05 Eiger runs poorly

Okay guys I have an 05 Eiger 400 auto 4x4 that runs bad and pops but if you rev it up it starts to clear up and run okay but runs horrible at idle. I have installed a brand new carb rebuild kit and it still runs bad. I have pulled the carb back apart and found no crud or sediment to be clogging it in any way I'm at a loss of why it's running bad any help is appreciated

Try  adjusting the idle  air  screw.  Also  may  be  valves  set  a  little too  tight or  if  the  timing  chain  is  loose it  may  have skipped  a  tooth.  I'd  try  the  idle  air adjustment first , then check  for  vacuum  leaks. If  that  doesn't  do  it, pull the  carb again  and  make sure  all  passages  are  clear  and  jets  checked  for  tiny  missed  holes .  Blow  the  passages  out  with  "Canned  air"  for  cleaning  computers  and electronics  if  you  don't  have  access  to  a compressor.    If the problem  remains  then   you'll  have  to  dig  deeper and  check  valves and  timing.  Usually  running  fine  at  idle  and crap revved up  or  the  reverse  indicates  a fuel   rich or  lean burn problem.

      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.

      From Arkansas. Just bought a 2012 Gator 850i RSX because I could not pass up the price. BUT it has an idle problem. So, to be honest, I joined just to get a service manual. I have a choice: 1)Buy a hard copy: ~$100; 2)Buy a CD ~$35.00; Get a direct download for free posting 10 times; or get a download for $29.00 (subscription). Haven't decided what to do yet.

      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      Howdy y'all, I'm trying to fix a neighbors 2015 Brute Force 300. Came in with hard to start and won't idle except on choke issue. I pulled the carb and found the pilot jet as well as the emulsion tube partially clogged. Cleaned up everything, put it back together, still having issues...  It will start right up on choke and will also start off choke if you give it just a touch of throttle but it absolutely will not idle unless it's choked just a touch. Also, excuse my ignorance but I'm assuming the "dial" thingy attached to the carb that turns in and out is for setting idle??
