What does it mean when your ATV won’t idle?
When the engine idles fine but won’t rev up, it is a sign of it getting too little fuel, but it can also be because it is getting too much fuel. The ATV may run fine at low speeds, but as soon as you apply a little or a lot of throttle, the engine will bog down and turn off.
What should I do if my ATV is not getting fuel?
Try starting the engine for at least 20 seconds. If it does start, don’t let it run for longer than 20 seconds. Then you want to sit and wait about 10 minutes or so. You need to give the fuel injector cleaner time to do its work. Repeat the process five more times, but only try to start for 10 seconds, and then let sit for ten minutes.
Why does my ATV run for a few minutes then stall?
As the engine heats up the coil looses its resistance and fails to deliver the charge needed to start the engine. Without bombarding you with technical numbers or making you buy testing equipment, I would simply run the ATV until it dies and pull the plug.

Ensure the fuel lines are not clogged or bent so that they do not allow proper fuel flow. Replace any clogged or damaged lines and make sure they are correctly installed with no kinks. If your bike has a separate fuel filter, it may be clogged up from years of riding or contaminated fuel. Replace the filter with a new one.
