Default newb!! have a few questions

first time posting on here. hope to find some good answers

ive got a 99 wolverine 350 and it runs suprisingly well
pulls the front end up with no problem but it seems it cuts out and almost stalls when i come down from one or even going through the woods. wether its a sharp turn or goin over some logs it wants to keep fallin on its face for a second then runs fine shortly after. its becoming a problem with the people i ride with cause there coming pretty close to rear ending me for stopping on such short notices..

im working on building this wheeler to the best of my abilityies so im not affraid to dump some money into at the moment

i just ordered a "performance carb" off of ebay im still waiting for it in the mail but i figured that might be the problem but im not sure yet. any input will be appreciated

ive built a few quads up until this one but ive never had this particular problem

That's exactly whats happening to my 4-wheeler. I go around sharp bends and it seem like it wants to cut out or sputter, then it catches on again after about 5 seconds. Sorry no info, but I just ride it as it goes.

Could be junk in your float bowl, could be cable routing too.

i had cable issues where it would rev up turning left but its cause the cable would slide out of the sheeth or whatever but im pretty sure i fixed that by re routing it. it possible though. this new carb comes with a new cable too so hopefully that fixes it all up

I don't think its junk, cause when I took apart my carb after sitting outside for 8 years without starting it, it was clean as a whistle. I'm thinking level.

After sitting 8 years "junk" would have been in the tank, now it will have migrated to the float bowl.
