Well, after payin $245 dollar in parts and stuff, and a 400 exhaust, K&N intake, and other little goodies, I brought the Wheeler Home on the truck tonight. I have a problem though. The wheeler will not start on its own. After bump starting it, it ran like crazy, most powerful wheeler I ever rode. This thing is crazy, I been putting parts on it with all the money I have, but the thing is, what can be the problem here? I need to know soon, like tonight, and I know most people on this site seem to ignore my threads, but if you have ANything to contribute to my knowledge, it would be
greatly appreciated...

pulled the plug, and it was fine....everything in the carb was in check, traced the problem to the fuel pump, pulled the layers off, and the bottom layer was full of sand. it starts easier now, but still not on its own.....im going on a ride tommorow, so i assume i will be bump starting in the morning as usual....but when it comes back, its going back to the dealer, as they were clueless to problem also. i know its not a battery issue, seems more of a fuel to motor issue, could be anything, just hope she holds up tommorow....

if the engine is cold and won't start unless you bump start it ,but then starts fine after it is warmed up.then your valves are to tight and need to be adjusted. common occurance on most preds . over on predatorowers.com they have a detailed instructions on how to adjust them.. good luck

doa compression check. when the comp is too low the engine wont start with the start button cuz the decomp makes it even lower(too low to compress the air fuel mix and get a good burn). that is why when you bump start it it will start because it is turning the engine over faster and allowing it to buld enough compression to get a good burn...i would check compression
