I WENT RIDING N MUD MY GAS WAS N THE ON POSITION AND IT STARTS IDELING EXTREMELY REALLY FAST AND IT DIES I TRIED TO START AND IT WOULDNT PUT IT ON RESERVE AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP PUT IT ON THE TRUCK AND WENT HOME STARTED IT YESTERDAY IF I TURN THE CHOKE ON IT IDELS GOOD AND RUNS GOOD BUT IF I TURN THE CHOKE OFF IT IDELS EXTREMELY REALLY FAST AND MY REVERSE LIGHT FLASHES ANY INFO ON WHAT MAY CAUSE THIS

 

TRIED TO START IT TONIGHT AND IT JUST ABOUT STARTED BUT IT DIDNT IT BACKFIRED A COUPLE TIMES I COULDNT MESS WITH IT TO MUCH IT WAS ABOUT 330 IN THE MORNING I GET OFF WORK AT 2 IN THE MORNING

ANY INFO IS APPRECIATED

 

Seems to me the flashing reverse light means the motor has been overrevved.
Id start by looking over the throttle cable, and make sure its not hung up, or pinched somewhere, and is holding the throttle open.

 

I TOOK THE COVER OFF OF THE THUMB CONTROL FOR THE THROTTEL AND THE COVER OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE CARB WHERE THE CABLE HOOKS ON THE ROCKER IT ALL IS WORKING FINE
IF I START IT ON RESERVE AND MOVE IT TO THE ON POSITION {GAS TANK} IT WILL IDEL SMOOTH FOR A 45 SECONDS OR SO AND THEN IT IDLES REALLY FAST AGAIN AND DIES

DO U THINK THE ON POSITION IS CLOGGED UP AND MAYBE A DIRTY CARB IS MY PROBLEMS

 

Could be. Is the gas level in the tank too low?
The increased idle speed, and dieing ...point to running lean. If you leave it on the res position...will it run ok?

 

MY BUDDY FROM WORK HELPED ME FIX IT THERE WAS A PIECE OF SOMETHING IN THE GAS LINE

WE TOOK THE GAS TANK OFF AND PULLED A FEW HOSES AND BLOWED AIR IN IT TO MAKE SURE THEY WAS NOT CLOGGED UP AND ON PROBABBLY THE FORTH HOSE SOMETHING CAME OUT AND NOWIT WORKS FINE
