2001 recon backfiring an won’t idle

Ok techs I’m stumped, this recon is a friends….it’s had popping out of the carb an exhaust, when it runs the motor will rev, but when it idles down it will start backfiring from both an quite! As long as you keep the RPMS up it will run, but it does have a bad miss while running, now the steps I’ve done to try an fix, are as follows, I’ve removed fuel tank an cleaned it completely, carb has been replaced with new one, spark plug replaced, all lines involved with fuel an vacuum are new…also there is no irregular engine noises. So do you guys think it may be ignition coil breaking down? Or cdi box issues? Any help is greatly appreciated [emoji848]

Need some help with a 1997 Recon Carb/throttle Cable

Ok, I ordered a new carb off ebay for my 1997 Recon. It came in and looked the same, but when installed, i noticed the top of the carb, where the throttle cable screws in is bigger.

So the old throttle cable cap will not screw in, I cannot get the cap off the old throttle cable line, should that come off?

So I double stacked the caps just to see if it would run, this made the throttle TIGHT, but the recon fired right up and ran great, but was reved because of the cable so I killed it quickly.

So what’s the options? Will I have to get a new throttle cable? or can i swap those caps somehow?

This is HUGE for me and I really am desperate to fix, any help if much appreciated.

Thanks!
Cody
