well ive done alot of research and i have tried everything i could find and im still having the same carb troubles. almost since the day i brought this bike home the carb has been a nightmare. i just cleaned everything out, changed the oil, took the carb apart and cleaned everything, but the bike still runs bad, it will run fine for 5 minutes then as soon as i let off the gas or go up a hill it starts running like crap again. now i have swamped the bike a coulple times, but i always clean the carb afterwards. anyone else have this problem? or have any ideas on how to fix it?

thanks
sean

yea i cleaned the jets out several times, still running into the same thing. i have a warranty on the quad, but they tell me carb problems arent covered and i cant afford to pay them 65$ and hour to fix it.

 

[eric]

do you thinks it's running rich or lean?

 

[joecamel]

are the vent hoses on the carb cleaned? what does your plug look like, maybe change it. just guesing

hey purple66sbc
if u need any carb parts i might b able to help u since i got that old on layin around....email me or let me know

Well when I had the carb apart I did notice that the slide(the black cylinder piece, I think that’s called a slide right?) defiantly had some marks on it, nothing major though, you think even a minor scratch would cause this much trouble?
I defiantly might take you up on some carb parts, does anyone have an extra slide laying around?
This week I was also planning on totally draining my tank, and putting all new fuel in thinking that a little water might have got into the tank somehow.

Thanks again
sean
