What does running lean mean on a ATV?
Lean or Rich refers to the fuel/air *mixture* (which is usually about 1/8).

Ensure the fuel lines are not clogged or bent so that they do not allow proper fuel flow. Replace any clogged or damaged lines and make sure they are correctly installed with no kinks. If your bike has a separate fuel filter, it may be clogged up from years of riding or contaminated fuel. Replace the filter with a new one.
