Just a lil knowledge quiz.

[Blue250X]

I thought I would give some of you guys a litte quiz to see who really knows their stuff. I already know exactly what is wrong and already have it half fixed, but we'll see if anyone can guess it. OK, I'm riding in the snow, and I go to gun it and it only revs out so far. It isnt like the choke is on, it's like I have a throttle stop no it. If anyone needs a better description or symptoms, ask for them. Let's see who really knows what they are talking about.:D

i need a lil better discription i think u said it was like your throttle stoped?

[nicktrx400ex]

it could be the throtle cable not all the way in cuz i didnt adjust mine right and it wouldnt rev up much or it could be jetting but that would make it bog also is any of these right?

Well, my throttle went in the whole way, but it was like someone put it so it wouldn't rev the whole way out. But it sounded healthy, not like the choke was on. Throttle cable is properly adjusted.

[nicktrx400ex]

rev box thats all i keep thinking of for some reason? what all do u have done to it?

[nicktrx400ex]

like mods have u done to it mabe that would help im not shure but would the valves be it?

[Chin_Chilla]

Sounds like the air boot that connects from your air box to the carb may have come off, or from the carb to the motor, vice versa. That happened to me when I went out to the dunes, I was so bummed because I didn't have any extra jets, to make a long story short, I drove 4 hours each way to get there and back and rode for 2 hours...:mad:

[Honda#4]

the main jet is too big maybe or posibley the the throttle nut has to much freeplay in it.

[Blue250X]

nicktrx400ex- rev box is fine, not the valves. Mods are 12:1 wiseco piston, K&N filter, FMF megamax pipe. Those are all the motor mods. Its also jetted.

Chin Chilla- Its not that.

Honda#4 - Nope, but you are closer than the rest.

Tell me when you want a hint or if you need any more descriptions/symptoms.

[jerry-89-250R]

main jet fell out ?

[nicktrx400ex]

i said jetting but il tak a hint

[Xater]

[AtvMxRider]

[Blue250X]

jerry-89-250R- not that

Xater - nope

AtvMxRider - you are so close its not funny.

I'll give you all a hint if you didn't already know, it has to do with the carb.

BINGO!!!! haha...how does that happen? oh well, I have it fixed now, so no worries.

[nicktrx400ex]

dang theres not much in that area

[REBSR76]

I'm sure it's in the cable. Mine does the samr thing but I can push thru it with enough pressure. But if I'm wrong let me know so I don't waste the $$.

This happens when... uh... dumb people change needles and don't tighten the two screws all of the way!

Ok, good to see you had something worth saying. Just for the record i tightened the screws the best i could, and it's not your fourwheeler is it? Live and learn, I learned. You don't have to come in here with comments that are useless.

[nicktrx400ex]
