About a week or so ago i pressure washed my quad like i always do after a good muddy trail ride. I used a little engine degreaser on some areas to help clean it. When i was done i stood it up and wiped it dry and let it stand for about an hour or so to completely dry.
Now when i went to start it, the engine and exhaust cracked and poped and then stalled. I then put the choke on and started it again same thing. So i started it it again and gave a little throttle and continuously cracked and popped louder until i released the throttle and it staulled out again.
I let it sit for about a week the tried to start it again figuring if i got something wet that wasn't supposed to be wet it would have dried out by now.
Now it will only start and stay started with the choke on but it still cracks and pops. Then after it warms up and i take the choke off it runs pretty good but then just staulls out for no reason.
PLEASE help i plan on going riding next weekend and would like to have this fixed by then.
Thanks,
Ron
