Also, try turning on the headlights and see if that helps it run better at higher rpms. If so, you have a bad regulator.



After one place sent me the wrong chain, the best price I could find was these guys at $63 shipped Parts Department | Honda East Toledo | Maumee Ohio
Would it be the lt-4wd or lt-f4wdxs?
Theres about a 10 dollar difference but the diagram shows exactly the same thing

Tanner the issue that you are having with your 200. You might want to look at changing the needle that is attached to the slide diaphragm. I think it is the jet needle..? But I had a similar problem where the needle had been worn a little and was catching and not letting the jet come open. The fuel pump could cause an issue but i would say its related to something with the slide diaphragm.

I didnt notice anything wrong with the needle, will an unnoticable imperfection cause that problem?

The lt-4wd is the 250 4x4.
The lt-f4wdx is the 300 4x4 up to 1998.
The lt-f300x is the 300 4x4 from 1999 on.

Needles can get worn, but it's noticeable.

It would cause it to run a little rich.

Yup it's called the jet-needle and the hole it slides in is called the needle-jet. I usually just call it a needle though
