I picked up a set of silverback tires on itp plain wheels from a guy local here the tires are all over an inch of tread but I noticed one started to kind of peel up on 3 of the short lugs on the tires. Then I looked it up and it seems to be a pretty common problem with the 27s. Anyone have any input on how I can get this fixed?

This is a stock jug unit with a fatty pipe and rejetted carb (from years ago and I can't even remember what else was done to it, lol) Makes me think there is a gummed up carb but this is a sudden change that makes me wonder. It ran find a few days ago. Zero issues. Last evening it would start up great and idle fine but would sputter out under throttle. I finally figured if I would hold the choke on a little but, I could run it full out with no problem. Seems to me unlikely it is a gummed up carb but that's how it acts. Before I rip the carb apart to clean it, what else could this be?

Hello - new member here - found this forum searching for information about a problem with my 2004 Outlander 400 Max - would appreciate any help you might be able to offer.

Here is the problem: when I shift into reverse or high, the quad shifts easily into the correct gear location, but behaves as if it is still in neutral. Rocking back and forth does not help. After revving the throttle gentle, it will eventually engage most of the time, but I'm concerned this will eventually not work.

Here is a recent issue that I think is related to the problem. I drove the ATV and heard a grinding sound coming from the clutch/drive belt compartment. I removed the cover and the intake/exhaust hoses and found the exhaust port completely plugged with acorns and nesting material (chipmunks!) - the grinding sounds was acorns bouncing around in the case. I cleaned the compartment and reassembled. The problem I am having with entering gear coincides with this issue.

I am assuming that I may have overheated the belt and/or created a clutch issue, but I hope to hear what you all think. Thank you! Cheers!

I rebuilt my carb on my 1995 Trail Boss. Fired right up and rode for about 30 minutes or so till it started bogging down like it was flooding. Now it will not crank at all with everything hooked up. I replaced plug as well. Weird thing is the quad will fire right up with the slide and needle pulled out. Please help!

What's up guys! Decided to get the ole Trail Boss 250 back up and running. I will try to make a extremely long and frustrating story short.... I rebuilt carb with all new jets. Hooked everything back up. Ran great for about 30 minutes or so. Then it's starts bogging down as I give it throttle till finally goes dead. I've pulled carb off a few more times and cleaned again. With everything hooked up I can't get bike to crank at all. I've also replaced plugs. What's weird is if I pull the slide and needle out of the top it fires right up?? I'm assuming it's an air issue since I've got spark and fuel? Please help!
