hi guys, new here!!. i have been reading through some other post that may come close to my problem. heres whats going on.
my bike is a 06 foreman 500, i put 27's on it and hmf pipe, [email protected] filter, and bought a dyno jet kit. i have honda install the kit cause i dont know my way around a carb at all.(i'm 31 years young) lol. well i went out in the mud, deep mud and as soon as i get deep, the bike starts spitting and sputtering, like its missing or loading up. i cant pin down whats its doing. when this is happening and i let off the throttle, it idles fine, as soon as i go to throttle up she starts missing or sputtering. when i get out of the hole, i shift it to nuteral throttle it up and down, its fine. it seems like when the bike is under a load(4*4 or 2 wheel drive) it does this. when i'm trail riding i have no real problem other than i no longer have any top end. i have a very hard time getting past 45mph. it feels very very flat up top.i also noticed after the kit was installed the choke didnt work anymore. i went back to honda and he said it sound like it running to rich and showed me how to adjust it leaner. he had it set at 4 turns out, so i set it at 2 1/2 and put in a new spark plug.
went out this past weekend and its doing the samething, but one of my buddie said that when its started to spit and sputter and was not blowing black smoke out, as if it was running rich, so maybe its getting to lean. so took the bowl off the carb to see what they did and they did put in a 170 jet. but the needle is the stock one. it doesnt appear they installed anything other than a 170 jet. could this be the problem??? sorry so long but i hate when my bike is running like ****.
please help me out
