kodiak hesitation
I'm asking for help. I have always had a slight hesitation in my 2004 450 kodiak. this happens when you first give it gas there is like a dead spot then it takes off. or it wants to cut out on you when for give it gas or take off and when it is in 4wd. well yesterday a went on a ride where I had to cross a creek a few times now this creek is not super deep and I crossed it some last year with no problem, but yesterday it would want to stall out even if there was a small almount of water in the road. if I went in it, it wanted to stall out. I would have to keep the throttle wide open when i crossed the creek or hit a water spot in the road. this is a stock bike all but the 26 inch mud lites and ITP wheels. it is starting to do this more now and I would like to know if anyone has any idea what is going on. thanks.

First do the dummy checks.......
1. Does it have air/ air filter clean and properly in place.
2. Gas, does it have water in the gas?
3. Does it smoke ?
4. Does it have good spark...............................
Pull your plug and tell us what color it is. That way we can tell if your lean or rich. I would assume your too rich. I need more info though.

The fuel mixture screw is located on the bottom side of carb in front of float bowl, you cant see it ,it is inside a round piece of casting that comes down from carb, ,there is a special tool to get in there, but if you loosen carb and rotate it aliittle you can get a flatblade screw driver in to adjust it.
