I have an 06 polaris hawkeye that's seems to be running rough. Anytime your running down a trail at about quarter throttle or so the engine will stumble several times and kind bog down. If you open it up to about half throttle it will stop doing it.
I pulled the spark plug to take a look at it and its sooted up pretty good. Looks to me like its running too rich. It also seems to be harder on fuel than it used to be.
I was reading on one of the atv forums that one solution was drill holes in the air box to allow more air in. I'm not about to do that because of possible water inundation. I took the lid off of the air box instead and tried running it. I could hardly get above 1/3 throttle or so before it bogged out. It wouldn't run any faster than about 20 mph or so before it lost power.
I'm not sure if there are any adjustments that can be made on the carb or not. Kinda hard to see it the ways it mounted. Seems other guys were re jetting to solve their issues. Maybe that's what needs done?
