lot of money so just trying to shorten the list of suspects. So thanks in advance!
ATV was running like a champ even at it's older age when I got it. Prior it sat for awhile but did run for a few weeks before I purchased it.
I would get out and ride on it for an hour or so and when you come to a stop and sit to long... it would stall out. When you did get her started again, she would start running ruff, sputter and backfire. When you gave it gas, it would just stall out like it was sucking up air. Then next day.... start right up and run great but would still do the same thing. Sputtering and backfiring when giving gas got worse and worse as the ATV got hotter. This was also intermittently happening.
Also, this ATV seems incredible hard to pull start, even with the decompression arm engaged.
Symptoms:
1. Battery Drain
2. Very hard to pull start, but is possible.
3. Even if you jump the battery with a truck, still cranks over very slow and eventually will just heat up the jumper cables, the starter gets hot and the battery will go dead.
Good:
1. Fuel, Carb and Intake Manifold (boot)
2. Spark Plug
3. Replaced starter with a good used motor
4. Brand new battery.
Thank you for any advise you can give to point me to the next part i'll need to purchase. :tup:
