Time to ask for help

OK, this is kind of a long story but here it goes....'

 

 

I was at St. Anthonys at the begining of the summer and everything was running fine the first day, climbing every hill, racing others and doing damn good, at the end of the day we put the machines up and head to the motel. the next day we show up and its raining a little so we wait for it to dry up and then head out. The banshee seemed a little slugish but i thought it was because the sand was little wet still, about mid day we headed over to choke cherry to watch some and climb. the day before i was hittin third climbing choke cherry, but when i tried the second day i got a good run at it and started going up about 1/4 way up it lost all power and so i had to turn around, i thought maybe i had a bad shift or something, so tried again but the same thing happend, but this time i just slammed it into 2nd and kept it wrapped up about 5 seconds later it lost power in second and i slammed it into 1st and barely crept over the top of the hill. My crew all came over to inspect to see what the problem was and we decided to take it back to the trailer, so i made a nice easy trip back to the trailer, about 10 -15 minutes into the ride, the left side shut down completely, so I hit the kill switch and waited for my crew to come back and get me. We got it back to the trailer and looked at the plugs and they lookd ok, maybe a little lean but not bad, also looked for metal shavings thinking i blew my left side, but everything looked ok, so i thought maybe my plug was bad so i went and bought two new plugs popped them in and headed out, ran awsome for about 5 minutes and then the left side went out again, so i hit the kill switch and got towed back in. My crew is pretty good on workin on qauds and stuff and we could not figure it out, eventually I said freak it and put it back into the trailer and finished the day on a friends quad.

 

When i got home i tore into it, first i did a compresion check and that was good, then i checked for spark and that seemed ok, so i was looking at my plug wires and inspecting them when I noticed that my spark plug boot was barely connected to the wire, so i took it off and looked at the boot and noticed the screw thingy that connects them was rusty and nasty, so i went and bought 2 new boots, put them on and it ran good for about 2 hours and then it acted like it was way to rich, hardly reving and choking, so i went on a little speed run to try and clear the plugs, but then the left side shut down, so i hit the kill switch, and had to wait for my brothr to come and get me. And thats where i am at now, i have spent more time being towed on this quad then i have riding it.

 

Whats the deal, is it the stator, coil & wires, or what, i am getting so tired of not being able to ride, HELP ME PLEASE.

 

sorry for the long post, but thought it would be important

 

 

THANKS

Try checking the gap between the flywheel and the pick-up.

check and clean the black wire going to your coil under your shee mine did the same and it was bad if it gets damp or dirty it will run like a injured rabbit. when your there do both put on some elec grease and get them on tight
