2002 Honda 250ex loss of power while climbing hills
Hey everyone, noob here to both the forum and atv ownership. I've had toys all my life but this is my first ATV.
I am having a bizarre problem of losing power when going uphill on occasion. It seems as though the engine is gasping for fuel. If it shuts off going uphill, I have a hard time restarting it. It 'putters' and will shut itself off again, like there is a lack of fuel. After numerous attempts, I am able to get her going again and she seems to run fine.
Any ideas as to what would cause this to happen just going uphill? It's happened twice...1st time was just going up a hill (engine cut half way up) and the 2nd time was going up a steep incline and getting a little bit of air. As soon as I landed back on the ground, engine cut out.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this problem.

Ok, I'll check those things out. After looking at the parts diagram, the carb seems to be missing the baffle...aka holder, jet. I guess it's a disk shaped piece of plastic that keeps gas out of the carb when climbing hills?? If that's the case, it could be why I get bogged down sometimes on an incline. Ordered the part and all of the seals (and a new fuel filter for good measure) and we'll see how it goes!
