Alright heres my issue. My four wheeler was running pretty good up until the other day.
Since then its run like a P.O.S. and can hardly crawl.
I changed the gas, checked the plug.
The only way to keep it running is throttling it quite a bit.
It smokes a blackish tint when wide open and smells like rotten gas.
Any idea what it may be?

well from reading other forums, i've come to the conclusion that i need to change the oil, adjust the valves, and probably clean the filter.

Its been swamped twice, and since the last time it hasn't run 100%
