	I have a 98 ZL 500 that will start and run for awhile, then start backfiring and dies. It just started doing this 2 days ago, before that it was running just fine. I have cleaned out the carbs and changed the plugs and it still does it. Also if it is running and you turn it off with any of the switches(ignition, kill switch, or tether) it won't shut off, it will just start running rough. Any ideas? Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	You might want to look over the switches in the throttle or just unplug them they might not be working correctly. If your throttle is to lose the swithches might not be working properly and causing it to cut out and bog Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	can you say "stator"? Just went through this, on a 99, Cat are noted for this problem. Easy but expensive fix. I was lucky and ran across a new AC one for half price. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Stator probably, also pull your reeds and check them. To be old and wise you must first be young and stupid. SLEDS: 2000 MXZ 700 2001 Formula/MXZ 500 Drafting/CAD Student at Alfred State Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
