Default engine dieing

went trail ridingt the last 2 days,after about an hour or so,motor would seem to die down to an idle.after a couple dies,i gave it a little choke,it would run alot better,today it did it once,i put choke on half way ran good after that,took choke off ran good,we put a new fuel pump on this morning,like i said only did it once,day before about 5 times,sounds like a gas problem? any ideas,anyone

If you have to use choke to make it start to run good then sounds like you may have some trash in the carb,fuel system or jets partially stopped up.

Just drain the carb bowl.May just be some trapped trash or water floating around.Wouldn't hurt to get a sample of gas from the tank in a clear container. Any water would settle at the bottom.
