XGX7PM Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Someone point me in the direction of a reputable shop in WNY that is not afraid of an older machine. ł have a 1996 Arctic Cat Bearcat 454 that is in need of some attention. Just had it in a local shop (For a month) to get her running after sitting for some time and ł was told they cleaned the carb and it's running strong so long as you use the pull cord, they didn't even look at the switch or trace the wires to see why it won't start by key/button. Seems like they didn't want to put any time in to the machine. Get it back to my place and it's bogging, like it isn't getting gas. It dies out on inclines and doesn't want to run. (Couldn't even make one lap around my trails.) Not sure if there is a float in the carb that isn't set right. ł would like to drop it off somewhere that can perform an overhaul on this machine. ł know it's old, ł know it's likely to have a variety of issues, ł don't expect it back in a week and ł know it won't be cheap. Any suggestions? Edited July 24, 2018 by XGX7PM Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
