She don't like to start in the cold and after sitting - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

Gauntlet3D · 01-19-2012, 02:12 PM

Any ideas? It's more of when it sits for a while but the cold of course makes things worse. It just keeps cranking over and over. It seem like it's not getting fuel. Choked and trottle pinned. Am I not doing something right? Or is there another trick?

try to primer it? battery charged?

rich450es · 01-19-2012, 02:15 PM

use the cold weather primer pump on the right side of carb ...just pump it 3 times ,put on the choke and crank it over .....dont touch the gas

When I had my Ruby I had the same problem and what I had to do was push the primer button on the carb a few times.
You may have already done this, but its all I can think of.

**** the primer. I knew the 450s had one but i put on my snorkle almost right after getting this thing. Not sure if I can get at it. i will have to look. Thanks. Sometimes I feel like an idiot.

If you have a snorkel you'll probably have to use a stick/pliers/screwdriver or something like that to push it, unless you have small hands.
