What would cause an ATV to stall?
This could be a combination of things ranging from electrical wiring, engine compression and stator or coil failures. The best way to figure out this kind of problem is to take one issue at a time. Make sure the wiring in these areas has not been melted or chaffed in any way.
How does a choke work on an ATV?
By creating a richer fuel to air ratio, the engine has more gas to stay running. Once the engine is warmed up though, it won’t need the extra fuel. You shouldn’t ride or rev the ATV while the choke is on. Wait for the engine to warm up, turn the choke off, and then you can ride.
What happens when you turn off the choke on an engine?
The choke increases the amount of fuel in the mixture, creating a richer mixture. This allows the engine to function at its best until it has warmed up enough to run on its normal operating fuel mixture. At that point the choke is turned off and the engine runs with a leaner fuel/air mixture.
Can a choke be left on while riding?
You won’t want to leave the choke on while you ride, the choke could actually stall the engine once it warms up. An idle advance is mostly seen on fuel injected engines, but has the same purpose as a choke.
Can a choke be used on a cold engine?
You won’t want to leave the choke on while you ride, the choke could actually stall the engine once it warms up. An idle advance is mostly seen on fuel injected engines, but has the same purpose as a choke. You would use it to start a cold engine.
What kind of ATV runs Great then dies?
I have an 04 sportsman 700 Eli. It runs great for a while but then bogs down and has no power. If I shut it off then turn it back on it will run great again for a while. I would have to keep doing that all day if I want to ride.
How long does a Polaris ATV run before it dies?
It runs about 10 minutes, dies. The really weird part is that if you let it sit about 5 minutes it starts right back up again and runs great again. That is until it dies again.

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.
