Hot Throttle problem
SportsmanNH replied to virgil's topic in ATV's , UTV's, Dirtbikes & Snowmobiles
Virgil , definitely try spraying the starter fluid in the intake valve through the air filter to see if you can get it to start. And yes , change the plug even if there is spark . The plug might be bad and covered with carbon burning it out . I just thought of one more thing that happened to my machine and why it wouldn't start. I had a mouse nest in the intake valve compartment that clogged the air filter. Thats from the machine sitting in the shed all winter. They crawled in there through the vent hose that hangs down under the machine . It brings air to the intake valve . They blocked all the air from getting to the carb. Found 2 dead ones in there and a huge nest. They were busy little bastids . LOL Oh man was that gross cleaning that out -

By all means add some gas to the tank like Mowin suggested . This alone could be " Problem Solved ". So do this 1st. Rob-C checked off the fuel shut off valve. And Rob-C just beat me to the possible vent line . Here are a couple other easy things to check . The kill switch to make sure it didn't get moved by accident. On my Honda its right above the start button . I looked for a picture of yours and it looks like its in the same place near the start button. It easily can get switched and go unnoticed Take the spark plug wire off and check it for spark by holding it next to the plug or other metal. If there is spark put it back on and spray some starter fluid on the air filter in the intake valve . If it fires up with the spray then its in the gas line. Might want to check the gas filter on the gas line too. It could be clogged up . Hope one of the suggestions everyone made works out for you . They are all easy fixes except the carb being gummed up . But they do make some good additives that you mix in with the gas in the tank that work great too without taking it apart -

If it cranks every time you hit the start button then its not the starter. Only if you hear the starter solenoid click but no cranking. I thought you said it was dead as in no power after you shut it off . Now you might be talking carburator gummed up . Did it smoke alot when first started it and had it running ? If it smokes at the beginning , it could be the choke flooding the carburator . -

Virgil , try this . To start with a known fully charged battery , make sure the key is off or disconnect the positive terminal and put your battery tender on it till its fully charged . Reconnect the battery and try to start it . It it doesn't start , shut the key off for a few seconds , then turn it back to the on position . Then kickstart or pull start it. If it starts right up , you have a dead spot on your starter . You mentioned in your post that you had it running , then shut it off , then tried to start it again and it was dead after just having it running. To me all that points to the starter . If you dont have the kick start or pull start option , find the starter and tap on it with a wrench or small hammer . Dont bash it , but give it a few good taps. Do this while holding down your start button . Do you hear a click and then nothing when you try to start it ? Thats another sure sign that its the starter. I have no idea why your throttle side is getting hot except what was mentioned about a heater . Throttle sides dont usually have any wires . If it was your ignition side I would take a wild guess and say it might be a solenoid switch stuck open. This would also drain your battery. -
Sharp looking truck NYT ! A week to figure out all the gizmos ? I've had my truck for 3 years and still haven't figure them out !

Hope everyone in your family recovers swiftly S F . There has been many recent cases around here also. And the overwhelming majority who are getting it, like 25 to 1 , are fully vaxed -
For 15 bucks a shot , I would just go buy the turkey ! And no gutting and plucking involved !

I would have to believe that G-Man's insurance company keeps this accident report on file after 25 of them So when G-Man calls in to file a claim " Hi this is G-Man calling in to file a claim " --- Insurance Agent " Same as usual ? " --- G-man " Yup , whacked another one " --- Insurance Agent " Ok , dont bother filing a report . We will just send the adjuster out "

Trial , what kind of gun and caliber and bullet grain was she shooting when that happened ? Bolt action, lever , pump ? Sounds like she was over gunned . I think the Red Dot suggestion is good if the plan is to shoot less than 75 yards . A scout rifle and scope work but I have never liked the limited field of view with the scope so far down the barrel . My suggestion is a lower caliber semi auto rifle like a 243 or a 7mm08 shooting Hornady Lite bullets or definitely something in the 120grain range . Get a quality scope that has the rubber shield around the frame , and a 4 inch eye relief . All these things combined would dramatically reduce recoil. But the 2 that would reduce it the most is a semi auto rifle using Hornady Custom Lite . You might be able to dramatically reduce the chances of that happening again by just switching to the Custom Lite loads. It was meant for women and kids . From what I read , it reduces recoil by 50 percent all by itself. https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/custom-lite#!/

VH a Browning Bar lacks nothing ! You missed out last spring on some quality Browning Bar MK 3 carbines. LL Cote in Errol NH brought in a special order of 100 of these . They sold out in 2 weeks between selling them in their store and gunbroker . They went for $1,300 . Here is one of them that resold on gunbroker for $2000 . They weighed 6.9 lbs with a 19 inch barrel and deadly accurate . Two guys on another site each bought one . All bullet holes touching dead center on the bulls eye . https://www.gunbroker.com/item/921672300 I have been hunting with a Browning Bar since 1985 . My old one is a standard 22 inch barrel with a steel receiver . Weighs close to 7 1/2 pounds . In 2017 a gun shop in Constable NY brought out a special run of 50 Browning Bar carbines in 30-06 with an 18 inch barrel that weighed 6 1/2 lbs with special fiber optic iron sights that I had never seen before . You adjust the front and read sight with an allen wrench. The front sight moves left / right and periscopes up and down . I bought 2 of these . Never mind a clover leaf .I literately put 4 shots just about in the same hole . All my other rifles now take a back seat to this gun . I put a Leupold VX6 1x6 with a Firedot Duplex reticle on it and cant be happier . Moog has one of these rifles too that he bought from a member here Billdoggie . They have not made any with those iron sights since this batch of 50. The recoil on these new Browning Bar carbines is probably 1/2 compared to my older standard Bar because of the Influx technology pad. Feels like I'm shooting a 243 instead of a 30-06. If you are really interested you should check out Performance Shooting in Constable NY to see what special order Browning Bars they might have coming up .

First came Crypto Currencies . They have become somewhat reality because the transactions cant be traced . Great way for hackers , drug dealers , ransom ware payoffs etc to get paid and cant be traced . Even some legitimate real estate sales are now accepting Crypto . But buying Virtual Real Estate out in La La land that you can never walk on , or actually see other than on your computer ? Have people gone nuts ? This is like buying a city block on " The Sims " video game . https://medium.com/predict/are-people-crazy-to-buy-virtual-land-for-millions-of-dollars-f7e9a0411af2

Nice looking gun ! I know a few guys that hunt with the 220 . I think how you plan on hunting with it will determine what scope to get. If you are woods hunting , a 1 1/4 x 4 , a 1 1/2 x 5 , or a 1 x 6 . If you mostly hunt out of a tower or treestand overlooking fields then you might consider a higher power scope . But like fasteddie mentioned , I dont think I have turned my 3x9 power scope higher than 6 power even on 150 yard shots . I'm in the process of changing over most of my scopes from 3x9's to lower power scopes . If you really like the red dots , try looking at some of the lower variable power Firedot scopes . Thats what I'm switching over to . I LOVE that Firedot duplex reticle on moving targets ! Its a game changer .
