Ok, so I just bought this 4wheeler from a guy a couple days ago. When I got it, the battery was dead, so I went up to autozone and picked up a new one. Got home, installed it, but when I went to crank it up, it took several tries and several minutes to get it started. I was constantly having to give it throttle in order for it to start, but once I got it going, I would drive off in 1st gear (obviously) and run it for a few minutes and it would seem to run and idle just fine after it had warmed up (i live in texas so it's not like it was cold out). Next day, same problem. Took forever to start up, had to give it lots of throttle before it would go. Now today it seems like it is progressivley getting harder and harder to start up. What could be my problem? I am planning on taking it in to the local honda atv dealer to have them check it out and do a "tune up" on it. Oh, I did replace the air filter on it. The old one was covered in crap! Could that be part of the problem? Thanks for your help, I am a NOOB when it comes to atv's.
