Was quite a hot day today, 27c, and I gave the quad quite a hard ride for more than an hour. All was fine with the engine.
Stopped to adjust shocks, tried to start, nothing. Pressing the button does nothing, like when it's in H gear and brake isn't pressed.
No starter click, sound, nothing.
Sometimes hear the quad "resetting", like it does when you turn the key, trrrrrrrr, k-k-k-k-k-k. But the display doesn't actually reset.
Took 20 min or so, and it eventually just worked when I pressed the button and the started worked and it started right away and ran fine.
Drove pretty hard to get home quick, like another 10 minutes of perfectly fine engine, and it just lost all power and died. Wouldn't start again.
Now, at that point I tried a few things, like opening the gas cap (and there was pressure or vaccum, I can't tell, but there was quite a bit. So did it die because of an improper vent, and is that unrelated to the no-start issue? I don't know). But because it was hot, it did the same thing as 1st time and wouldn't start.
Funny thing, if I let the display turn off, and tried to start it just as it "turned on", the engine started fine for 1 second but as the display was done resetting, engine died.
Eventually, it just (I think?) cooled, and it just started again no issues, and I was able to drive to my trailer with no issues. Once in the trailer, I tried to start it again hot, wouldn't start.... once home, started right away.
Doesn't feel like there is any strain on the starter or engine, when it starts, it starts right away, and when it won't start, it does nothing.
Battery is new and good voltage, connections are tight, fuel is new, gear doesn't help (P, N, H, R, L)
Any ideas why it would refuse to start hot? Do you think that it died for the same reason, or it's the fuel pressure? (clogged vent valve?)
Only 700km on the quad, never flooded, engine turns and starts fine all the time, doesn't feel like there is ever any strain on it.... feels like an electical/electronic issue to me.
Ideas of a fix?
