ive had 10 different people give me 10 different answers on whether you can or can not clip the carb spring on an 05 rancher for quicker throttle response. one dude mentioned something about you couldnt b/c it wasnt vacumm operated or something like that. just curious.

 

you cannot, don't do it. Only on the 03-05 Rincon. I know people with both Ranchers and Rinnys and they have them cut on the Rinny and stock on the Rancher.

 

I did on my brand new rancher, I took 6 coils off and can tell a big difference compared to the lag it had. BTW I have had no problems.

 

there you go, 2 more people, 2 more different answers. let the confusion continue. I'm no expert, maybe I am wrong.

 

Yes, you can do it. I have personally seen 2 Ranchers that had it done. Both of them were amazed at the difference in throttle response. Its very simple to do. Just remove the top plate from your carb. 4 screws. Cut the spring, if your scared only cut 6-8 coils. Replace the longer part of the spring along with the top of the carb and test. But you might want to hang on, because your probably going to do a wheelie. If you buy a dynojet kit, it comes with a softer spring. Same thing. This is a free mod that works. If you don't like it a new spring only costs about 8 bucks. Also if this wasn't a vacuum carb it wouldn't have a spring. Listen to the people who have done it. You will like it.

 

Can it be done on others? IE: TRX200

 

Honestly I don't know. I have seen it done on the Ranchers 350, and 400, Foremans and of course the Rincon. Try it and let us know. A new spring is cheap if it doesn't work.

 

I have extra springs, I'll cut one up soon and post the results!

 

Great, you got me curious if it will work.

 

It works great on my wifes Rancher AT.
