Since I derailed the thread a bit earlier. I can possibly help you out. I do have a Mikuni BTM carb that came on my raptor when I bought it. Everything on it works, but it does need a couple things. It needs the boot for the accelerator pump and it needs a new o-ring for the needle valve set. Also the cover for the throttle cable area had a crack in it and it was jbwelded. There is no leak and the crack is pretty small. Only reason I replaced the carb was to put an actual raptor OEM carb on my quad. I also did the pen spring and valve stem cap mod. My bike idled and had great throttle response with that carb on it. It seems like between the two carbs you would have one perfectly working one. I am not trying to get rich off it. I would probably take $50 + shipping for it. PM me if you're interested.

Not much to go on there. It could be something as simple as a bad spark plug. To something as big as incorrect valve timing. I'd check to make sure you are getting fuel to the engine. Inspect or replace the plug. Make sure the intake manifold isn't torn, etc... If all that looks good, if could be an ignition or timing issue.

 

[mudbogginsouthernboy]

how do i know if it is getting the correct fuel and air mixture?

 

[mudbogginsouthernboy]

The spark plug is pretty much new naught it a few months ago and stator is new I looked and made sher it's sparking
