Default 2000 trail boss 325 cutting out at flag throttle

I have a 2000 Polaris trail boss 325, idles good and runs good until a go to push in the throttle half way, it runs great until a go to give it more than half throttle, it has a new spark plug, good gas, and I got a rebuilt kit for the carburetor, and had my buddy that works on atv’s a lot install the rebuild kit for me, he said he did everything right. I bought the atv from my dad and he bought the carb rebuild kit cuz he thought that’s what the problem was but after putting installing the kit it still does it. I also swapped out the throttle box up on the handle bar, thinking it might have been something simple like that. Any help would be great. Me and my buddy and brother are scratching our heads over this. I’m not a mechanic by any means but I know enough to get me by. PLEASE GIVE ME ANY OF YOUR THOUGHTS FROM SIMILAR EXPERIENCES THAT U MIGHT HAVE HAD LIKE THIS. THANK U IN ADVANCE

Sounds like a main jet issue. Could be something as simple as fine dirt particles clogging it. A lot of times, people have cleaned a carb by spraying cleaner on the parts and that was it. A small wire pushed through can clear out what the spray alone isn't.


One of the other members on here had a great suggestion as to what to use to clean the jet. Senior moment now keeps me from remembering what it was. I'm sure they see this thread and they'll post what it was.


Or I'll remember at 2:30am.

They make jet cleaning tools with a set of different sized wires you stick through the hole to clean it. The wires have a texture almost like a file to scrape gunk out. Just make sure to use the right size and you're good to go. Any auto parts store should have them.
