Either you are getting to much air, or not enough. Take out your spark plug and tell me what it looks like

when I did mine, the vent line for the car was clamped on to tight and the carb was not getting air. Fixed that problem and it ran 100%. you may need to block off the end of the snorkel half way to restrict some air flow, I had to. Mine was getting to much air. Look at the little stock snorkel you pulled out. Drill a hole that big in a cap that will fit in the end of your snorkel. That is what I did and it ran perfect.

How do I get it more air I'm thinking that is the problem. Will I have to re-run the pipes?

Default Its not worth it!!

There needs to be a single PVC not dual. And it needs a reducer because on a trx250 the engine can only take so much air in and it might be sputtering and will not run correct. Check your air filter or put a size reducer on the top of PVC and try to avoid angles very helpful. But its not worth it gave me so many headaches but I finally figured it out.

I know this thread is old as the hills but around how much pipe did you use for this and would ABS work?

where exactly are all of the breather pipes located like front/middle/back
