edgehanger Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Could be possibly leaning out due to all the oil hence the bog. Drain the gas. mix 32 to 1 should scream through all 6 gears, no bog, no sputter, no popping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post the results & some pics of the plugs. Did 32:1 Yamalube R... Currently 2 gallons in my tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnold Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Took the quad out for a quick ride, rode 1-5 gears pretty hard. top gears ran great, noticed the sound the bike was making when accelerating was a bit strange (before powerband). Especially in the low gears, throttle response in those low gears isn't too great either, its hard to get the quad to move like I want it to in 1st, kinda like it has no power until the powerband kicks in. Got back home shut it off and plug electrode is black and the rim & threading were wet with black oil. Wiped it off and put it back in. Does this mean I am running rich? E- Will post pics of plug once I can get it to my email Edited August 4, 2017 by Rawnold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 the best way to tell is to get the bike warm. put fresh plugs in to a 6th gear pull, and pull in the clutch and kill it. then pull the plugs and do a chop. looks rich to me.

Those were fresh plugs, but yeah I'm thinking it's rich too, my buddy thinks so also. He tells me I should drop down to a 290 main. I'm at 310 rn. As for the strange sound I googled it and I ran into needle clip position, should I mess with that before rejetting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 where is it sluggish? if it is sluggish in the mid range, then i would move the needle. but either way you prolly need to change the jet as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
