I've a friend with a 1999 300 FourTrax.
Has run great since new. Completely stock. No maintenance other than sparkplug and oil
Over the last few months it has developed this problem. Cold and choked it runs normally. After warmup, it lacks power and backfires.
Sounds to me its running lean, fuel is blocked somewhere?
He's completely hopeless at troubleshooting, and is asking for help.
Harder to sort out when its not your bike.
He has no FSM, which I've suggested he get. But the parts layout I can get from bikebandit.
Where to start?
Addendum: fuel flow is ok into the float chamber. Air Cleaner is good.
