Sort of sounds like what mine did before I did a complete cleaning of it. I'd have to read my post again as to exactly what all happened and what I did. I know I ended up changing the plug wires, plugs, fuel line & filter, rinsed out the gas tank, put new carb kit in it, new gaskets for the manifold on the exhaust and intake side as well as the one beneith the carb. I think I cleaned out about 20 years of baked on crap on the inside of the carb and it still wasnt' anywhere near perfect but it would have to do. Mine searches a little now and again, but I am thinking I need to do a little more fine tuning with the govenor. But then again, I think the linkage might be getting a little worn too, so that doesn't help any. Honestly - I think the biggest problem is it didn't get used enough in the past! I work it as much as I can now....the ATV does more sitting now that I have the 982 to do the yard work with.
