Snowmobile starts, but then dies- Carb?
Posted on Jan 14, 2010 under snowmobile dealers |I have a 1981 Yamaha Enticer 250cc (single cylinder engine). I paid $500 to replace some parts in the carb and I am getting problems already. I was driving it and drove faster then other times (60km/h max). When I came to a stop and released the throttle, the engine automatically shut off and I couldn’t get it started again. So I waited an hour, and got it started. If I didn’t give it throttle, it would die right away and would have to wait another 1 hour before being able to start it again. How come it needs to cool off???? when I start it and want to keep it running, I have to rev up the engine and keep reving it. Before it broke down that day, it worked perfectly, and now I am all of a sudden getting problems.
-I cannot get it to idle anymore
-I can take it for a ride, but cannot stop or release the throttle until I get back home, unless I don’t mind being stranded for an hour
Different people are telling me different things and I am confused. I do not want to take it back to the dealer and pay another $500. But I don’t know too much about these machines. Should I clean the carb, or adjust something?
sounds like you need to idle it up some and change your plug and if it sounds Bogey or fluids then clean your carb and i know this is going to sound funny but smell your oil and if it smell like gas your fluding out and your carb needs cleaning and check your coil and make sure that its not getting hot that could be the reson you have to wait untill it cools down before it starts one more thing make sure that all of the Valiume lines are not cracked and all are where they should be hope this helps you .
