    Lightbulb spit and sputter!!

    you know when you are getting low on gas and you are doing some whoops or just letting off the gas and your quad spits and sputters!! then you figure its time to put it on reserve. well my 400ex now does this all the time. especially when i,m letting off the throtle and start down a big hill. I have to keep giving it gas.
    I need some thoughts on what to check first?. It will idle fine and take off fine. It just does it while you are riding and it does it periotically. THANKS
