It's more common than most would think.

And the last thing almost all would think of.

I checked the boot clamps on my 500 a few weeks ago, and they were loose.

This looks like a maintenance issue that gets overlooked.

Well, this post saved another this weekend. I had the backfire which blew the carb part way off the boot. There was about a 1/16" air gap at the top and that was enough. It would start if you gave it enough gas, but would not idle. I trailered it home from where it quit and found it today thanks to this post.

Much obliged fellas for sharing your information.

Now if I could just solve this pesky oil leak without having to pull the motor, I'd be all set.
