I have a big bear 350 from somewhere between 1987-1998 that I'm having some issues with. Whenever I get onto the gas quickly it bogs it down and if you don't let off it dies, even when it is warmed up. The only way it doesn't is if you slowly ease onto the gas. Could a part be bad in the carb? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm gonna include just regular pictures of it also21d92e4ea831767f997ae2ea10d3808c.jpgd74c13c4247f8650c0412227c4dfcdbc.jpg55b73ae85aae371a6c5dd0c0c875610f.jpgacba6b8563b7a97f6f2c414b11781966.jpg

I’m having the exact same issue with my 1998 Big Bear 350 4x4 Special Edition. I recently got it running that way and figured it likely to be a carb issue from sitting. I re-built the carb and nothing has changed. Did you ever resolve the problem you were having with yours? Thanks.

I'd check that both the throttle butterfly and the slide were moving together and if they are right, then I'd be stripping the carb and cleaning it and checking the float level.

Probably a good idea to check the charging system too..  If there's a fault with the battery or the regulator, the charging can put such a big load on the engine that they feel like they are seizing once the revs get up.

      I rebuilt the carb on said machine. When I hook up the auxiliary gas tank it runs fine and everything is cool. When I put the fuel tank on and hooked up the lines, it completely flooded the cylinder and even about an inch of fuel in the air box. I'm pretty sure that it comes from the little hose on the petcock and hooks to the top of the carb. WTH is that even for? I mean the thing runs fine on the auxiliary tank, so idk And on the petcock when it's in the "on" position, I get no fuel. The petcock from the bike I took it apart and checked out how it operates. The sharpie marks indicate how it really works. Now the other petcock w/o the sharpie marks is an old one that was leaking that I removed from a Polaris quad. It's exactly the same thing, except the small hose and nipple have been removed. I'm so confused, LOL

      I'm working on a 2002 Polaris Sportsman 400 with shift indicator problems. The indicator panel only will show Neutral and Reverse. If it's in High or Low, the indicator will show "R".
      I have replaced the three position indicator switch on the transmission. There is also a two position switch on the tranny that I didn't replace. If anyone is familiar with this problem, please let me know what I need to do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

      I'm currently working on an 04 Suzuki Eiger 400 and ran into some issues. Main issue being it's really hard to start. Once I get it started, it runs bad. Sounds like it's missing, which I'm pretty sure is an idle issue. It's not my 4 wheeler. I'm working on it for a buddy. Someone started working on the original carb and 2 jets were missing when I got it to work on.
      So, I ordered a new carb. To get it to run, I had to adjust the throttle screw on the handle bar almost all of the way out. Even doing that, it still sounds like it's bogging down and missing. 
      I did put a gas filter on it, which I'm questioning whether or not that's the issue and it's not getting enough gas like it should. The petcock only has an On, Reserve, and Prime option. It also has 2 ports. I guess I have the hoses hooked up right. There's no way to shut the gas off completely, and also it looks like there's no gas getting thru unless I run it on Prime. Reserve drips gas. I'm going to take it apart today and clean it. I'm also going to take the jets I need out of the new carb and put in the old one. 
      I don't know what all this person did you the 4 wheeler before I got it. There's odds and ends missing that I've noticed so far. What else can I try or look for? What could be the gas issue with the carb and petcock? The carb was completely off the bike except hanging onto the throttle cable. The diagram I found for the carb doesn't help me with hose placements. Any help, or questions would be appreciated. I can attach photos if it would be of help.

      I've finally been able to get the plugs to spark by replacing the coils, regulator,  and cdi.  When checking the plugs for spark I noticed that they would spark for only a second or two and then no spark.   I release the start button and try again with the same results.  Shouldn't the plugs keep sparking with the start button pushed?  Thanks in advance.

      Just purchased the subject 150.  It makes a crunchy chunky sound when reversing. There was a lot of slack on the chain so I assume that was it, but when I took the chain off I noticed that the transmission output shaft has a lot of slop in it. I have to assume that's not normal. Can anyone confirm?
