Default 1988 300 Bayou

Hello,

I Have an 88 300 2x4 Bayou. When I got this machine it sat for about 4 years.I have cleaned the carb thoroughly. It starts great and idles. When I punch the throttle it will bog. Is there only one adjustment on these carbs? Help please.....

Paul

Make sure airbox is sealed and no extra holes gave been added. Check intake boot to be sure no cracks or leaks. Might even try spraying some wd40 while it is running around the intake boot and see if engine changes speed. Otherwise it may be a clogged passage in the carb, most carb cleaning jobs dont get all the tiny holes cleaned out. Tiny wires are needed to open them.

Thank you! I will try all these things. Paul

How do you clean the 4 small holes at the bottom of the carb? Hard to get at.

Thanks Paul
