This site will help you reset the check engine light.

are you into troubleshooting? Probably not, but one must have fuel, ignition, and air to make things burn or run an ICE.
What don't you have?
Is there an ignition source? Did you pull the spark plug and verify it will spark?
Is there fuel? No, not in the tank, it must be getting to the engine.
Is the spark plug wet? If it isn't wet with fuel, you are not getting fuel.
Is there air? No, not what you are breathing, but getting to the carburetor. Did you check the air cleaner?

it could be something clogged up and it is running out of fuel,i would check fuel lines,carburetor,etc. does it start right back up?if not,give it a few minutes to let fuel fill up carburetor,then try starting.if it starts back up after letting it sit a few ,sounds like fuel starvation to carburetor.

Has it been sitting up? sounds like the carb needs cleaning... runs about 8-15 seconds then dies... sits for a few and then will do the same thing??

Have the carb/FI cleaned and set...

repost with details..

battery is being drained as it operates and not taking charge

check tightness and clean both terminals and cables

how old is the battery
may have a dead cell ..wont take charge

check the charging input to the battery with a volt meter
has to be above 12 volts
if lower or equal to 12 volts ...no good
the charging stator inside the engine needs testing or repair or replace

stator is another word for an alternator or a generator


why it plays up
best guess the ATV if a 12 volts system wont run on 11 volts

My opinion, it's running rich and letting it idle for 5 minutes doesn't help. Whether it's carbed or EFI, when the machine is cold, it needs more fuel. As engine temperature increases, it doesn't need as much fuel, and the carbon that started building up on the plug is burned back off. When a machine isn't ran for very long, carbon deposits continue to build on the plug. The carb itself may need to be rejetted/adjusted, it it's running rich,

Fuel issue blocked jet maybe on the carb unlikely as new but sounds like a fuel starvation issue

Repost under ATV for an answer

check in ignition system.something heating up.

johnnymleder, Remove sparkplug from engine. reconnect sparkplug to sparkplug wire. Make sure sparkplug is in contact with engine cylinder head. If you don't see a spark when cranking engine over( in dark garage at night) then something will be wrong with the motor's ignition system and will require servicing it to restore operation. If you see spark then reinstall plug into the engine. Do NOT connect ignition wire!!! Crank engine for 15-25 seconds. Do you smell RAW GASOLINE at the tailpipe??? If NO you may have clogged fuel system. Have FIRE extinguisher handy at ALL times when performing work on any fuel system!!!! Good luck with repair!! 12fixlouie
