Hello all, I have a 2000 Prairie 300 4x4 that I've recently purchased.

The problem I'm having is under very light throttle it acts like it is hesitating/bogging down. Then if you wait a few seconds and push the throttle in some more it will instantly rev up and go...then it runs great as long as you keep in the throttle some.

It idles great too, it's just a few seconds when you lightly push the throttle that it acts like it bogs down.

Things I have recently done: Put in new spark plug, changed all oil/fluids, I just tore apart the carb and gave it a good cleaning. Nothing has helped so far.

Is this a carb setting issue or belt problem???

 

Check the pilot jet, its the smaller of the two. Take a small (very small) wire and run through it. It doesn't take much trash in there to interfere with this jets fuel delivery.
