Title: 2007 Rancher stalls
Post by: fastang on February 08, 2009, 08:22:05 PM
A buddy has a 2007  Honda Rancher 420 that stalls out.  It will run fine for awhile then start stalling out and won't stay running.  After sitting for awhile it will run fine.  We drained gas, and ran sea foam through it.  Same thing.

Any suggestions?

When you say you drained the gas, did you drain the carb? Do it a few times. There's debris stuck in the carb's high needle jet.

It's fuel injected.

Drain the Carb. I had a friend with the same atv and the same problem. Once we drained the carb a few times it worked just fine. Did you get it submerged in mud?

my rubicon acted the same way. run fine for a while then sputter and quit running. when it doesnt want to start back up choke it. thats what i had to do to get it back to the truck. but i cleaned the carb and i even took the tank out and cleaned it too. Also check and make sure the vents hose arent clogged. like i said worked for me. hope this helps

In that case, if the fuel is not bad, you'll need Honda's help(fuel pump/throttle body sensor).

sounds like tank not venting creating a vacuum

Fixed.  We had taken the gas tank and throttle body off and cleaned it.  We put fresh gas in it and it still was stalling.  We ended up taking it to a repair shop and apparently there was tons of water in the fuel pump.  He drained it and now it runs like a champ.  Thanks for all your help.
