so recently my brother took my atv out and now when i get it back it wont go up any sort of incline. It will run through all the gears just fine on flat land but when i try to go up a 4 foot hill it stalls in the middle it sounds like its bogging out real bad. I looked at the air filter there was nothing in the box and the filter is clean, the gas is fresh so there is no water in it, i changed the plug so its not that, now im lost. its not smoking but it sounds like it back fires when it slows down or when i shift down. my brother said he had it in a creek and was doing donuts on a slate bottom, from what this sounds like is the top end blown on my atv or does anyone have any idea on how to fix this issue..


thanks i could use the help...

Welcome to Hondaforeman.com!! You might try cleanind the carb or running some Sea Foam through it. Sounds like a dirty Carb problem.

When my recon was about six months old it would not climb a hill without stalling. It eventually got to where it would not idle, so I took it to the shop to have the carb cleaned and it has ran great since then, I can climb hills now with no problems, it idles great but in warm weather it acts like it is flooded when started after sitting overnight, other than that its great.

I agree.. sounds like the carb. If you dont have sea foam just take carb cleaner and spray it out..also check your vent lines. Should be an easy fix.
