My "08" Arctic Cat 650 H1 runs (plows or runs a trail) great for the first 15 minutes. I can get all the power needed. It starts cutting out when it gets warm/hot. There is no heat error and plenty of antifreeze, new spark plug and air filter. Not sure where to go from here. New coil? Have the valves checked? I would take it to the shop, but the waiting list is 3 weeks and I need it to plow snow.

Any ideas???

Thanks

Got the coil installed just in time for 15 degrees and snow. The bike ran fine for quite a while.

BUT, starting cutting out again. It might have run longer because it was 15 degrees instead of 30 something. The snow was also much lighter. Either way.....I am chasing this problem with money!!!!! Could the belt cause this?

I don't mind trying that, but it was cutting out in the late summer too. Its only after it warms up or gets hot. I would take it to a dealer if I could get it back sooner than 3 weeks. I have had this bike since it was new in "08". It just started this within the last 6 months.

i had heard sometimes guys that have problems with codes and such, have unhooked the cdi pin connector for 12-24 hours to kind of reset everything. i wonder if that might work? at first it sounded like the coil, but if its still doing it, it sounds like it might be the cdi box itself ... swampcat07 is the go to guy here but i havent seen him on in quite awhile now. ill ask ck1999_400ex when he is on here ... maybe he has some insight

CHEAP LED SPARK TESTER ON THE PLUG WIRE AND WATCH FOR A MISFIRE. I am taking a guess at this, That ATV IS carbed correct? It has an eletric choke? If so this choke is automatic? Its heats up over a period of time and closes the enrichner circuit. You said it starts cutting out, could it be flooding from the choke not working right? Black smoke? simple ohm test should tell you good or bad on the choke. Describe the cutting out loss of power? spiting sputuring, back firing etc? Just wont take throttle?

      2005 Bombardier Traxter 650 CVT Compression? Tops out at 20 MPH.
      By BenJammin
      I did a compression test on my 2005 Bombardier Traxter 650 CVT and it's 75 PSI.  service manual only talks about leak down test.  No specification for engine compression the manual.  What does 75 PSI tell me?  Thank in advance.
       
      A little history of this machine.  640 miles.  Picked it up about 2 years ago, not running. Probably the computer.  Tested all circuits and confirm it was the computer.  Long story short, I watched a Youtube video and fixed the computer. ATV now started and runs.  BUT, it tops out 20 MPH.  I cleaned the carb 3 times also using a Mikuni carb kit after the second time.  Slide in carb is going up and down.  Only adjustment for fuel is at 1.5 turns out.  NGK Sparkplug had soot on main part but brown on the electrode.  Champion sparkplug is brown.  I check CVT clutches and they both appear to engage like they suppose to.  Checked valve clearance it's 0.00, I can't get any feeler gauges in-between.  I check timing chain I believe it's in the correct position and hasn't skipped.  I removed muffler plug and drilled into muffler to try and make sure it wasn't plugged.

      Baja 250, No Spark , I'm stumped ...
      By Mhatayas
      My uncle bought a Baja 250, 2006. Knew there was no spark since the get go. He don't know anything about quads so is getting me to help him try to get it running...
       
      battery is bad so I connected battery charger to it to crank it over , cranks over well , but no spark .... 
      Lights and everything work fine , but with each crank over using the e start switch , the display reads 999 888 777 666 ... Right down to 000 and repeats itself . 
       
      He managed to get a parts bike , I changed over the CDI and the coil and the stator from the parts bike and there was another black box by the voltage regulator I changed over ... I used my multimeter to confirm as much as I could works , it's hard without knowing which wires are which , and I cannot find any diagrams online for this bike ? 
       
      Do you think it could be the Killswitch? There's so many wires coming from there I don't know where to start . Also I should mention it appears the fan on the front of the bike has been taken off (the wires have been cut too ) 
       
      If this bike sparked it would run . The previous owner said he parked it one day and it just wouldn't start after.

      2012 Coleman 500 UT plug keeps fouling.

      1988 Suzuki Quadrunner 250 intermittent spark
      By Uglyside38
      I have a 1988 Quadrunner 250 2wd. My brother in law sold it to my son for $20...had been sitting outside for several years. Got it home and had it running in about 30 mins. Ran it a bit and then went to looking at the carb as it was having trouble idling. Was getting it pretty close, then started losing spark...Also, it wouldn't start up every time...only about 1 in 5 tries. Anyway...now, it has what I can only describe as "intermittent" spark. I can get 1 light spark right when the start button is pressed and sometimes one when it's released...but none while cranking. 🤷‍♂️

      I have replaced the spark plug, ignition coil/wire, and traced wires best I can. I noticed a couple frayed wires at the pickup coil where it enters the case. So, now I have the cover off, stator and pickup coil out and trying to test the coil. I do have about 114 ohms resistance for pickup best I can tell. And I can read minute voltage when I drag a magnet across it. Could it still be bad? Can a bad ignition switch/button cause this? (I did have the switch off to oil the choke cable)...pulling rope makes no difference though...any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!! It's the intermittent part that's throwing me off!

      Looking to buy a new SUV
      By Gwbarm
      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!
