welcome to the forum !
im having a hard time figurining out what you are trying to say is wrong with your foreman ?
i guess it stalled and you cant get it running again . will it run if you put the choke on ? is the gas turned on ?

The gas is on and the spark plug is good it was running when we got it stuck died and wouldn't crank back u can't take the air filter off and place ur hand over the filter hole and try to crank it and it doesn't have any suctions where the air filter goes

try pulling the spark plug and pouring a little gas down the hole and see if it will start or atleast pop

Could it be a broken timing chain?

Even with gas in the plug hole it still just tries to crank we unscrews the valve whole and the valves are moving but still doesn't crank

rich450es · 02-05-2012, 11:34 AM

take the plug out and put your thumb over the sparkplug hole and turn it over .....see if it blows your thumb off the hole

Hondaowner · 02-05-2012, 11:38 AM
