Since the very first ride after I bought my boy his DS 70 (2018) I have had an issue with it cutting off after splashing through water and not wanting to start for a minute or 2 waiting for wherever it is to dry off that is causing it. I went through and put dialectic grease on all the connections and it continued to do it. Not nearly as bad as before but still. Today before we went riding I put a good bit in the spark plug boot but toward the end of the day it started doing it again. Do y’all have any ideas on what might be causing this and a solution? Also I buy and sell wheelers a lot and it seems like every little one I get when I break them down to clean the carbs all the dry box and boots and what not seem to be siliconed. Is this standard practice on these small ones or just coincidental that I keep getting them that way?

Drying out that quick makes me think it's getting wet on the spark-plug or coil, and the engine heat is drying it out.

Water getting into the connector down by the engine is also a cause, but then it normally takes a half hour or more to dry.

I'd use the garden hose to wet one part at a time till it conks..

      In search of my first ATV? What are good older 4x4 models?

      So I decided to pick up a small trailer if I could get one for the right price.  I found this one for a few hundred bucks on Craig’s list.  It is  a galvanized trailer which is exactly what I was looking for. The wood was shot and needed some minor repairs which I could care less about as long as the chassis was good. 
      I striped it down and put a new deck on. I had some vinyl realtree graphics that I had laying around so I added them to the fenders which I think worked out well. Very happy with this little guy.  
      I'm having the iron workers at my jobmake me up a few lightweight side rails that will have a 22 degree bend in them to accommodate the tires that slightly hang over the edge and will incorporate some tie down points as well.

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.
