You may not be getting enough fuel. It may be time to remove that carb and give it a good cleaning. How is your choke working, is it fully operational? If you adjust you idle control screw, does it run better?

Exactly...you can run a low restriction high performance muffler..running with no muffler for a prolonged amount of time is not good.

Any luck with this?

Diesels.....nice machine, but I prefer the gas model.

If you are looking for "sympathy", it's in the dictionary between "sh**" and "syphilis".

Congrats on the new quad. Yeah, I believe you will need to get it set by the delaer most likely to have the fan turn on sooner and stay on longer.

Do you have the spark plug # handy?

yes, I wouldcheck that reverse switch.

I would not put champs in a Honda...use: Spark plug Standard: DPR8Z (NGK), X24GPR-U (DENSO) For extended high speed riding: DPR9Z (NGK), X27GPR-U (DENSO)

Here are the specs: Carburetor BSR36 I.D.

Good to see that you found your issue.

Exactly...use an "easy out" extractor.

The horizontal marks should be level with the cylinder head cover mating surface at the same time the "T" mark aligns with the index notch on the case cover. The vertical line on the cam sprocket should point straight up.

Are the back tires locked up?
