Why does my Honda 450 Foreman backfire?
Was moving along in 4th gear at a pretty good clip down a long flat gravel road. Never mudbog it. It was running smooth and fine and with the throttle open it was almost like you had thrown the kill switch. It began to backfire repeatedly through the carb and sounded like it choked to death.

If the filters show significant signs of age, wear, or damage, they should instead be replaced with brand new, OEM Honda filters.

Cutting the throttle to idle will sometimes keep the engine running, wait 15 sec and then take it up to full load, will run 5-10 minutes and then repeats the stumble. Engine stumbled when new once or twice a weekend, but wouldn’t die.
