This might be a stupid question, But your air cleaner is clean right? Not enough air could also bog it. How old is your plug? But I'm still leaning on a mixture problem.

Air filter is new and clean, installed a new plug 2 months ago. This has been a problem since I bought it, I just figured it was a Rubicon thing since others on the forum have reported it.

I want to keep my front wheel's on the ground that's why i bought a utility 4wd quad , i understand that most quad owner's like the sport quad's for drag racing and riding wheelies jumping the whop de do's ; but i'm a bilateral amputee ! I lost both leg's below the knee's when i was 21yrs old , back in 02 - 02 - 1975 trying to help a freind push his car out of the road after he ran out of gas. A car came up behind us at a high rate of speed and catch me between the bumber's , cut them both off on impact almost killed me ! I spent 1 month in hospital and 13 month's in a body cast from my knee's to my chest , another month after cast was removed to be able to just sit up in bed . Then 2 yrs before doctor would let me drive a car again , wheel chair bound still , the first time i rode a ATV 4 wheeler ; man that was the best time i ever had ! I finally saved up enough money to buy my first atv , a 86' Honda TRX 350 Foreman full time 4wd since then i can to places i couldn't go when i had legs ; man i really love these quad's ! I guess what i'm trying to say, is be carefull out there i would hate to hear that anyone on these forum's crippled or killed on their quad's , have a good time riding but becarefull and watch out for this 53 year old slow poke man i may just coming around the next curve ! Have a good one to all................williebee

Its not something that will blow you away. It just adds throttle response. It will get you out of the hole faster. Thats all. My Rincon had ITP wheels and ITP 589 tires when I got it. These are very heavy wheels. It would not come close to getting the front wheels off the ground. I cut the spring and it would lift the tires about 6 inches. Not amazing, but impressive. I then went back to stock sizes and wheels and it would hit the rack.
This doesn't add horsepower just quicker throttle response. It doesn't hurt anything and the best part is its FREE.

What do you mean you "had it done"? This is as easy as putting gas in the tank. Maybe you just think you had it done. No one is exagerating. Maybe you didn't take off enough. If you cut off 10 to 11 coils, you will know that you did something.
