Occasionally while riding our 2002 scrammy 90 seems to bog or act like its running out of fuel then it runs fine again. Any suggestions? usually happens when riding a long straight flat stretch and fuel filter was just changed not long ago.

Have you taken the carb completely apart and cleaned the jets and passages?

I just did that today, it did not look bad . it only does it occasionally,I probably should have pulled the tank and cleaned the petcock as well but did not think of it until I had re-trailered and garaged it.

Could be some junk floating around in the tank, lines, bowl, etc. Is the spark plug boot tight?

Sorry I should have posted the fix. replaced spark plug and made sure boot was tight,I cleaned the carb and we went riding, well it would run for about 2 minutes(about the time it took the filter to fill and then drain the fuel) then act like it was getting no fuel so while everyone else rode I took out the fuel filter and it still did the same thing so I had some extra fuel line and replaced the line from tank to carb and problem was fixed,I think the line had a kink and was restricting the flow.

It does tend to bounce alot, though it does alright and has the power to make most hills,I have wheel extenders on all 4 and I just changed to hopefully better front shocks and bigger wheels and tires on the front so I am hoping this will make things a little smoother.

We haven't had problems with bump steer. I would think the aarms and ride height would also have an affect on it. We're running DC +3 aarms.
