ok fellas, i got a freiend with a forman 350 its a 87 and it just pops when you start it and if you hit the gas it kills, im thinkin it the pet cock becuase the ltrs you have to chage and i think that this one has to be changed now since its a all the OME stuff and i t has a fuel pump and he replaced the filter so i dont know what it is, it runs like the choke is on wide open all the time but its not and we have cleaned the carb, and thoughts or ideas would greatly help me,
thanks!

im pretty sure i have the choke off, it just idles really low and if you hit the gas it dies, and adjusting the idol screw doesnt do any thing from what i've ben told, its my buddys.

thanks!
i'll talk to him about it and see that every thing was takein apart and the carb was put to gether the right way.
thanks any one els?

also if the air filter is blocked it will run rich. but id bet on the choke didnt go all the in theres a rubber o ring on the plunger and it sticks thats what happened to mine

if your sitting on the atv its on the left side it has a plastic screw in top on it and a cable going inside it should be the only other cable besides the throttle cable on the carb unnscrew the plastic top and pull it out should be attached to the cableheres a pic of the carb exploded view its number 9 or go here
