Hi,
I am hoping I did not just make a big mistake. I bought my dad a used big bear 454 with about 4000 miles on it for use around the farm. It has a blade, runs well.
My only concern is that it smokes for the first 2 minutes when you start it up.
Will this hurt anything? I bought it from a Arctic Cat dealer...he seemed to really know AC ATVs. Maybe he knew them too well and took advantage of me.
The other things I notice is that once in awhile at idle it will literally "stop" running, then continue. He told me this was "normal" when I asked him about it.
Finally, when I shut it off, the engine kinda "clangs" 1 time when it quits.
Anyone that can tell me what is going on?
Thanks in advance for the help.
