I live in PA and its pretty cold, yesturday it was aroud 10-15 degrees but thats the warmest its been in a month so i thought what the hell ill go for a ride, so went to the garage and did nothin but kick for 15 min. NOTHIN. sweat poorin and pissed went in side for about 15 min. came back out fired right up. So then my buddy tried starting his pred. and he tried and tried and tried until the battery went dead NOTHIN. so I laughed and sayed well, now I dont feel so bad we had to kick the heat on to get his to fire up after charging the battery. needless to say by the time we were done it was about dark and 3 below 0 so nope we did ride at all.

pump the throttle real quick about 3 times about 1/4th of the way in then turn the choke on n kick it a few times..it should start...i live in Pa too so i know it has been cold heh...dont give it to much gas though

[fab410]

Thats prolly what my problem was them because i pumped it 3 times and had the chock on but when I pumped I gave it full Pumps. ill try the 1/4 throttle deal. Thanks.

[Ridin' Jesse]

Yeah you prolly flooded it doing that is why it wouldnt start...Your welcome though :D

[450 Racer R]

try holding the throttle wide open while kicking it. that's how you have to start it when it's flooded. either no throttle, or wide open.

[jeepnrocks]

Do not hold the throttle wide open while kicking that quad over

this man is WRONG do not even TOUCH the gas while kicking unless you want a cracked case

[fab410]

You took the words out of my mouth i would never hold the gas while kicking

[450Rkid]

yeah never hold it but you can pump a little gas in the motor then kick if you hold the gas and kick at the sametime your gonna crack your case or shin. When i first got mine i whacked my shin pretty good.

good way to get BANNED eh?:mad:

[450 Racer R]

lol. I don't know what I'm talking about? Did any of you guys read the owner's manual?

[450Rkid]

and 450 Racer R says hes a racer in another forum (well he may be but not a very smart one)

[450 Racer R]

I can't find my manual right now, but I remember reading that it says not to touch the throttle while starting. however if the engine is flooded that you may have to hold it wide open to start it.

[Ridin' Jesse]

Oh really? Well thats why when i bought my 450 the tech's told me SPECIFICALLY NEVER TOUCH THE THROTTLE WHEN KICKING EVER

[Hammer trx450r]

I think he's right but i don't have a manual in front of me.

And the guy who said the TECH'S SAID IT. OMG LMAO

All I'm trying to say is if mine is flooded( why i dont know ) I would hold the throttle wide open when kicking it over;)

[walker054]

do not push the throttle WHILE kicking, but if engine is flooded HOLD throttle wide open and kick, just like the owners manual says. alot of you guys just need to take the time and really read your owners manual, never have any trouble starting mine even when kicking it over while seated.

Tech = Technician...you know..the people who work on quads? :blah:

[dn1911]

true you shouldn't hold or pump the throttle when trying to start.

if you flood it and need to clear it out, turn off the ignition open throttle and kick until clear.

to start after clearing flood - turn on ignition remove thumb from throttle and kick.

when really cold and won't start, like mine did this weekend, try to find someone to pull start. that worked for me.

[infinite]

ok come on guys this is exactly how u do it. if it is flooded turn the fuel off and leave the ignition on, kick it a few times to clear the flooded fuel out then turn on the fuel and it will start right up. beleive me i build race engines and know a thing or two about flooded motors.

^----- Yup, this is what i do,
