Hey guys this site has been a huge help to me. Thanks! I recently bought a used 07 foreman 500. I have been going through everything. It was running a little rough so I just bought a carb kit and went through the carb. It was pretty clean but one plastic baffle I think was melted in the bottom of the bowl. It didn’t seem necessary so I put it back together without it. I basically swapped everything that came in the kit but one thing I couldn’t find and what I think is the pilot valve? It had some D shaped end and I couldn’t get it out so I just left it alone. Got it back running and it seems that it won’t return to idle quick enough. its kind of hard to shift through the gears because it won’t drop down quick enough. If you rev it up and wait long enough it will get back to a good idle, but takes too long. Also it won’t stay at an idle it will go a while and either sputter or quit. Any help is appreciated!
