I can start the bike and it will idle fine when it is choked. When I try to take it out of choke it floods out and dies. Any ideas? If I try to ride it and slowly take the choke it loses power and begins to die. Then it runs real rough and anytime I try to push the throttle at all it dies.

Odd, are you sure it's flooding when you take the choke OFF? Sounds more like it's not getting enough fuel to me...but then again I'm not very experienced. I'm sure if you gave more info you'd get more responses and the info you get will be more accurate!!

It sounds like it is starving for air. Is you air filter clean?

I took the filter out and sprayed it out real good. Do you know if there is a air adjustment screw on the carb

There is but it won't affect it enough to cure your problem.

Pull the carb and clean it. I bet the pilot jet is plugged or debris floating around in the float bowl. Clean everything thoroughly, all jets, passages, etc. Thoroughly! Blow every hole, jets, everything out with compressed air when done cleaning. Check etc adjustment after your done.

These small atv's are real sensitive to stale gas. Try draining the gas out of the tank and carb and put some fresh gas in and see if that helps. Also if the plug is wet, perlace it.
