2018 Can Am DS 70 stalling out when in water


Recommended Posts

Since the very first ride after I bought my boy his DS 70 (2018) I have had an issue with it cutting off after splashing through water and not wanting to start for a minute or 2 waiting for wherever it is to dry off that is causing it. I went through and put dialectic grease on all the connections and it continued to do it. Not nearly as bad as before but still. Today before we went riding I put a good bit in the spark plug boot but toward the end of the day it started doing it again. Do y’all have any ideas on what might be causing this and a solution? Also I buy and sell wheelers a lot and it seems like every little one I get when I break them down to clean the carbs all the dry box and boots and what not seem to be siliconed. Is this standard practice on these small ones or just coincidental that I keep getting them that way?

Drying out that quick makes me think it's getting wet on the spark-plug or coil, and the engine heat is drying it out.

Water getting into the connector down by the engine is also a cause, but then it normally takes a half hour or more to dry.

I'd use the garden hose to wet one part at a time till it conks..

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      This is something I'm extremely curious about. Has anyone ever attempted to buy a quad (or any other vehicle) from an impound lot? I've always wondered if this could be a bargain, or a waste of time. Google searches do turn up some helpful results. Looks like the state of NJ holds auctions online which I'd be a bit hesitant about.
       
      My online searches haven't really turned up any results of anyone buying an ATV this way. I'd be really curious if anyone tried this, or knows someone who has. I've actually found a couple pages with online auctions for my state, but none had ATVs.

      Hey all back again with my 1989 moto 4 250.
      After putting a new carb on it it's really sputtery, it has new gas and I'm wondering what to tune on the carb to make it idle better. I've attached a video to describe the issue more. The bike is still work in progress but I think the video gets the point across. Thanks!

      I am in the process of puting it back together after replacing the DPS gearbox.
      The manual I have states that it will need to be flashed by a dealer. Is this still true?

      Pic is no go for now....Cox issue I will try again later
