I seriously doubt the choke will make the pipe glow.

It's probably time to look into that carburetor again. It was running fine until something changed abruptly. My guess is you'll find something out of place in the carb. Just retrace your steps like a detective.

You may also want to rethink using a loud pipe on that ATV. For a guy who's determined to ride very close to home, in a very populated area, I think you may be making a mistake. Plus, I'm confident that pipe didn't turn that Mojave into a fast ATV, but it's probably louder.

Unfortunately, putting the stock pipe back on probably will not solve the problem.

With the exection of the one spot we talked about (which i havent gotten to look at yet) im basically giving up on trying to find places in my area and will probably start making more trips to P.A.. Its long drive but I just rather not get busted... Im just getting my cdl and I dont need anything messing that up(if I lose my cdl I lose my job).... Monday im gonna go over the bike again and try to figure out what went wrong... I just got the repair manural for it so im gonna replace the plug, adjust the valves, pull the carb and recheck (make sure nothing is loose in there), try to find a dealer thats open to get a new clutch cable, and change the gas... Its the same gas from the summer... The pipe didnt give any power diffence from what I can feel but i really like how it sounds... So im more then likely gonna leave it on there... Plus this bike is my gf bike so Im usurally not riding this one just it was next to the door blocking my bike in and it has reverse....

make sure the cap to the carb is screwed down all the way and snug...And also take a look of how the throttle cable fits into the cap...There should be a rubber boot of sorts...and should b tight..

Couldnt get to working on the bike today.. The cold i knew was going to be there so i planned on working in my shed but when i went out today there was so much wind and that shed with door open creates a nice wind tunnel( big vent my dad put in years ago in the back of the shed)... no lights in there either so i cant close the doors. so im gonna just wait for a less windy and hopefully warmer day soon...
