my bike has been running strong all of a sudden one day it runs like crap at mid to full throttle i have replaced coil ,stator,cleaned carb,checked compression,adjusted valves ,checked all elec grounds and connects,pulled valve cover off to see if timming jumped and with crank at tdc cam sprocket marks were off not paralel but when i moved chain on sprocket either way 1 tooth fwd or rev marks off even worse have a feeling cam chain may be stretched anyone experience this ,,quad is 2001 on original cam chain. thanks

when mine did that the air boot going to the carb wasnt on all the way letting in too much air.

if everything checks out i would check simple things like
your choke i would make sure that didnt get bumped up some, that would make it cut out and run like crap


that just happened to me this winter....i didnt push the handle down all the way and cruised down the road and about fell on my face.....idiot lol

Something similar happened to my 05. I cleaned the carb with no results. I noticed that when I replaced the carb it was slightly tilted. I straightened it in the boot and it ran great. I assume that by the carb being tilted, it affected the fuel level in the bowl.
