So this past weekend I thought the warrior was finally ready to make its maiden voyage. Everything was good, got it gassed up and set out. About 25 minutes into riding it started spitting a bit, backfired a couple times, and shut off. I let it sit for a little while and tried starting it. It cranked just fine, didn't want to fire. Bled the carb, gas was clean and there was no gunk. Tried to start it, got a couple sputters, but then just kept cranking. We were able to pop start it. But, I was only able to get another 5 minutes down the way, when it backfired real loud and shut off. Since then it doesn't want to fire. :argh:
As far as I know, the spark plug is fairly new. It was clean when I checked it after the top end was rebuilt. Timing is on. The machine ran before and after the top end rebuild. I don't understand what could have happened in half an hour of riding.
Is this a common issue? Has anybody run into something like this before?
