spoke with a buddy, thinks it lost fuel pressure and to cycle the key and it may come back up, makes sense. will try next time. makes me wonder where it could be happening at, in the tank or at the carb. i know it's injected, still looks like a carb though.
won't start when at an angle
I've had this happen a few times... I've noticed that when i've gotten the 4 wheeler at an extreme angle, not even extreme really. but maybe a 45 degree angle, both sideways and front to back.. if it dies or i killed it, then i cannot get it started until i get it back on level ground. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there's a device that keeps it from starting or not if past a certain angle? It happened to me when i was nose down and to the right once. wouldnt start until i leveled it out. and again after laying it over sideways then uprighting it where the front was up and high on left maybe 20 degrees. i cranked and cranked that day and it wouldnt start... thought my battery was going to die. i have a photo of how the 4 wheeler was sitting when it wouldnt start. i'll attach it. it's a ridiculous spot where i laid it over, some hard pack ruts i tried to straddle, left wheel went into right rut, right front climbed the bank and it dumped over. embarassing spot.. all i knew was i was on the ground and here comes the kodiak over on me. I winched it upright first, .. as i had hurt my leg and had to get it flipped back over ..anyway...it wouldn't start right there in that pic. i then winched it up and onto more level ground and it cranked right up. just makes me think it has some kind of device on it somewhere. fyi i had full tank of gas.
added another pic which is after i kicked myself out from under it but before i flipped it upright. was hot, dry, and some hard *** ground where i got dumped at. just not that steep of an angle.... so trying to figure that out.

Depending on angle of tilt, the Tip- Over Sensor ... its located just in front of the handlebar, under black cover on the left side(sitting on seat)... has 3 wires-Gray connector

: the yellow wire with green tracer ,a blue wire and a blue wire with black tracer(on my 2016 Kodiak 700). ITS DESIGN TO CUT OFF ENGINE AT SEVERE ANGLES- it is suppose to reset itself onec back on level but they can stick. Can't bypass it without taking it apart(not recommended) -replace with new.
