Ok well I haven't really posted on here as I hardly ride my kfx , but need some help.

Ok so I have a 08kfx and the other day I decided to get it out, since I bought some new nerfs and wanted to put them on. I have been storing it outside in a canopy, for about 2 months. I live in Michigan so it is pretty cold right now.

Anyway so I go to start it and it took a few min. to get it to fire and run. So I let it warm up and rode it for about 5 min. around the yard in the snow. 2 days later and now it won't start again. So I pulled the plug and it was just all wet, so I cleaned it and put it back in, still no luck. It turns over fine. I had the heat on in the garage which is where its been for the 2 days. I don't know if the heat was on long enough to thaw a frozen line if that is the problem.

Anyone have any ideas what else could be causing the problem. I purchased it brand new when it came out and it probably has between 10-20hrs(maybe). It had the recall done on the fuel pump/leaking issue.

By the way it is stock other than a Baldwin Motorsports kill switch. It ran fine with it before.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan

Sounds like your not sparkin. Check your dead man kill and change the plug.

Actually what i found out is that I needed to use the high idle knob when it is cold out. I never knew it had one, so problem solved. Thanks anyway.
