i have an 03 sportsman and today i drove out of myy drive way , gave it a shot of gas and it bogged down and stalled.!!! started back up , idle nice but trying to rev it kills the machine , . what to doo!!!!! ????? what to check
?? choke cable is fine!. any ideas,?>?????????!!!!!:co nfused:

check the free play in the throttle to much free play in throttle will kick in the etc safety. you only want a 1/16 play in throttle. if not could be dirty carb, check air filter

[guimond47]

ya ok but no one played with the free play before, and if soo how do i adjust it?? do i have to open the trottle box?


step by step inscructions would be nice thanks!!!

no one has to play with it, to adjust free play about 6 inches from the thumb throttle itself on the throttle cable there will be a rubber boot. pull the rubber back to expose the throttle cable adjuster, turn till you get the correct 1/16 play on the thumb throttle

thanks , i will try that, jut incase anyone have any other sucjestion

[guimond47]

the etc wasent a problem..... carb is clean, sand in fuel pump tho, ...... anything else tho?

[guimond47]

brought it to dealer.... they found that the stator wasent giving much power to spark the spark plug at high rev , that was the prob.....

Glad to hear you got it going. Did the dealer beat you with the bill?
