95 big bear carb

[waynemags]

hey guys. new hear. i just got a 95 big bear that ran fine when i looked at it, but now when i startit, it idles real bad. it runs for a bit at a higher idle, then dies right down and then dies. fire it back up and turn the idle screw in and it idles high. will run fine for a bit then stutters and idles down almost dies then lights up again, then a second later, dies. ive cleaned the carb the best i can . blew out the passages and tried again. still does the same . the air screw was bottomed right down. i opened it to about 2 turns out. seemed to bring the idle back up, then stuters and back down till almost dead, then dies. any suggestions?

Pull the carb and give it a good cleaning. That way you will know what you're dealing with. Who knows how well it was taken care of.

and check the carb boot to the motor. they come apart and cause it to run lean. how clean is the air filter?

we still do not know how my uncles 1992 ran as it fell apart when we went to replace it 2 years ago. bike still started and ran fine too.
