If it is long uphills, I would try putting the petcock over to "prime". The motor could be loosing enough vaccuum to allow the automatic one to close. Or, the float level could be too high... allowing gas to "overflow" into the motor....

my friend's lil bro has an lt80. it likes to bog a lil on the high steep ones too. like does it seem like its wanting to run outta fuel? the one he has just seems underpowered....

My daughters LT80 had the same problem on the motocross track. We put in a new set of rings and replaced her reeds and it did the trick.

FYI: you guys were on the right track. It was the rubber piece smashed and restricting the fuel on one of the jets.
