Sounds like he did have it on its "Back".....Im glad that that seemed to do the Trick for ya....

On the Starting thing....It could be any number of things but where I would start first is the Spark Plug....Install a new one with the proper GAP....Make sure your Valves are Adjusted Properly....Carb could be a Key factor here too....You need Air/Fuel/Spark to start something...The first thing you need is Air.....Try taking the Filter out of it....Then Start it.....If it Starts easy then you know its your Filter....And So on

Did you try this?????

Not sure what to say about the Oil in the Airbox anymore.....Take a look at the top end....It might need Rings....But,,,,,You say no Smoke??? At this point....Im out of Ideas....If you dont know how to work on it....I say take it to a Dealer and have them Deal with it...

hi there again

just went to an ATV shop and bought a new sparlplugg and got some info

mine did look like the one "dry and wet fouling"

but no luck on the starting with a new sparkplugg
, the mechanic from the shop thought it could be the
electric choke on the carburator

just to replace this would be $140,-
and there hourly fee is $80,-

so i,m not quit shure to bring it to a dealer ....yet
because if it,s not the electric choke they probably to
will spend hours locating the problem and my pockets are emty :)

thanks for the help guys
scott
