I have ha my 4 wheeler for about 2 years. I have never had any problems with it. A few days ago I went riding with some friends and i came home and parked the 4 wheelr like always do. The today when went to start it and it startedright up. Then onc I let I warm up I rode off and it was spiting and sputering. I thought it was thePlug so I go anewplug and put it in. It seeme to run bette for a few minutes then it ran lie crap again. So I put in alittle dry gas and that didnt help any. So what do yu guys think it is?

maybe water in your gas tank that might be causing? From a batch of gas where you got it. You might want to drain the gas and put a new gas in it. See if that help. Float might be stuck?.....
Check all the plugs and see they are connect.

Check your air filter! If it is clogged up with dirt your bike will "choke" itself out. I try to clean out my air filter about once a week. Depending on what kind of conditions I am riding in.

Yeah thanx for the input guys. Yeah I will have to check th float I am hopinh it is that because it is something I know how to fix. What I really dont want is it to be a burned up valve. Talk about some coin.

Today I took out my 4 wheeler and it ran OK. But Stllt wasnt 100%. I adjusted the air in take screw to the carb and I think that helped alittle. But now I am woundering if I adjsted the valves if it would do anything. What do you guys think?

It wouldn't hurt to check it out..... Never know the valves might be tight.
