    Plz Help My 185!!!

    ok today i put my old pos air box (non sealed) back on the 185...well now for some reason it will only run on full choke and it dies in about 5 minutes of riding and not riding hard...should i just take it off or can i make a carb adjustment to fix it?..i took out the plug and it was wet and black..which i know means to much gas...but it ran perfectly fine before i put the air box on...someone help me plz!

    Yep, it was running fine before because it was getting all the air it needed. Now, the airbox restricts airflow, causing it to get more fuel than air(rich). So, take the airbox off, or re-jet it to run with the airbox.
