Re: '07 Rhino dies when idleing

While riding thick timber trails last week with my wife aboard, we would occasionally stop for a breather or to look at the color changes. I would leave it running. After about 3 minutes or so, it would just die. The idle is set fast enough and probably more than the book calls for. The fist time, I thought my wife just turned it off but she said she didn't. The next couple of times I was hoping she had turned it off because we were riding alone and about 5 miles from camp. It would start right up every time. Checked the fuel filter and it is clear. I have had to change the filter seveal times from it picking up trash from the tank. The only engine mods are a CDI box,RAIS tube.rejetting and an FMF pipe. The plug looks good and it runs strong. It just up and dies for not apparent reson. It acts almost as if it is on a timer when idleing. the next time out, I will take the OEM CDI box and change it if it does it again.

Anyone else had anything similar to this happen to them? If so, what was the cure?

Re: '07 Rhino dies when idleing

Mine dies for no reason after idling for a few minutes and is a little hard to start after. Other than that is runs fine. I have no clue what is happening. If anyone has an answer I am interested also.

I have also rerouted the fuel filter to make it easier to get to.  The next time it happens, I will also check it first to see if it is running out of fuel.  It doesn't act like one starving for fuel.  It just dies like someone cut off the key.  Just makes me suspect the CDI.
