Hey all,
Well i think i swamped my foreman. i was up to the top of the fenders in water and had to let off the gas and it died. i tried to start it up right away but i couldnt get it going right. i think water ran up the exhaust it would start and idle but when i would give it gas it would dog down. it finally dried out and tried the mud puddle again and it died the same thing happend but that time it was running when it started to dog down i dont know whats going on with it. maybe you do
Thanks

well its doing it again today but i havent been in the water. it starts perfetly then when i give it gas it dogs down. i think i found the carb bowl pulled the screw out and there was nothing in there i dont know whats going on. i think im gunna push it off a cliff. thanks for the tip truegrit
but i dont think its the problem

 

[05foreman500]

thanks for the help i will see what i can do next weekend. i hope thats the problem. you guys dont think it could be anything electrical or internal do ya?
Thanks again for the help

the wierd thing is when i choke it it runs faster in stead of dieing out. i don't know hopefully 5 days will be long enuf to dry out. thanks fot the help

 

[05foreman500]

ive turned my idle up and gave it gas, choked it and evey thing.
is that screw on the carb bowl on the right side next to the drain hose?
also if you guys think it could be the other two hoses why would the water stay in there after a day?
and if it is still in there how do i get it out?

another thing that sucks is Minnesota only allows a snorkel to be 6" higher then stock <----- that sucks
sorry to keep buggin you guys i just wanna try to get it back to NEW

when i took out the screw there was nothing in there, i also blew out the drain hose. i havent checked the other two hoses it will probably take awhile to find them. but i will try to clean out those 2 hoses.

truegrit your saying to find them 2 hoses and blow whatevers in there into the carb then drain the carb threw that drain screw? turn gas back on for 30 sec. then drain again correct? just wanna make sure im not reading it wrong.

 

[05foreman500]

ok i will just tahe them all off and blow them out. if that dont work i guess i will have to rip apart the carb. thanks again for the help
