Paulie B Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Is this something that previously ran good before? What pilot jet are you running? Did you do a leak down test? It could be sucking air. Edited July 14, 2012 by Paulie B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khill Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) as far as i know it ran good before rebuild i bought from an atv shop that bought it and rebuilt it. it had 240 mains i took it to 200 it helped it as far how good it runs for the 5 minutes but it still dies like you just turn it off acts like it runs out of gas but carbs are full when it dies and it wont restart till it sits for bout 30 minutes and its hard to start after that but if you start it cool it will idle forever you just cant actually ride but like 5 minutes. how do you do a leakdown test? and it does have a cool head not sure what domes dont if something could be wrong with it.
