I have an '06 trx 450 ER. I took it out the other day and it ran fine for a couple of minutes, then it started to sputter and backfire out of the exhaust (shooting flames out of my HMF pipe) it feels like i lose a bunch of hp. So i replaced the spark plug, COMPLETELY took the carb apart and cleaned the sh*t out of it. I cleaned the air filter and its still doing the same thing. It starts up just fine and i can roll into the throttle and its not nearly as bad as when i hammer down on it. Can anyone help save my weekend of riding?!?!

What size main jets are you running? if you are running with no breather box top you will need a 180 to 185 if you have a pipe on it and the air screw out 2 turns. sounds like its lean and do you have a adjustable needle in it if so 3rd notch from bottom, if not get one and in stall.
