i dont think he said that he has a fuel delivery issue. What he said he has low power. No get up and go. Ponies/RPM's/Power.


but then. I can be wrong cause i dont understand pig latin.......


Let us know what you find out.

I wouldnt rule out the clutching and worth a check on a older ride also. Dirty sticky clutch, belt could have too much deflection and start out and stay in too high ratios. May only seem to lack power

Gas tank vent line may be blocked or pinched. Try running the ATV with the gas cap off.if it runs good than the tank is not venting properly.

i got the carb back on and same prob. I removed the foam from inside air filter and it ran better. The foam filter was clean and the regular filter is new. is the pre foam filter needed or will it matter if it is not there?
