i worked on the 400 all day, i cleaned the carb out, changed the spark plug cleaned the air filter, outewears. and tomorro im gonna change the oil...i basically stripped the quad down to the wheeles and tires and i couldnt find anything wrong with it, still it wont start, what happened was i was working on the tires last weekend and i went in and got a drink and it started raining, so i played a video game and when i went to put it away it would only give me one or 2 jolts per x/amount of throttle jerks now it gives me more but it still wont run strait...when i tried to jump start it, like drag it with the truck and pop the clutch, it would run...but at a veerrry low idle, it still wouldnt give me any normal running signs...anyone know whats wrong...?

These may sound stupid and you may have already checked them but they are simple things that I've done before on various machines:make sure the gas is on,check the killswitch ground(if you have one),check the factory kill switch slide button thing(dont know what to call it).....hope that helped some:)
