Hello I recently picked up a 99 Big Bear 350 4x4 in very nice condition, the problem i'm having is it makes no power, even when in neutral when I rev the engine from idle it's extremely lazy building rpm.

Pulled the carb today and found the larger(easier to access) jet was a little plugged so removed it and blew the crap out, the smaller jet(more shrouded) looks to have an x-web in it that doesn't want to come out, i'm thinking there should be nothing in the jet so i'll be ordering new ones.

I still have a feeling it runs deeper than just the carb, although the valve train sounds okay i'll be pulling the timing adjuster out to make sure it's not extended to it's limits, if the timing chain adjuster checks out ok what might you suggest I look at next?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions put forth.

I think you are on the right track, rebuild that carb and check timing. Spark is good because its running and I'm assuming you have no air restriction, right? Air filter is clean?

      Just getting into this issue really. Been replacing solenoids but now I'd like to track down the problem. This time I'm not getting neutral/reverse lights or start button. Was on a creek ride when it started doing this recently. It cranks by arcing the solenoid and gives me no light or start button but if I crank with the pull cord....the neutral light and the button work. Turn it off and try to crank with the key and nothing. I'm looking into the safety switch issue tomorrow and re charging the battery. Just figured this was odd enough of a problem that you guys might be familiar. Thanks

      Good morning, checking in from Southern Ontario, I have 3 quads. 201 Honda Forman 450S, 2007 Suzuki King quad 450 and a 2021 Polaris 570 sportsman. My wife and I do a fair amount of riding but hoping to do more this year.
