Alright, so my quad was having a lil trouble starting up today. We got 5 inches of and it was about 32 degrees out so i figured it would be hrd to start. But i got it started let it idle for about 20 seconds and then gave it sum gas and stalled out. So it wouldnt start up right away and while starting the light all the way to left came on. Is that bad? I finally got it started and let it warm up for 3 minutes and it ran fine. Should i just let it warm up longer?

The red light is just the fuel pump priming when starting up.

Let it come on and go off before trying to start.
Might yield you a better start.


When I bought mine new, it rolled off the trailer the first time and directly into the snow.... it was pouring rain when I got home with it that afternoon, and the rain turned into snow that night.
