P500 Stalled and quit wouldn't start acted like it was not getting fuel

[Chipper20]

My 16 p500 stalled on the trail and wouldn't start. When it would start after a while would run for min then die. Acted like it was fuel starved. And no it wasn't out of gas. Any ideas?

Now there's a nice first post introduction?
Welcome to the Honda forum @Chipper20 . There is a site search tool that can be utilized in the upper right hand corner.

Maybe bad gas or trash in tank? Bad angle sensor? Could be a lot of things.

@Chipper20, Welcome to the club. I hate seeing issues like this bring people here. But that is why we are here.

Tell us more about your rig.
- Is it new?
- Do you keep it outside?
- Have you recently washed it?
- Has it set in the rain?

I agree with above, sounds like water in the fuel. I would pump it all out and fill with at least 2 gallons of high test and see what you get.

Please keep us updated on what you find.

I figured out the problem. It's a 16 500 miles on it. Wiring harness was loose and allowed ignition coil wire to get to close to exhaust. I fixed the wire and put harness back where it should have been. Check plug because it backfired and it was cracked too. Problem solved. Got lucky

Bit of a long shot but make sure the wire loom didn't rub on the engine.
I heard the loom right behind the battery box can be close to the engine.
If a random wire shorts out who knows what will fail.

(Note to long time members - this is not a thread about the battery box, how crappy it is, nor how we should get out the pitchforks and torches to "get " the rascal that inflicted it upon us)

Thx a bunch. Other than spark i havent tried the electrical side of things.
