[ryn0909]

rhino 660 running fine and i parked it. i gave the throttle a quick rev then shut it off.... about 3 seconds after i shut it off, it backfired pretty loud. now it wont start at all...... cranks over but it doesnt even try to fire at all...... any help would be greatly appreciated.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Backfiring comes from unburned gas in the exhaust. It sounds like it's flooded or gas fouled the spark plug.

well, this was quite a loud backfire. i can crank it over and pump the hell out of the throttle and im not smelling any fuel whatsoever

After spining it over take the spark plug out and see if it's wet or discolored. If so replace it. I'm pretty sure there's no accelerator pump so pumping the pedal does nothing unless it's running.

WOOOHOOO!! i figured it out....... the backfire caused the rubber intake boot to come off of the carburetor. thankfully the clamp was a little loose or i could of had some serious problems..... thanx for the assistance though, i appreciate it.
