I have a 98 foreman trx400fw and it have a brand new top end and carb with a stage one jet kit and a snorkel with a factory air filter. The carb is adjusted to specs for the mods I have and the bike chokes when you give it gas. If you choke it it will run fine but idle high and I know your not supposed to do that. It smells like old 2 stroke fuel and smokes a little even tho the top end is brand new. I'm at a loss idk what else to do

It could be but its jetted specifically for my altitude and everything. Plus I can't find any jets at all for this carb except a dyno jet kit put together after you tell them your attitude and mods

You may be right because I have changed the carb assuming that it would still be factory specs. I can take the jets out of the old carb and install them in the new carb?

Ok I took the pilot jet the main jet and the emulsion tube out of the factory carb along with the needle. I reinstalled the factory washer above the c clip along with the extra washer supplied in my jet kit. The main jet out of the stock carb was much larger than the one in the jet kit for some reason anyways it fires up and idles easy and idles fine not choked and the bad fuel smell is pretty much gone. Now the only problem is I choked it back fires a little and won't take much throttle so I'm assuming I just need to play with the air fuel screw
