Scrambler won’t idle at all????

I have a 99 scrambler 400, it was running great a month ago and now it won’t idle. I rebuilt the carb all New, put new air filter on it, new reeds and gaskets, and a new spark plug in it. Still won’t idle unless it’s fully choked at all times. It still runs great but I have to keep the throttle open to run, once I let off it bogs down and stalls out. So I know it’s not a fuel issue cuz it will run as long as I keep it throttled. Any ideas or solutions would be great

08 IRS to S swap?

So my brother bought an 08 525 IRS and we have had nothing but issues with the boots since he got it. It wants to act like it is losing power than stalling every time we get it started and a shop by our house said it had to do with the ECM so any insight on that would be nice!
However, my main question is I found a 525 S frame and shaft for cheap and was wondering if I could swap the engine off the IRS and if the front suspension was the same or if they were totally different setups. Once again any insight is better than no insight ?
Thanks!

New from Central Alabama

Greetings! I am new to the ATV scene, as least owning one. I am over 50 and finally got my first, a 1998 Fourtrax 300 4×4. It needs a little work, like a battery and a front rim, a screw or fastener here and there, but it runs great (no smoke) and has a Warn winch as well. I have outgrown "mudding", because I got tired of fixing things that broke as a result. No offense to those who still like it. I am mainly here for technical info and such, and hope I can be a contributor as well.
