This weekend we ran 2 Harescrambles very pleased with my kids results.5th sat,4th sunday.What ticks me off is she has really been getting good starts.right in with top 3 and holding position right up until something dumb happens.Last week was her fault since she hit a tree but this week both days it was 6"deep creek crossing.
Her quad hits water and instantly dies.I cannot get it to do this with garden hose.So far I have found muddy water is getting in choke since that stuck in closed position both days even after removal and packing the rubber cap with grease.Once quad is removed from water if it can be choked it starts immediately.Without choke to use(since it was stuck) it is very hard to start and I thought for sure battery wouldnt take it.Fixing choke should be easy(replace it all) Stock airbox,No water in covers or clutch.I feel it costed her 2nd place since she had a huge lead over next place and one of other 2 in front of her didnt finish race.Do you all have any suggestions on anything else I can do?
