Hey bear, when was the last time you checked the float level on your buggy? That is a maintenence item that is overlooked by many, many people. As the float needle wears, it sits up in the seat farther and farther. The farther it sits, the higher the float level gets. The higher the float level gets the more rich your engine runs. And it will run rich all the way through, from idle to wide open. It is amazing to me that many people will swap jets in there machines before they even verify that the float level is correct. It may not be your problem, but it is easy and free to eliminate the possibility. Also if you find the float level to be out of adjustment, make sure you re-check your jetting if you have deviated ftom stock.
