Answer
Hi Glen,

The pull starter shouldn't affect the ignition. Was the ATV stored or not started for any periods? What's the condition of the air filter? Describe the appearance of the spark plug. Any other details you can provide are helpful.Reply to the above questions and we'll go from there.

I return tech information files by email. There was no email address with your question as requested and explained in my instructions.


Respectfully,
