Default 2000 Scrammy 500 4x4 burnin through LOTS 'O' gas

totally stock but sucking gas like a motha. I'm running pretty rich...anything I can do to lean it out? Not sure if there are any adjustments before rejetting it. I haven't pulled the carb so I don't know if you can adjust the needle postition or anything so I thought I would ask if anyone tweaked there's a little bit with a similar problem. If I rejet what could I put in with a stock setup?

It's getting about 40-45 miles per tank maybe...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

as always, thanks for any help

my scrammy gets aroung 40 to. i will go out on a 35-45 mile trail ride, about 3 to 4 hours and i will be about out of gas and can see the bottom of my tank. is your quad running right, or does it just have bad mpg?

Actually it runs really good...I think it's just bad MPG. There's got to be some adjustment to lean it a little
