Exclamation 400ex problems

Hi I have a 00 400ex that only runs while on choke & at high rpm's . It will ride around perfect at higher rpm's but when allowed to drop a little it begins to backfire then shuts off when allowed to drop lower on the rpms. Also I go threw plugs like crazy. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

You have a plugged up pilot jet. Take the carb apart and give it a good cleaning. Make sure you REALLY clean the pilot and main jet.

If the plug is fuel fowled it can if you run it on the choke a lot. If it's oil fowled, then no.
