Hey gang,
Here's my problem. I bought the atv new in 92 and it has always run great. I use it at the cottage for joy riding, deer hunting and the occasional field plowing ( 1 -2 acres) deer food plot. For the past 2 years I have noticed a black smoke coming out of the muffler at all times. It does not seem to burn well. I have to change the spark plug every few days, I clean and put it back in or just buy new ones. When I rev it up a cloud of smoke comes out.
Recently I noticed that it jerks and does not have a smooth ride. This monday I was out with my daughter and it just stopped. I tried to start it up....negative!!!
The battery is 95% charged.I noticed that the fuel tank is dirty and will change the fuel filter shortly. The fuel pump was checked and it works but the fuel that came out of the fuel filter was rusted and dirty.
I will clean the fuel tank, change the air and fuel filter put in new clean fuel and replace the spark plug. What else should I do before I fire it up?
Thanks gang
