Shake the back of your buggy hard when it is sitting there idling if the idle drops adjust the float I think mine is set at 13-15 mm closed leaving the gasket on measure it at the end of the float closest to the center of the carb

Float looks great.. it's about 14mm
Its acting like the idle jets are dirty but I pull them or and clean I choke it out seems to run ok for a few than boom only running on 1 and 4 again. It's starting to piss me off lol

Blow some carb cleaner and air through the idle circuit.

Does it quit idling after you go through puddles or just anytime riding through the woods my plug wires were seeking all over on my one motor making it idle very rough only way I knew that was by checking it at night and that's when I noticed a light show going on from my plug wires after they dried out it ran fine till the next time I hit a puddle

When you do have a bad plug wire , pull the end off of it and snip an inch off and re twist into it b4 you go buy new ones.
