Alright, here's my story.
I installed a SunLine adjustable fuel/air screw on my carb and set it to what I had it at before (1 turn out) and then rode it like all day and sometimes when I would hold it like 3/4 to WFO throttle for a long time on straight aways and stuff when I let off the gas it would just sputter and die out.
After waiting a few minutes it would fire back up again and would run mint.
Then I rode to my buddys house and was pullin' 5th gear wheelies and everything by his house and no problems. Then when I left I was cruising down the road 5th gear 'bout half throttle and it just sputtered out and died on the spot. It would NOT fire back up, and I couldn't bump start it. Pulled the spark plug out and it was very dry and a light brown color.
Then after being picked up and driven home, I set the quad in the shop and didn't touch it. I went to start it this morning and it fired RIGHT up without any persuasion. What's the big deal here? Why is my quad doing this to me?!
Any help would be appreciated.
