matt4589 Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 When initially starting the ATV The left cylinder appears to fire as normal with burned exhaust gases. After about two minutes of operation the cylinder appears to stop firing as burned exhaust gases stop coming out of the pipe. At this point the engine will kill its self. What could be causing this problem? Thanks for any help given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 have you checked compression? check the compression. make sure your air filter is clean and youre jetted correctly. im guessing it might have something to do with your compression though.

ogre03 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 could it be caused by the reeds? I don't know if they'd couse those symptoms, but they will cause problems related to only one cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
