hi guys. i deceided to buy a snorkel from this guy.HONDA RANCHER AND HONDA RINCON SNORKEL KIT
kits kinda crappy if your wondering... ok well it will run and start. but now it will not do over 10 mph. when i go any faster it starts to die out. i have a hmf swamp series on it, k&n filters, and someother stuff. why wont the blame thing run right anymore? im worried

You may need a jet kit but first u might wanna get the facts out of the way by stating what year and model bike u have also include what size pipe was used?

2" would have been the best way to go since you have other mods. You're probably starving the machine of fuel and most of all air.

Ill bet its a Rubicon.

You need 2 inch. I had the same problem when I bought a 1 1/2. I used it as a template and made my own 2 inch. Good luck and maybe you can return it once you use it as a template.

1 1/2 will work. Just gotta get the right sized jet.

Green demon I agree you are right but you will lose all the power from the exhaust and airfilter upgrade. That would be a shame.

Right, thats why I was saying 2" would be better. Seems like his mods would cancel each other out.
