sorry guys for the spelling it is running rich I have st the metering jet to the top so it is as leane as it can be I put a carb kit in it not oem and I think the jets are to big and I am trying to find out what the stock jet should be and where to buy them I have the air screw at 2 7/8 turns out the atv runs great for about a 1/2 hour then you can feel it not running right black out the tail pipe and when I pull the plug it looks like soot covered not wet at all just black soot if anyone knows anything I can do I would be so happy thanks dan

I think you are on to something with the jet, i'd try to get a hold of service manual.  If you bought a kit though it should be specific to your model.

Thanks it seems the 97model is a animal all to its own the lt-f250 manual does not address it very well at all thanks for your help

I see lots of carb rebuild kits for sale on line, anywhere from $15 bucks on up to $50+.  Has anyone had good luck with the real cheap kits?  Or can you recommend one brand over the other?

Have you set the float to the correct level according to the service manual? If the float is set to high you will get similar issues. Shindy makes rebuild kits that have stock jets.
