OK, I bought a 2002 250ex for my stepson about a month ago.
From what I got from the original owner the quad spent allot of it's life in storage and was ridden very little.
About 2 weeks ago we had it out and it developed a sputter under load, then lost its power. We were able to finish the day out by pulling the choke out about 1/4 of the way, it seemed to run fine this way.
Last week he was riding it on our land and it did it again, but got worse. I pulled the carb off of it, tore it apart and cleaned it (was full of gunk) took the petcock off the tank, cleaned it and the filter put it back together - ran great for about an hour then started again.
Now it is doing the same thing, any ideas?
Need to figure out something quick, we are leaving to go camping tonight.....
Thanks
