before the quad wouldnt start. i took the carbs apart and found the needle jets were stuck closed. so i cleand them put it all back togeather then it ran good for a little bit. i took it out drove it for a min. then it stalled. i started it back up and it sounded like it was out of gas but it wasnt. it will start but wont stay running unless i hold the throttle in but it sounds like crap. it blows black smoke out the pipe.
05' bike is all stock
someone tell me how to fix this plez.

sounds like you need to take the carb apart again does it actually rev up when your holding the throttle or is it just barely running?

sounds like a jet may have come loose.
