I have 2000 warrior that has steadily lost power. I had the compression checked, adjusted the valves, new plug and dropped a tooth on the front. It has a DG pipe(I know its crap but its better than stock and cheap) clean twin air filter, put the breather filters in the box and shorter tires in the back(Titan fast trackers). Shouldnt this thing pull the front up pretty easy with a 120lb rider.
I pulled the top end to go ahead and put a fresh one in and the cylinder looks pretty good.

So my questions are what am I missing and will going .040 give a noticeable power gain in the bottom end?

 

Warriors are horrible at pullin wheelies especially since you only weigh 120! The trick to get a Warrior to wheelie is to litterally throw your weight onto the back of the seat while giving it gas, heavier guys can do this much easier. Is this the only reason you think your loosing power?

 

The 120lb'er is my son, it's actually his quad. I guess I am just used to my lt250r but i would swear this thing has lost power or I'm gettin' fat.
Will going the .040 over give me a noticable power gain? and is there a better way to de-gum these carbs since carb cleaner doesnt work very well?
