2002 Honda Recon Spits And Sputters..help!?

We have a 2002 Honda Recon. It was parked for a few months and ran fine. Now when you try to ride it, you have to pull the choke all the way up to start it. When you are riding it, it spits and sputters and sometimes even backfires. Sometimes it does fine until you get into 3rd gear. The lower the gear, the better it runs. We tried carborator cleaner and we cyfilled (sp?) all the gas out and replaced it with fresh gas. The problem got a little better after we used the carborator cleaner but it still doesn't run right. Any help is appreciated!

    There should be a small drain screw at the botom of the carburetor.

    Drain the water and old gas out of it untill it runs clear.

    Are you helpful it does not say on, reserve, and rancid? The Pingle on my motorcycle is desperate up as off to the front, reserve interior the middle, and on interior the returned. the only purpose off serves is that in case you enable the motorcycle/ATV take a seat for a whilst. This reduces rigidity on the seat of the needle valve, and keeps gasoline from leaking into the engine on gravity fed motorcycles/ATV's with a carb. On is in simple terms that. gasoline can bypass from the tank to the carb. it is the mode you need to function in for the explanation i will point out next. Reserve, counting on the dimensions of your tank, is generally a million/tenth of you entire grant. (Mine is.) whilst the motorcycle starts to sputter and dollar, starts to lose ability, and in simple terms ordinary runs like rubbish you could hit reserve and get a some extra distance to end for extra bypass-juice. working in reserve isn't a sturdy thought. in spite of in case you're fortunate adequate to get caught in a populated area, you nevertheless ought to bypass away your device and attempt to beg or borrow a gasoline can and then get returned to gasoline up before somebody steals it! lots of the extra moderen machines have not got reserve by way of fact that they have a gasoline guage. desire that helps 'ya out. holiday risk-free.
