Great posting about how carburators work and to also add a very important piece of advice. Go to your local motorcycle shop and get a simple see-through "STONE" FUEL FILTER for your ATV if it doesn't already have one. It's called a "stone" fuel filter in that you'll see what looks like a golden stone inside the filter housing. You won't believe all the crud it'll keep out of your carburator and turning a fun filled day into a nightmare. Some jet holes on these ATV's are just larger than what seems like a human hair, so you know it doesn't take much to plug up. Replace fuel filter every year. It'll be cheaper than that repair bill it'll cost you to rebuild your carb from your service center.
