Well this is what were starting with a 2006 raptor 700. Shes got problems but im gonna make it my mission to turn her from a tuesday afternoon lunch date toa friday night naughty throwdown!!

All stock except handlebars and rims and tires and has a black hood.
Problems castle nut for the lower a arm is still MIA waitin for that to arrive any day front left tire has damaged rim so doesant hold air heel guard mounting bracket is broken and it hasnt wanted to start lately. The not starting one im having a hard time figuring out might have to call a certain member for some advice. This is my first non honda quad so its a little rough so far but I think well figure this one out.

when you turn the key (with killswitch in the on position), do you here the fuel pump running?

[Johny_Ringo]

yeah, I'm wondering if its cause its been so coldit was 0 now its 30 and its stored in a cold area it tolls over just fine still not sure what's up

@Aaron.

This is the funyunized rappy.

I know mine had problems starting in the cold, I think I had to hook a jumper to it maybe 2 different times (the real cold stuff).

Next thing I'd go onto is swapping the plug out and checking the TPS? Thoughts?

[Peelz]

you bought an atv from funyun?  Why?

JK.

fouked plug? Did somebody mess with the AF screw? I have had a problem or two when the weather changes.

[Johny_Ringo]

I'm thinkin I'm gonna stop and get a plug on my way home today and drain the gas put new gas in and well see what happens after that I guess, unless anyone else has some cheap ideas

[Krandall]

those are the 2 easiest things to start off with.

I'm really leaning towards the TPS though, especially since it's basically 100% stock.

[Johny_Ringo]

I don't know where to check that or what its at, I haven't picked up a service manual yet and don't wanna bring the laptop out in the garage

TPS is on the side of the throttle body, big black box with 2 security screws.

What should it approximately be set at? Any ideas

[Spartan]

It should read .067-.070 volts from the middle (yellow) wire on the plug with key on. the one that is shown is from a power commander tap, the factory plug is plugged in lower.

Edit- rechecked spec and it is 0.63 ~ 0.73 V (yellow-black/blue wires)

[Krandall]

Do you have a voltmeter?

You'll need one to test it. if you hvae everything off to get the power commander hooked up, it'll be easy to test.

[Johny_Ringo]

Negative on the volt meter but I can pick one up, so should I try to fix this problem now or should I just put on the power commander pipes and intake with the map for it and see what happens ?

[Krandall]

You can put the stuff on. but I wouln't put the plastics and everything on. its one of those since you're there you may as well check it out. kinda things

[Johny_Ringo]

well I bought the stuff came home figured lets try her again, she didnt start just turned over I gave her a little gas after about 3 secs of turnovers battery died. So I put it on the charger she blinked at me after 10 mins over 80% so I said wth one more time LOL and it started right away and threw out some smoky exhaust for a good min then ran and sounded fine gas i let it run for about 5 mins shut it off would have rode it but cant still missing the castle nut. turned it off let it sit for 10 secs and it started right up well see what happens in a few hours I guess
