[chris111179]

My quadsport at just off idle runs like crap it back fires bogs sputters chugs and just sucks so bad that i cant ride it cause it anoyes the crap out of me. it starts fine then when it warms up it gets worse, sometimes if i ride it for a long time it will only run at like allmost half throttle any more or less it bogs and pops and has no tourqu. but when it first starts up it will bog untill a little below 1/5 it will bog then when u hit a certain point it runs fine. my pilot jet is 20 and my main is 112.5. please help, Thank you the plug is a blackish black but it smokes a lot.

What year is your Quadsport?

Your problem could be one of many things, possibly a problem with the CDI, could be that your valves need to be adjusted, dirty air cleaner, leaky rings or valve guides. Besides it running poorly, the fact that it is smoking is the only real indicator of a problem that we have to go on, so what color is the smoke? A couple things you could do to try and isolate the problem are; a compression test, check the valve clearances and timing, check the timing key, check the fuel tank and carb for deposits or blockages, check your air cleaner, try installing a new spark plug.
