okay I'll try to explain this: My quad had been sitting around for 4 weeks waiting on my new Laeger swingarm to arrive and it finnaly did. So I install it and took the quad to the local track (before this weekend everything ran fine), I go for a spin and let things warm up and then it was time, time to roost, I'm on the the throttle hard and running strong then I come up to my first corner and let off the gas and them 1/2 way through the corner I go to give it gas again and nothing, so I let off the throttle a bit and the motor comes back to life and I can go again. I can repeat this at anytime!
Come hard into the corner, let off, give it the gas and nothing!
Please help guy/gals! I don't know where to start, but I think its fuel related, but.......

I don't know how the oil compares, but I'm thinking of changing the spark plug and if that doesn't work I guess I'll pull the carb and clean it. The fuel filter is brand new (added it the same day and then removed it the same day because I thought it may be too fine of mesh, but to no avail). I have'nt even looked at the choke. How would I test that?

Check your float level. When you get on the brakes to go into the corner it could be flowing to much fuel and causing it to almost die. Does it do it over jumps and whoops?

roostin, I haven't took any jumps or whoops yet because I so pissed off and hungover I only spent about an hour at the track and left. The float level sounds like some where to start though. I'll get my service manual out and check the specsIf it does the same thing in the whoops and jumps are you leaning towards the float?
