03 Sportsman 700 Carb - acceleration Probs
I have a 700 Sportsman Carb Version 2003. Lately I am having problems accelerating, it is really getting to the point where it isn't getting around at all. Its like it is flooding out, Sometime I can pull the choke half way out and get enough power to get back to the house. The air filter and crankcase filter seem fine, I took the fuel line loose at the filter and gas seems to be flowing fine, so I am at a loss. I pulled One spark plug and it looked ok, I have yet to pull the other one since it is harder to get to. Has anyone got an ideas or past experiences with this model to draw from? I would appreciate it. The atv is low hours, only 43. I bought it used about a month ago and it has run fine until a week ago.

Nope, I havent got that far, not sure If I want to take that on. I may take it back to the dealer I got it used from since it is only been about 30 days. Any tips in case I decide to take this on? I have worked on cars, some motorcycles and small engines, but it has been a while.

If you done some mecanical work pulling the carb won't be that bad. I can have mine off in less than 10 mins. The first thing I suggest is getting a service manual. If you do decied to tackle the job fill free to contact me I had mine off many times playing with the jetting for all my mods.

Noticed tonight that 2 of the bolts that hold the carb are missing. I am betting this has been into before. One of the spark plug wire came apart, this probably wasnt helping. Looks like I may be taking it to the shop tomorrow, at least let them look at it since I am just around the end of my "grace" period.
