Default Raptor falling on its nose in 3rd gear...WOT

I hate asking you experts a jetting question, but this particular Raptor I can't seem to get right. 03 raptor Alien slip on. Pro-flow foam filter no lid. 160-165 mikunis 25 pilots 2 1/2 turns out. When dragging against the 02 with FMF and 150-155 jets and stock pilots. The 02 just pulls from the 03. In third gear the 03 just falls on its ***. And when riding a tall wheelie in first gear the quad seems to run out of gas and falls back down. Any suggestions. Where about to do a plug check we just set this up this weekend.

Try adjusting the floats do a search on Floats cause sixsixt will walk you through it. 160/165 sounds alittle to much try a 155/160 3rd clip on the needle and 2 1/2 turns out like you are.

I would think your close enough on your jetting that it should run better than that althou I think the alien can use a little bigger mains 165/170 if your between MSL and 1500' or so. But you might have gotten some crud in the carb when you jetted it.
The wheelie problem is probably the float level is to high, it may also help with the other problem.

I just noticed it's a slip on maybe 155/160 like alien said.

Thanks, I'm at 1300' elev. I took them back apart and cleaned them last night and it didn't help. I will try the smaller jets and clip postion and mess with the floats.

Thanks again.
