2003 Suzuki Ltz400 stalling problem

[brennans51]

So my 03 LTZ 400 isnt running rite. Starts fine idles fine, but as soon as you shake it a little bit it shuts rite off. If you break hard it shuts rite off. And unless you give it constaint gas while in gear it will just keep stalling, even down hill in the trails.

ANY IDEAS!!!??????

Do you have any aftermarket parts done to it?

it sounds like the carbi is dirty or has some water in it.

but also could be a broken wire that is getting moved while shacking or braking.

what have you found so far?
