Geezer99, There is just something about operating heavy equipment that makes you feel powerful! After I got out of the Army, in 1970, I returned to the construction business. My father, E.J. Roper, had been a Custom Home Builder most of his life and I followed in his footprints. I spent the next 42 years building homes and office buildings. When you are the General Contractor on a jobsite, you can often get a heavy equipment operator to let you operate his equipment just for the fun of it. They enjoyed some time in the shade and I got to operate backhoes, dozers, skid stears, end loaders, track hoes, "Lull" forklifts, and I once operated an old U.S. Army crane, and that thing was a handful. Great fun😁

Yes, what Jen said. I'm working on a 1998 Artic Cat 454 for my brother right now. (stumble at high rpm in 4th and 5th?) I believe most "mixture screws.....located on the bottom rear of the carb.....can be set at two turns out as a starting place. Adjust in (leaner) or out ( richer) to achieve the best idle. Turn the screw all the way in and then back it out counting the turns CCW. Somewhere around 1&1/2 to 3 turns should work. Most of mine set at 2&1/2 Please correct me if I'm wrong!
