well i can start up my recon and it runs.
but when i give it gas it bogs down and dies?
i cleaned the filter, and carb?

 

Sounds like its getting too much air, mine does the same thing if I start it with the air box lid off.

 

no, its with the everything on
filter, lid etc
it use to only do it when i hit water, but now it did it on grass?
last time when i hit water, i let it sit for a week thenit started up and ran?

 

Sounds like your machine is water shy. I'd let the bike dry out and apply dielectric grease (from an auto parts store) to all electrical connections, expecially the coil connections and on top of the spark plug.

I'd also take the carb off and clean it or have it properly cleaned. It doesnt take very much dirt to fool up a carb, one tiny peck.

 

check the jet in your carb it might have fallen out or you have dirt in it

 

ok i started it up this morning and it ran fine?
so i should put some grease crap on it?
it did it the last time when i did a wheelie? last time as in the 1st post?

also it didnt use to be like this?
i could go through huge mudholes and nothing would happen, just started recently

 

My guess would be that you still have some crud in the carb. Make sure you remove all the jets and blow them and all the passages out with B12 Chemtool or a similar, good carb cleaner, followed by compressed air.

 

Is it possible you have crud in the tank as well? I'd also replace the fuel filter. SOme tank designs also have a filter inside teh tank attached to the petcock. There may be crud that has plugged that too. Hoses get old and will collapse too.

Last, I'd check your gas cap vent hose to see if it will pass air. They can get blocked with crud, spiders etc. It causes you to have vapor lock... I am betting it is either crud in a circuit in the carb, or a plugged fuel filter though. Simple spray cleaner will not do the job. You have to pull the jets and clean them. If you have access to a shop that has an ultrasonic cleaner, that is the best way to clean them.

 

BUT IT DOES it on and off?
its nothing that happens all the time

 

If you have a grain of sand in the carb, sometimes it gets sucked into the jet, bike runs shitty, dirt falls out bike is fine. Clean the carburator.

Same for electrical, get dielectric grease and coat every connection (I use an old toothbrush) especially the wires going to the coil, and on top of the spark plug under the plug boot. If you get water in there the bike will run crappy, then be fine if it dries out.
