Okay. It is the typical china bike PZ carb then. You probably just need to upjet the carb and open up the exhaust and air filter. I would get the performance CDI last.
The other option is a larger carb.

sorry my bad it is the one that you posted the link for.
we found that with the throttle lever at full there was still more throttle at the carb so I tightened it up a bit to take up the slack in the cable....now the carb goes to max when the lever is at full throttle. found this air box under the front of the atv but it goes no where not hooked to anything and nothing to hook a hose to? the filter that is in there was a bit dirty but nothing really and again it goes nowhere so i just put it all back in and carried on. found the air filter box . ...hmmmm think a uni in place of this would be better??? |

went down to lordco and picked up a crankcase K&N air filter that fits perfectly in the air box...hopefully with this upgrade and the throttle workiing in sinc with the carb now we should see a bit more power....fingers x-ed
and yes i oiled it lol |

Did you have to remove the body kit to access the air box? If so, it's much like the one we have. I used the boot that clamps onto the carb to secure a piece of ABS pipe, then I cut a hole in the plastic under the seat. The air filter is clamped onto the ABS under the seat, where it stays nice and dry, and it takes two seconds to access it.

You're going to get in trouble again for putting that junk on the end table.

very nice that you have a little air box to protect that nice little filter from water and mud.. id love to have a air box..
but fair warning, you might be able to squeeze by with that air filter and not doing a rejet.. but should you have a aftermarket exhaust installed DO A REJET BEFORE REALLY RIDING..a lot of times these quads come from the factory running extremely lean, if you add to that lean condition buy doing free flowing upgrades such as intake and exhaust.. its youre motor that pays and it could pay that bill a year from now or 3 days from now.. besides when you do upgrades you dont really take advantage of the extra power untill you do a rejet, and even doing the rejet adds a little power of its own.. keep checking youre spark plug to know what youre air/fuel ratio is right or lean

yes I did have to but only had to undo the front pieces and prop them up as well as remove the rear bolt for the gas tank so it could be prop'd up out of the way as well with the body. I decided that this way was better for the filter due to all the mud that was plastered on the outside of the air box. took it for a good run down the alley behind my house and it really seemed to have a bit more git-up-n-go so we will test it better tomorrow up at stave flats. went to work on the fire extinguisher and rear storage. of course had to put the K&N decal on it .... :roll: got the rear storage bolted on. strapped on a couple of things to see what it will look like and we like it. |

Make sure you oil up that K&N before you finish the job.

Everybody knows that a well placed K&N decal adds 5hp.
I bolted a piece of UHMW plastic to the swingarm to prevent the chain from slapping on the steel. Much less rattly now. I highly recommend that you lube that reverse cable before it chooses to retire. Velcro shoes? Those are stylin'!

An easy solution to the throttle issue. Just an adjustment. I will have to check the same on my scooter.
With just the filter you will probably be okay with the stock jetting. When you upgrade exhaust it will be time for a rejet.

Agreed. The stock filter isn't terribly restrictive, but it's also not very effective.
