runs up to 25 mph like it is under a load. Give it to much gas and it back fires through the carb. this atv is only used on the farm, does a lot of pulling jobs
thanks

Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

your quad has two clutches on it. its in the black housing right by your left foot. primary (drive) clutch in connected to the motor and the secondary (driven) clutch is connected to the gear box.

I am having the same sort of problem with my500 magnum. It starts, idles, and runs slow great but when I try to go faster it bogs down and backfires.

IF backfiring through carb and no power,check cam for exhaust lobe damage or wear.OR could just need carb work?
