So guys I have a 2005 artic cat 250 that I use on the farm. The atv wouldn't hardly start so I did the routine steps checked the spark plug(good), checked carb and fuel lines(good), and checked compression(good). So I toggled on the gear shift linkage and it started. I thought I had it fixed, but as I drive it, it quits and then you have to restart it and it sputters and spits as you drive. Is my neutral switch going bad or linkage or what!!!!!!!!? It's hard to get into neutral but if I turn the steering bars side ways the neutral light will come on. I know my info is broad but someone please help!

Download a parts manual from < mymowerparts.com> .Then, I would check the wiring to the neutral safety switch. Neutral safety switches can be a PITA. My 400 and 500 AC feature the (Start in gear feature). Don't know how I've gotten by without a neutral safety switch, haha.
