roebuck1 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi Guys, I have a Honda Fourtrax 250 Recon. I went out last night through some very tall thick grass, the quad did struggle in 3rd gear then died. I started her up first time, however shortly afterwards the quad started coughing when I rev. If I stay at a low speed there is no coughing or spluttering, however in the high revs the bikes really struggling. Has anyone experienced this or might know what has happened. I put the biker in the garage and I wont be using it until later tonight. Thanks, appreciate your suggestions. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 If you was in long grass have you sucked anything into air cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 either water ...(condensate) in the fuel or you need a new plug.....plugs dont last forever...........check the HT lead as well.....could be that water is getting into a crack or something...if it is it will arc out..........do all the easy fixes first ...

sheene7 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Check that there is no dirt in the main jet in your carb , it will run on the pilot jet at low revs and then goes onto the main at higher revs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
