Help: 94 warrior sputtering after carb cleaning (SOLVED)

I cleaned my carb the other day, after reassembly the carb was pouring fuel out the overflow and sputtering when trying to accelerate. I took the carb back off and readjusted the float which fixed the pouring fuel, but it's still sputtering. Any ideas? It ran fine before I cleaned it, except for getting difficult to start.

any after market mods and did you clean the carb thoroughly, did you mess with your fuel/air mix, and what are your current jets ?
 
I'm not sure of the jets or any of that. I don't think there are any mods. I don't think I messed with the fuel air ratio. The only jets I took out were the main jet and the jet needle. The rest I just used carb cleaner and compressed air to make sure there was air flow. I'm not a mechanic by any means, but I am one that learns by trial and error, and I'm willing to try and fix anything. I inherited the 4 wheeler from my dad after he passed last year. The only mod that I noticed, was the air filter box isnt anywhere to be found( I don't think it was there when my dad bout it) the air filter it clamped directly on the carb.
 
well that could be your problem with no airbox and you will want to disasemble everything in the carb and then clean and blow everything out in the carb
 
It's been running fine without an air box, but I'll take the carb off and do a full cleaning on it. I fount that part in the manual, so i feel more comfortable with it. Thanks.
 
Could the float height cause this issue? Ive taken out all the jets and cleaned everything. It purrs like a kitten while idling, and runs great while starting off and in reverse. It's just when i try to take off that it starts sputtering. If the float height isn't the issue I think I may just try to see if a rebuild kit will work.
 
Yup... When I first get on it, it's runs so well it makes me wanna just gas it n go, but she won't let me...
 
so you hit the throttle and what it just bogs or trys to die and it would be helpful to know what your main jet is and what your needle clip is set at ?
 
So it does okay when steadily accelerating? But if you hammer in down it sputters? Does is sound like it is loading up with fuel from richness? Lets assume your idle circuit is dialed in right, the main doesn't kick in until wide open throttle. I would say that if it is sputtering that you need to lower your needle one notch and give it a try. The factory needle setting is the 3rd or middle notch, fyi.
 
I'll rip it back apart when I get a chance and check the jet and needle clip setting and check the accelerator pump as well... I'll let ya know.
 
Weather I ease into it or hammer it, it seems like it stars sputtering at about half throttle or so.
 
Can you do a sound clip! Sounds too rich in the mid range. Lower the needle a notch and see what it does.
 
just checking but did you get rid of the 2 safety switches on the clutch perch?
 
The needle is a 5j18 with the clip in the middle... The accelerator pump was sticking toward the furthest point of compression... I replaced the spring with a pen spring and it no longer sticks... I also moved the clip one space up on the needle so it would sit further down... Headed into town now to see if I can find some new screws for the float bowl because I stripped the heads on the existing ones. I'll let ya know what it does once I get it back together.
 
After dropping the needle one notch, and putting the pen spring in, it's still doing the same thing... I took a video with my phone, but the sound isn't the best, but maybe you can make heads or tails of the sounds u hear, you can barely hear the bogging. I also made sure and it is at half throttle or more every time it boggs, doesn't matter if i ease on the throttle or punch it.... As long as I don't go past the half throttle it runs fine....
Ill post a link to the video as soon as it uploads...
