I recently picked up an 01 mountain max 700 for cheap and took it out to the snow for the first time yesterday. It always ran great on the trailer and for the first ten minutes ran flawlessly.
After that initial ten minutes it would act like it is loading up, lose power, sputter and die. It was like I ran out of gas. If I wait a few minutes it would start right up and run great for a minute or two then do the same thing.
My thought is either fuel delivery or electrical but thought I would get some feedback before I tore it down.
Mechanically I am pretty sure the engine is fine. Compression checks and fluid inspections are good.
I have not pulled the carbs on this yet so I am leaning toward that but it sure runs great at first.
Any thoughts?
