Hi. I have a '96 XP 800 that's never quite run correctly. It has a lot of mods done to it from a previous owner. Anyway, the thing is showing symptoms of incorrect carb settings. I'm not sure what direction to go.
The carb currently has a problem at low RPM. I just rebuilt the carbs over winter and already had them apart looking for dirt. It has a 2.0 needle/seat, 80 low jet and a gold spring. To me, it seems to load up. The reason that I suspect that is because it only happens after it idles for a while. The response after 1/3 throttle is hold on for your life acceleration. But under 1/3 it will only rev up quickly if I don't let it idle. If I let it idle for any amount of time it will bog and I'll have to feather the throttle for 10 seconds or so until it starts to go.
I'm not sure if I should be changing the jet or the pop off pressure. The plugs look really good -- like the machine is running perfect. I should also mention that I have brand new needle/seats in there. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
