Title: ATV will run but not rev up
Post by: danfl on July 23, 2011, 08:34:17 PM
All,

My son has a 90 Eton. It starts right up but when you give it some throttle is boggs down. The fuel is fresh, checked the flow of fuel before and after the filter and it was the same. Sometimes it runs right and sometimes it does not. It seems to be getting worse. Can it be electrical? Maybe I need to clean the carb again? I just did that a few weeks ago. Can the fuel junk it up it that short period of time? New spark plug. What do you all think? Any advise will help. It is the same fuel in my ATV and no issues there.

Thanks for your help.

Dan

Sounds like a carb issue. Either jetting or something is clogged.

Ride1Rob,

Thanks for the help. That was the issue. I pulled the jet and you could not see through it. Cleaned it out. It is running about 95%. Good enough to take him to L Cross next weekend and let him ride around. I will have to do a good cleaning once we give it a good ride. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it and so does the kid. He was so happy when it worked.
