Hey guys. I hope somebody can help shed some light on this one....
So my warrior has been sitting for a while since it broke the woodruff key. I fixed that, then it wouldn't idle except on choke. So I go through the carb real good and fixed that issue. Then the recoil "blew up" and the electric start quit, so I fixed up the recoil and found a burned out fuse. I replace the fuse and now everything is basically back to normal. Now I notice that the warrior runs fine until you get to about 3/4 throttle where it starts cutting out. I figured it was running lean since I recently put on a UNI Pod Filter that goes right on to the carb, and the quad already had an FMF MegaMax II slip-on. So I put in a 150 main jet (larger) and now it runs fine until only 1/2 throttle. Come to think of it, the warrior started doing this right after I put on the UNI Pod Filter (which was right before it broke the woodruff key). So it would seem the warrior should be running lean right? Don't aftermarket intake and exhaust parts make motors run lean? But since it ran worse with the bigger main jet, it must be running rich. How could that possibly be, and what can I do?
I suppose I could put the stock jet back in and lower the needle. Or I could buy a smaller main jet.
Could there be something wrong with my pipe? I took off the spark arrestor and the pipe appeared clear.
I was planning on getting a new HMF pipe, but I'd like to know if there's some serious problem before I go spend $250 on the quad.
Thanks for any help!
