ok let me give you my bike set up....
i have an 06 foreman 500 S
i'm running the DJ 170 needle on the 3rd clip (i think)
K & N airfilter
stock exhaust with spark arrestor removed and a tip added
i'm not running a air box snorkle but i do have my 2 carb lines vented because i thought that would help this situation.
ok heres my situation.....i've been riding my bike lately and it runs great when i'm just riding around....once i get into a hole with water in it (maybe up to your knees) i'll be running fine and then the bike just starts spitting and stalling and sometimes shuts off......now if you have ever sunk your bike and had to drain the airbox and run it for a while until you can actually get a full throttle response thats what its like.....i'm not sure if i'm actually flooding the bike out because i have the 170 without a snorkle or if something else is happening. I've sprayed some silicon spray on as much electrical stuff as i can find but i've still got the problem.....i got really fed up with it today so i figured i would ask everyone to help me out
should i drop down on the main jet or should i play with the a/f screw.....i don't really get into enough water to put the full snorkle on it. if you turn the screw out is that more air or more fuel?
i just need help cause this is really pissing me off now
