I posted this on Green hulk forums, but am not getting much help.
Hi guys,
My cousin came over with her/my uncle's 99 GP800X. Her and her boyfriend launched it and she rode it over to our dock. It apparently was not running correctly and she said it just wouldn't rev up all the way and was idling rough.
I am a four stroke quad guy, and thought that I could take a look at it in case it was something easy so they didn't have to take it in. My cousin said it had run like this before and that there friend told them to run a hotter plug. so they swapped the plugs and it seemingly ran better.
I was pretty certain they had not been maintaining the bike so my first idea was to look at whatever air cleaner setup to check for any restrictions/etc. As you guys already know that there is not much of an air cleaner/filter on them so that was probably not it.
Next I checked the plugs and they were a day old and very oily. My thoughts now are that there might be a fuel filter clog that is not allowing the proper mix.
Anyway I am new to these toys and thought I would run it by you guys for thoughts and troubleshooting ideas. I will now start searching
Thanks!!!
