I took my carb off my Recon this weekend. Took the jets out, cleaned them with carb cleaner.

Drained the tank, put it all back together and it runs better than ever.

Took me 2-3 hours, taking my time, drinkin beer.

Oh, yeah, searched it on youtube, watched a 10 minute video, really helped.

I didn't buy any parts.

I cleaned my Fourtrax 300 carb last week.
1. Take off seat
2. Remove gas tank
3. Remove frame bracket seat bolts to
4. Unscrew choke cable
5. Un hook throttle cable
6. Loosen two clamps on each side of carb & remove carb out top of frame.
7. Watch some you tube videos on carb cleaning

8. Go to bolt and screw store to buy new screws to replace the ones you had to cut the stripped heads off to remove the bowl.
9. Re-install carb

Carb cleaning is pretty easy. Take it apart and clean the jets with a small piece of wire from a wire brush. Only adjustment is to set the idle air mixture screw to 1 1/8 turn out. I use a 4 six pack beer case box with shop towel placed in bottom to disassemble carb so I don't lose or misplace anything.
