>>This Problem is Usually Due to the ECU Heating up. The Symptom is Usually the Engine Runs Until Hot and Quits or Runs Until the Engine is Shut Off while Hot and then the Engine will Not Restart Until Cool and this Process is the Same Each Time the Unit is Operated.
>>Remove the ECU and have it Tested at your Nearest ATV Service Center. Most ATV Service Centers have the ECU Module Tester and can Test it in About 15 to 30 Minutes if they are Not Real Busy.
>>The Cost for Testing the ECU Varies by Region.
