I brought my foreman 500 06 model to the dealer to get jetted.

Everything sound good and it ran well my main jet was 170.

I went riding in the mud and it seemed, if and when i would get stuck in the mud and i would run at high RPMs WOT, after i let off the gas, it would come an idle and then kill. Also some times it would almost sound like it was back firing or miss firing. I went down to 160 main jet and now it sound good and runs good. The spark plug has that brown color where it was orignally white. It was all black at 170main jet. I don't understand, from what i discribed did i jet it correctly now? and why does some people have 170 main jet, are all engines different in there own way. I live south Louisiana, so you know i live below sea level. help somebody.

I looked at this site and my spark plug looks like the middle one !!
