hello all,im new here. I have a problem I cant solve.ive had this wheeler for about 4 years. ive put a lot of money in it and have had nothing but problems with it.i use it mostly for work,but nothing it shouldn’t be used for. so when its down im kind of screwed. I have replaced: ignition system(common problem I bought the conversion kit),two starters, very expensive battery and as of this past couple weeks a brand new carb and a brand new intake. The latest problem started about a month ago. Boggs and dies if I throttle up. Runs ok with choke on.pulled carb to clean. Still doing it.figured I missed something. Pulled carb and cleaned again. Still doing it.bought new carb.still doing it. noticed a crack in the rubber intake. Replaced that. Still doing it. gas is dripping from the bowl and when I throttle up I get a mist blowing back out of the carb.common sense tells me I need to adjust the floats for the dripping gas problem but the carb manufacturer says if I take the bowl off I void any warranty??so I figured they must come pre set?as before, if I pull the choke all the way out,it will throttle up and run ok.ive adjusted my idle high, low, and all over and no help.im not sure whats going on here but since it was doing the same thing before,im not sure its the carb anymore.what if anything else could it be?really hate taking it to a shop but may have no choice. thanks in advance, mike
