Default Wolverine 450 loses power after bumps....Help please!

I was riding over sand washboads fast but not lifting tires off the sand, it would go good for awhile and all the sudden it would putt out if i gave it any gas....? Anything helps. Thanks!

Default I had the same problem

Pull the carb apart and clean it there is probalbly dirt in it. Atleast thats what happened to mine at about 100 miles or so. Make sure the coupling between the carb and intake box is on correctly also what type of air filter are you using and have you cleaned it?

Default Thanks

Im going to do all that stuff today! Hopefully it works. But yeah it is just the stock air filter but it probably needs cleaned from last ride.
