260cc Liquid Cooled Daymak. When throttle is applied, quad boggs out and dies. Idles fine. What could be causing this? HELP!!

 

On the surface this sounds like a vacuum leak such as a vacuum line that was pulled loose or a bad gasket between the carb and intake.

Also could be from a dirty carb (plugged jet) or a misadjusted carb.

On rare occasions the valves being outta adjustment could cause this but it is also typically accompanied by the machine being hard to start.

 

i concur. plugged/clogged main jet or vacuum leak at intake boot on flange.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not a mechanic but am pretty good with wrenches. How do I fix it? Do I take carb apart? Is there a trick? Some guidance would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!
