Default help!! problem with 300 ex

My wife went on a ride yesterday. Recently put on WB pipe and jet kit. It was running great. While on the ride she got a sudden loss of power. No clank when it happened. Engine starts and runs good just no power at all. Minor backfire on deceleration but I know the jetting is good not lean on the pilot. She rode it back about 8 miles same thing no power but it did not get better or worse. Any ideas from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.

It could be the spark plug, you have to turn off the gas on quads for it to be healthy for the carbs, and dont leave the choke on too long after its warmed up, or hold the gas starting it. hope this helps.

I would take the carb apart. Does it run past 1/2 throttle? Sounds like a piece of dirt in the main jet.
