Picked up a 2005 Arctic Cat 250 about a week back, wasn’t running right since it had an Amazon special carb. Have since fully rebuilt and put an oem carb back on it, the quad fires up and idles absolutely perfect now.

Issue now is once I put it in gear and give it some throttle it sputters/pops and feels like it’s really bogging especially on 1st gear. Otherwise runs fine, doesn’t feel like it’s gonna stall just real “sputtery”

I’ve heard possibly a fuel/air mix issue? Or maybe valve clearance? I did plan on relashing the valves when I get some more time.

Just got this 2005 Arctic Cat 250 running good and noticed I have a decent leak in the rear brake hose. It mists quite a bit every time I pull the brake lever.

I’m not too well versed in brake lines on atv’s. Can I get a decent aftermarket hose or should I go oem? Would any ordinary “rear brake hose” work or is it manufacturer specific? Any help would be much appreciated!

Got this genuine Keihin carb for my Arctic Cat 250 for cheap-er on eBay, real gummed up but functions perfectly apart from this one issue, previous owner had a garbage Amazon special carb on it and it ran like shit.

Ordered a Shindy rebuild kit and I have the other original plunger still mounted on the quad. Just need to get this damn thing out and will take any suggestions. Thanks!!
