> [@Fire In The Hole!!!!!!!!!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fire-in-the-hole/31019/30): > > So last night I decided to try to start my quad ('07 Polaris Outlaw 500) since it hasnt been ran in almost two months. > The battery was dead as expected so I hooked up a jumper pack and it fired up after a few tries and ran. I let it ride for about 20 minutes and then I tried to ride it and it died when I put it in gear so I jumped it again. Then I took the jumper off and it died again. > I rode it halfway down my yard with the jumper still hooked up and then it fell off and the quad died again and wouldnt start so I just pushed it back up the yard and hooked a battery charger to it overnight. > > Today after work I started it up and it ran then died and started a few times like it always seems to do and I rode it down the yard again and it backfired and then died and now wont start at all. > > It cranks fine and theres compression but it wont start. Theres a half tank of gas in it and Im pretty sure its getting fuel or otherwise it wouldnt have ran at all. > > I sprayed starting fluid in the carb with no results. > > What seems to be the problem? ^AlpineSkiier likes this. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/quad-wont-run/253620)._
