1996 Yamaha Big Bear Too Much Torque?

[jrichmond182]

Picked up a 96 big bear 4x4, put a new carb on it and some electrical work to get it running. Now when I take off, even with light throttle, it jumps (spins all 4 wheels). When I pull up on the shifter between gears (netrual) I can tell its drags a bit, not fully engaged in netrual. Was wondering if the jumping could be caused by a worn Clutch.

Did you try adjusting the clutch? Not sure if this is relevent for your model...

ill give it a try tomorrow, don't know alot about atv clutches but, would this adjust the splipage of the clutch or the shift point, by that I mean, It shifts great, smooth, in and out of all gears, just seems to "clutch drop" when I take off in first with gentel throttle. By that, I mean its like reving up and dropping into first to pop a wheelie (in my younger days, lol).
