1989 LT 500 sluggish but clears out on top end |

My 1989 quadzilla starts great, has good compression, new dg |
|
exhaust system, but it is sluggish in the lower gears and tries |
|
to clear out in the higher gears. I am thinking it is getting |
|
too much fuel. It also idles. The only problem is it is lacking |
|
power. I am running 93 gas, mixed 40 to 1 with castor 927. Any |
|
ideas? |

Did it just start doing this? If so, what have you changed? |

Nothing, I just bought the 4wheeler. I bought it like this. The |
|
guy I got it from told me it has a fresh top end but has been |
|
sitting up for a while. He said it ran right when he parked it. |

That's what I am thinking as well. I had some people try to tell |
|
me it was a blown head gasket, but I just dont believe it is. |
