A cam really made mine come alive, and you don't have to worry about boring it out and the prices that a bore job can cause. Also, if you got mud in you engine, you better make sure you clean it out as best as you can. I would use Kerosine(sp) to flush it out, or even diesel fuel. Just my $.02

if u get mud in ur engine what happens does it like have no throttle response at all and is really slow....cuz ever since ive went mudding (water over the handlebars) on my trx 300 utility it doesnt seem to have any throttle response. itll take a long time to rev and sometimes itll bog if u give it full throttle

[Alberta_Qaudin]

that could be your carb.....not entierly sure what effect it has on performance....i know when i did get it out of the mud my problem was that it would die when ever i tried to give it just a little throttle, but would run when i gave high revs. and has about a 3 second hesitation in my throttle responce....most of that i attribute to my carb being all gummed up....i'm kind of scared to see what kinda damage i might have done to my engine, dont have it fully apart yet
