I know that this is the ZRT/Tcat section, of which I am the proud owner of a 00 Tcat. But on the othe hand my 7 year old daughter is the proud owner of her first sled a 95 Kitty Cat 60cc. Here's the story, I got this from a freind and it had been sitting w/fuel in it for 3 years. I pulled the tank off, drained and cleaned. Replaced all fuel lines and inline filter. Pulled the cab and did a very good cleaning. Put everything back together and it started on the second pull. Let it warm up for 2 min and ran it around the yard, and then it died in under 5 min. If you try to start it, it will and idle 30 sec and then die again. If you let it cool and sit for 30min it will start right up and run for a few min and die. I know this is the big block section but does anyone have an idea??? By the way it has a BR6___ plug in it, does that sound right? Thanks, Chad

If you keep the throttle applied will it keep running? If it dies when idling, I would look for a plugged pilot jet. Or if it's running really rich make sure choke is seated fully.

There is a jet within the jet that gets dirty all of the time. Take apart again and the long jet has a jet screwed inside. Unscrew the 2 clean put back together. Problem solved!!!!

could also sound like water in the carbs and fuel pump, becaused i worked on a zr 700 that acted that way so what i did is kept it in a heated shop over night pulled the carbs and cleaned them drained the gas tank put fresh gas in with some heat, took it for a ride 15 minutes latter she starved for gas and died, talked to a arctic cat dealer about it and they said take the fuel pumps off and open them up and check for water, so i did and found water in both fuel pumps, got that cleaned out and put back together and she runs great now, my only question is why didn't the heat take the water out of the fuel pumps in the first place?
