Thanks, If time allows I will try these things this afternoon and be back on here tonight to update.

 

Ok, so I 1st blocked off 1/2 the air and it just acted like it was strugling for air, while holding the rpms steady I covered it 1/2 up and it would bog down alittle until I uncovered it.... After that I went ahead and pulled the carb again, I found some .025 thick brass washers and installed one, thought it was better on start up, still would not hold its idle but seemed to have full rpms. Took it outside and hit it about half throtle and took off great and 15mph fell on its face spitting and sputtering..... Tried it again and same results but could hardly keep it running at low rpms... it died because I let the idle get to low and would not restart.... wait a couple hours and it starts back up easy like nothing is wrong..... So, with all that being said, I dont think anything has changed.

Also when its starts spitting and sputering under a load the exhaust goes from a grey color to black puffs but only when its spitting and sputering..

Thanks again for all the help

 

I want to Thank You Papa HS for all your help and advice,
My quad is up and running very well now,
by pin pointing and issue with the needle and main after all I have tried including many shims on the needle I decided to clean and reinstall the old needle and main to see if it would help and it started and ran great. The needle in the rebuild kit was brass and the original needle was stainless and thats the only difference.
