My 04 Wolverine with about 10-15 hours on it decided to play games with me. I was riding for about 10 minutes, and after I went over a small jump, when I got back on the gas, the machine bogged badly. At low RPMs, things are fine, right when you give it gas though, there is no response other than bad bogging. I tried holding the throttle open to blow out the system, but it just sputters badly. I can rev on idle, and slow RPMs are fine, but nothing at the top of the RPM range just bog bog bog.

Any ideas? Carb clogged, jetting off, spark plug, vavles? What the F--- is causing this? I'm supossed to ride tomorrow, we drove 3 hours and now it looks like I have to head home to fix this BS.

Anyone with help I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

 

Sounds like time for a valve adjustment

 

did you check some of the simple things, not to insult your intelligence whatsoever, like the choke left on, emergency brake on, almost out of gas, air filter clogged. I only say this because I can see myself overlooking something simple like this.

 

It could be the jump shook up some dirt into your carb. Drop the carb bowl, big chunks of caca in there is a likely culprit.

 

Do I need to remove the entire carb to drop the bowl?

 

If you loosen the intake clamp and the airbox clamp, you can rotate the carb enough (bottom towards the left side) to get the 4 screws out of the bowl.
