Can you adjust a 01 Sportsman 500 carb? PIC
Took the wheeler out in the hills today for the first time this summer and it wouldnt run more than 1/4 throttle without trying to die on me,even backfired once seemed worse on up hill inclines.I pulled the plug and it looks like a lean condition to me(please tell me if Im wrong).Is there any way to adjust the lean/rich on these carbs?PO told me he rebuilt the carb a few months ago and I doubt he had a clue what he was doing.Any advice appreciated!Thanx

I took the carb apart,cleaned everything and turned the little air screw out to 2.5 turns(got that setting of another thread) i think it was at about 2 turns when I checked it,it was far enough in the point of the screw was sticking up through the inside of the carb a bit,new spark plug (gaped at .028) and put everything back together.It seems to run better but it was running good before today so who knows!Also Im wondering if Im missing a part,on the opposite side this little tube is covered with a rubber plug,should this side have one also?
