2004 Arctic cat atv 500 will not go faster than 40 km/h on flat ground and slows down to 20 km/h going uphill.

Already spent $963 for tune-up, emptying removing and cleaning fuel tank and new carb kit. Obviously the job job was done by someone who does'nt know much. Engine runs fine (now) but with full throttle, max is 40 km/h. And it's not the throttle restricting screw. Thanks

If low performance was the original reason you took it to a repairer, it is clear they have failed to discharge their contract with you and you have grounds for complaint and to expect the repair completed for little or nothing extra.

There are a number of possible reasons why an engine that runs fine would be down on power and if the fuel system really needed that big clean out, it could still be fuel related. A carb and fuel system that was in a bad state often needs cleaning a couple of times, especially if water was a problem.

Other possibilities are a strangled intake, a strangled exhaust, low compressions especially due to bad intake valves or bad valve timing.
Another (unlikely) possibility is that of ignition timing which will likely be electronic with programmed advance characteristics. It is unlikely but it is possible the programme could be damaged leaving the ignition timing too retarded at speed to produce proper power.

It is also worth considering things like tyre pressures, binding brakes, wheel alignment...

SOURCE: flooding and will not open up.

Sounds like the main jet may be out in the carb.

SOURCE: I Have a Ryobi Trimmer. I cleaned out the carb and

adjust the needles both all the way in until they stops. unscrew both 1 1/2 turns and start engine. slowly accelerate and if it bogs down unscrew the HIGH SLOWLY until full speed is gain. some times you have to unscrew a little the low speed too. is a matter of playing with it. be patient you will get it. if you are still having problems you may have to take the bottom of carb. out and make sure the gas inlet needle is letting pass gas into the carb. chamber.

SOURCE: I Have a Ryobi Trimmer.

the high speed check valve is most likely stuck and not allowing fuel to flow properly. the bad thing is it cant really be fixed. i have had some luck removing everything and putting it in an ultra sonic cleaner for about 10 minutes. however the fix doesnt usually last long. may want to look in to a new carb.

SOURCE: engine runs idles great slow speed until throttle up then shuts down

Depending on where you are, you could be getting carbeurettor ice. It's rare, but has happened to me with a 35hp outboard in early morning when temp was just above freezing but humidity was high.

I have a 05 arctic cat 400 atv. My problem is that it's has constant fire to the coil, with the key off and I can't figure out why.

sounds like the switch may be shorted, or a wire(s) have shorted to one another.... Find the plastic connector for the switch and unplug it... it should not fire.. if it does.. maybe someone has hot wired it??? ... BE CAREFUL!!

2004 automatic arctic cat 500 atv with a keihon carborator - starts up and idles. drive and stop and it boggs down and stalls. try starting and it starts right back up. Any ideas?

sounds like it has been sitting, if you have never rebuilt a carb, best to bring it in,, the main jet is probably all gummed up,, you can try draining all your tank gas,, spraying carb cleaner into the carb after removing air cleaner but that really wont help out the main jet.. Stabil is a good product for gas if you are going to store your ride for awhile, it also acts to clean carbs while using a small amount when you fill up.
