Big Red Stalling out

[sfrankland]

Went out for a quick run last night with a friend who was in town visiting. While on the trail the bike on 2 different occasions ran a little rough and then stalled and 3 other times it just stall with no warning at all. Each time it stalled it started back up with a quick flick of the key and we were back on our way. Never had the issue before and don't want to have it happen again. It was stalling mostly when we were at low RPM's or at idle and sitting on near level ground. Anyone else have any issues like this?

Sure have! What you described was pretty accurate coming to a stop engine just stalled. Only happened one time just after I got it home, Hasn’t happened since.

I had the same trouble when the fuel level was low. I now try keep it half full or more and have not experienced problem. This may not be your problem but hope it will help.

Mine was full. It did it again today when we were out but I was on a very steep incline. Also when I was in some deep water.

My machine has done this once also, my old Rincon would do this about 10 times a year also.

Mine stalled also over the weekend. This has happened a hadfull of times since new. I won't bother the dealer with it since they won't be able to duplicate it. If it become a more regular thing I will hook up my scope and meters and start to monitor however that takes away from the fun and it feels like I brought my work home

i had the problum also..i switched to premium gas and i took it back to the dealer it back fired for him thank god also...told him to drain reg gas put in my hi test..he thinks it may had water in gas...add dry gas to gas to get water out....also i use stabal so gas does not gum up from not useing it much as id like to...well what ever he did fixed it and i live on a mtn top 2500-2800 ft elv...with a 15-20% grade.

I use premium gas exclusively and try to get no-ethenol premium whenever possible. I also store my Hippo with premium no-ethenol and Sea Foam stabilizer during winter months (times of less use). Was told Sea Foam does much better job than Sta-bil in terms of handling ethenol. Bottom-line: have had no issues so far with stalling. (knock on wood)

Mostly sure the 10% blend will not help anything. Think it's bad now wait untill they start with a higher percent.
Single cylinder engines have the biggest problem when the rpms are low.

I recomend keeping sea foam nearby and storing it with little fuel. Also keep the air filter clean. Ours keeps getting dirty.
