Default 84 atc110 wont throttle up

i have a 84 atc 110 that has been rebuilt. it will start great and idle great but when you try to rev it up it just falls flat on its face. it has no vacuum leaks the timing is perfect and the valves is ajusted perfect. i replaced the carb with a new one and ajusted it every way possible. i even tried new plugs all different brand and checked the kill switch for shorts. please help this is driving me nuts

Sounds like a piece of dirt in the main jet.. also, make sure you have a good supply of gas going to the carburetor.

Sounds like your main jet is too small. The idle jet takes care of the idle circuit, the main is what feeds the engine from off idle. When the slide needle lifts and the fuel comes up through the main and into the air flow of the carb, if the jet is too small then you will have a lean condition that will cause it to bog down and die. Somtimes it will pop or backfire when this happens. If closing the choke helps a little then you need to increase the main jet size.

The pilot or slow jet delivers fuel from idle till approx.1/4 throttle, needle jet 1/4 till approx. 5/8 to 3/4 then the main takes over to wide open. Running better on choke is an indicator that the pilot or slow jet is clogged. Is it a new carb. or new to you? Do you have free flowing fuel to the carb.? The screen in the petcock or the petcock itself could be clogged.

i have adjusted the mixture screw to factory specks and every which way i was told maybe i need a bigger main jet? because when i close the choke when i ride it it seems to almost throttle up right and doesnt hesitate. the carb is clean no dirt in it and has good flow to it

my main jet size says 82 and i changed it to a 88 and it seems to have fixed it. it still has some slight hesitation but i am going to get some more different size jets and find the right one.
