Hard starting

[Boxingdonk]

I have a 2022 1000x-4 with 105 miles on it. Took it out last weekend for its first real offloading trip. Now if it sits for than 10 minutes or so I will need to give it some gas otherwise it will start and stall. After I get it fired up it runs great. If it's only off for a few minutes it starts fine. This actually started before hitting the trail, it started fine to get onto the trailer, stopped for gas and filled it up, ALL the way to the top. I figured that was the issue, over filling it and having some form of pressure or something. Ran fine the entire day, and the few times i have driven it since then, just not the first start.

Pull the plugs and check the gap.
make sure your air filter is seated correctly and the hose clamps are tight. Check the easy stuff first, if u dont, it will bite u in the ass

Just realized I installed my snorkel just before the trip, and the vent lines. I will check there first. The vent line for the gas tank seemed odd when doing it per the instructions, T fitting and one way valve, tube and drill into air box. Best spot to look I think is the crap I just installed 🤦‍♂️🤣

You drilled the air box for a vent line?

Don't think I would have done that, but thats me. Hopefully they had you drill the non filtered side...

What fuel tank did you install?

 

[Boxingdonk]

It did not feel right doing this, but I followed the instructions.

omg!!!! its the clean side

 

[Boxingdonk]

I have ordered a new lid already. Like I said, it did not feel right but was late and figured they have to be right.

When i redo this, should I JUST have the one way valve go into the frame?

Oh hell to the PHUCK NO!!!! Do yourself a favor and order a new airbox lid.

Beat me too it 😆

 

[Boxingdonk]

I ordered one as soon as I read the comment about hoping it was the unfiltered side.

I coil the end of the vent hose 2 or 3 times and secure with zip ties, this is how we did our bikes back when I was racing.

 

[Boxingdonk]

Coil the tube that is currently going to the airbox? Or remove the T completely?

I guess I don't understand the purpose of the "T". On mine I put longer tube on the gas tank vent and ran it up the rops, then coiled the top 8' or so 3 times and hold it together with zip ties, it works sorta like a trap on a sink. I do this with all the vents. All have their own tube.

I know you already have a vent kit but maybe check out https://hondasxs.com/members/bayouownbeer.887/ he has nice vent kits that require no mods to air box

 

[Boxingdonk]

I'm not sure the real reason for the T either. I could have sworn when I initially looked at the instructions it didn't have a T, just a one way valve to the frame. That was a solid month or 2 before I bought and installed it. They don't give you printed out instructions, you need to download it, so I went back and downloaded it again when I went to install and that's when I saw it. So I can only assume this is a "newer" set of instructions.

If you have any problem getting a lid let me know, I have a spare one kicking around.

What snorkel kit is this that had you drilling the air box for the vent line? That’s nuts

It's the depth finder from superatv
