Howdy, lots of reading but first time posting.
I bought a 2004 Sportsman 600 twin with only 50 hrs on it a while ago that was running really rough and with only the choke out. I stripped everything down, ended up buying a new Carb for it. I put everything back together with a new fuel filter, air filter, carb and plugs. it won't even start now!
Checked spark - Good
Checked fuel line - Good
Sprayed in quick start - Runs for a second!
So I read that the fuel pump really works off of back pressure from the air filter, so I tried covering the air intake and it draws gas in. Then I touch the throttle and bang it starts and runs for a second then dies.
I'm guessing that something is causing it to not have enough back pressure to draw the gas in? not 100% sure how the fuel pump works or where its located.
