Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 yamaha grizzly 660 atv. there seems to be a tremendous amount of heat generated by this machine causing the fuel in the carburetor to heat up which then causes the machine to vapor lock(sputter, cut out & back fire) & not run properly. this has happened to my machine a number of times and most recently on march 1st of 2003. i have been fortunate in that it has not happened at a critical time during riding ie. going up an incline.*jb
