I changed the oil, oil filter, added K&N air filter, a NGK Iridium spark plug and 93 octane fuel. When you give it full throttle, it boggs down. I cant figure out why, its never acted like before.

Please advise
Thanks

 

is the airbox lid back on?

was talking about same thing yesterday to a friend, said sometimes if the airbox is not closed back up properly it can do that.

 

yes, the box is back together correctly. do you think maybe its the 93 octane? or maybe its running lean because of the increase in air and i havent jetted the motor?

 

Also, I have had to do some adjusting to the throttle adjustment on the throttle cable on the handlebars. I know it was atleast stalling out, can't remember if it was bogging at higher RPM's as well.

 

how do you adjust the cable?

 

about 6" from the throttle, there is a rubber boot around the adjustment (mine didn't have the boot around it) either turn it clockwise or counter clockwise. I have seen mention of it many times, could probably search a bit more, if you can't fine tune it by just manually adjusting it.

 

great! do you know how many ft lbs you are supposed to torque the spark plug?

 

i can tell you tonight when i get home and pull open the book, but again, mine is a polaris sportsman 500 2002, so that may be different

 

maybe so, i can try to do an online search as well

 

carb prolly needs adjusted, take out the carb, remove the slide and move the e- clip down one notch and also check ur fuel screw on the bottom of the carb, may have to drill out brass plug, make sure it's 2.5 turns out
