Is it a new carb, or just different sizes jets you need? Just what "mods" have you done for it so far?

Me a response when I accelerate I have changed the jets ,moved my needle and still will not perform like it suppose to.the mods I have done was lite.I have a large free flow exhaust,heads ported and polished,heads been milled, just some small mods.

Default Dailing it in!

When it comes to your carb, especially after a few mods, you just got to keep "dailing" on it til you find the "sweet" spot. I know it took me awhile to get it right! but man was it worth it after I found it!!!

well MR.buggydadct i dont think there is a sequence into tuning a carb. I just kept on trying different jets until i got it to the point where the motor ran the best at for the weather that we have and left it at that. as soon as it cool down im pretty sure i will catch hell with the jetting again

Madman is right its all (trial and error). No single buggy is the same. Make notes on how this carb. Is set before tampering it!!! And check your plug reading.

Good I always felt like I was ****ing myself over by changing one thing out and then trying another I always wondered if there was a proper sequence I should be taking.... Thanks guys I feel a little less like a backyard mechanic now. ...lmao...

..... The best way to learn... I can't wait to rip the kinroad apart this winter and have my boys put it back together at 8 and 11.... Of course I'm going to supervise the whole thing..... But I think they will learn and appreciate it more if they build it themselves.... They keep bugging me to paint camo I keep telling him it doesn't make sense with bright red seats..... And I think the wife is going to start getting a little jealous and thinking I'm obsessive if I get camo seat covers for it.....lol...

This whole "addiction" is a great way to keep parents & siblings connected! be it riding, or just tooling on them!
