Hard to start - the saga continues

I wasn't able to get the quad out this weekend because of the weather, but I did ride it up and down the street.

I'm somewhat concerned about even that short ride. I went up the street, keeping the throttle low but cycling thru the gears to get the speed up. I went up and down the street twice. At the end of my second "lap" it stalled. It took me probably a minute to get it started again. Maybe longer.

When it doesn't start, it feels like it's too hot to start.

Should I bother taking it out to run it off road or just bring it back to a different dealer?

Check the swirl tank filter yet?

I'm no expert.. but I've heard of that being a common issue.

Sounds like they didn't put the decompression plug in properly. Either that or the battery is weak from not riding.

Different dealer, take 'er back.
