Check your pipe to make shure there's no cracks or leaks.

you need to re-jet from what it sounds like you are running lean.....i most likely mistaken because i suck at jetting so get a better opinion on this then mine...but you need to go up on your pilot:confused: :huh

you need a bigger main jet, find out what size is in your quad right now and go buy the next five or six sizes bigger and start trying them out, start with the smallest first, go until the motor cuts out on top end at full throttle/high rpm, then gop back 1 size. should do it

Bradley300 might be right, but I have heard and personally had poping while decelerating and it was a lean condition with the pilot jet. The fuel screw helping some would also lead me to believe that the pilot jet is too small, or starting to plug up. You might give your carb and jets a good cleaning first.

dude, calm your *** down. i'm sure he'll get a new plug along with doing the jetting changes.
