Thanks for you're response. It has clean gas, a new plug, and the air filter is fine. I will check the other things that you suggested. Thanks again.

Hi everyone. I have a 1992 Big Bear 4x4 that is giving me grief. About a week ago I had the bike running but the idle was very slow. So I adjusted the idle screw and then the bike shut off. I fooled with the screw for a couple of days but it still would not start.

So today I changed the spark plug and took the carburetor off the bike. I cleaned it all up and put it back on the bike. The bike fired up after a couple hits of the starter button and I was very happy. I let it run for a few minutes and it sounded great. I then jumped on the bike and moved it about 20 feet and stopped. The bike still idled away but was a little slow again. I turned up the idle screw a little and the idle speed increased to a good pace. I then went to move the bike again and it started to make sort of a cracking or pinging sound and shut off. Now it will not start again. I should add that it had made those sounds a few times before the bike died the first time on me. WHAT DO I DO!!!!! It is driving me crazy. I hope that someone out there can help me out.

Thanks to all in advance.

Steve
