about a month ago i let a friend of mine borrow the 400ex. when he brought it back it had lost all of its power. i asked the local mechanic and he suggested that i check the jet. he thought that it might have fell out. i checked it and that was the problem all right. my problem is that i must have put something back wrong and messed something up. the quad is stuck on full throttle. the itself doesnt seem to be stuck at all though. could there be something in the carb that i messed up? i have checked everything out but it seems to be over my ability. anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

i would take the carb apart and make sure everything is in working condition. also, you may just have a bad throttle cable.

the carb seems to be in great shape. ill throw the stock thumb throttle on and see if it changes anything.
