The engine is to lean, you need more gas. Raise the needle if you do anything. What mods have you done? Airbox, exhaust, ect

If you ride at or near full throttle.. its normal.. by lowering the clip on the needle you would richen things some but most need richer jets to run their best..

No. Pull the spark plug and tell me what it looks like brown, grey, white, frosty , or dull. If you can. Send a pic to 903twofour5sixfour8nine or e-mail it to mitchell@easttexasatv.com
