Hey guys im having some issues with my sportsman. It will start up but then it wont idle right. it seems to shoot rpms up and if you blip the throttle the rpms hang and it just kinda revs for a while and slowly winds down.
Ive tried adjusting the ETC with no luck. although I'm not 100 percent sure that i did this properly.
Now i dont ride this quad very often at all and Ive tried draining all the fuel and cleaned the carb many times with no luck.
1.i replaced the throttle cable a while back - could they have given me the wrong one?
2. I replaced the needle and seat recently also. I dont have and issue with any fuel leaking out of the bowl.
3. A long time ago i replaced the head gasket and the camshaft with a new stocker.
4. I haven't had the clutches serviced in quite a while to be honest.
5. The quad backfires a lil bit if you rev it up high and let off in neutral..
Any ideas to what my issue could be?
