I bought a 2006 trx450er a while back and and everything was running great. It had not been sitting and it has had no mechanical work done other than oil changes. Then while I was on it riding it started cutting out and backfire Above half throttle. It idols perfect and it runs perfect up to half throttle. I've completely rebuilt the carb, and replaced the jets with OEM jets. I replaced the spark plug, the air filter, and the accelerator pump. I've checked everything I know to check. Can someone please give me some helpful advise?

If you roll on the gas above half throttle, does it still do it? Or is it just if you stab it above half throttle?

Rob

it will do it both ways. It's worse if you just roll into it tho.

Sounds like a spark issue. I would check spark plug boot for cracks May be sparking thorough it or moisture on your connection I have had bad spark plug boot and it run fine in till you got on the throttle and it would short through spark plug boot.

It sounds like a fuel problem. If it were an ignition problem it would miss not bog. I know you rebuilt the carb but it is not getting enough fuel and that throttle position. Sounds like a very small main jet, a clogged air jet or an air leak somewhere between the carb and engine. There is a very small chance that the main jet is way too big but I doubt that is the problem. Oh yeh , check for fuel flow from the hose....clogged vent, clogged fuel filter? etc.

I replaced every jet with oem jets from Honda. The jets I took out when the problems started were also factory jets. I've checked the fuel tank the vents, and the hose going to the carb. I sprayed starting fluid all between the carb and the and the engine to try to find a leak and it never acted any different. I have noticed that when it is neutralized that it will rev up fine. It only Boggs down and backfires when it's under a pull in every gear

Remove the air box lid and run it. if it gets worse you know it's too lean and you need a larger main ( which is what I think it is) if it gets better you'll need to drop the main.
Valves may need checked and re-shimmed?
Replace the spark plug
make sure the hot start valve isn't hanging up?
Check the throttle position sensor to confirm it's calibrated properly disconnect and measure the resistance between the pink and green/yellow on the sensor side it should be between 4-6 ohm.
Check the Closed throttle lever detection system too. disconnect the 2-wire plug and check continuity . . throttle drum close = no continuity , open = continuity

I'm thinking it's not a jetting problem at all because I've ran this trx for about 6 months perfectly. It just started this all the sudden. If it were a jet size problem wouldn't it have been this way when I got it? I may be wrong but that's just my thinking. And I've already replaced this spark plug with a ngk.

I was thinking that yesterday. If it happened all of a sudden and you have cleaned the carb, it doesn't seem like it is fuel related, and might be electrical
