OK almighty Raptor guru's, I have a problem with my 02 and it's driving me nuts!

Went to Glamis a few weeks ago, and it ran fine. Did some maint. to it, and now it runs like crap! I lashed valves (intakes were a little tight), greased rear linkage, and hard wired in my kill switch (used switch last year temporary splice into white/red wire above shifter...Magneto to CDI per manual). Now it refuses to take any throttle above 1/4 (sounds like rev limiter). I had done away with clutch switch and parking brake over a year ago. Reverse switch is bypassed (grounded out).

I have rechecked valve clearance too many time to remember (thinking I had adjusted on wrong stroke the first time, but it was spot on.) I have removed kill switch from mix. I have checked grounds. I cleaned carbs (hoping it was a clogged jet). I have undone almost everything (haven't reinstalled dirt into linkage yet), trying to figure out where I went wrong.

I am at a total loss, and I need your help. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I don't wanna pay the dealership big $ to tell me it was somethin stupid. Thanks, Whipped Haz

 

Check the 2 electrical connections under the shift lever.

 

The plug under the shifter is fine, and the one wire is now grounded out per instructions from other threads. (bypassing reverse rev limiter) Thanks for the input 14. Haz

 

The only thing I can offer is to check the wires that used to go to the P-brake. Maybe something has happened to them and they are grounding or touching each other. You can have alot of wear from rubbing wires in a year.
