Lean baby lean. Sounds like both your pilot and main jet need to be changed out for some bigger ones. Maybe some of the raptor guys can give you an idea where you need to be. The popping is a classic sign of leaness.

Open up those fuel screws!!! I'm running a Big Gun with similiar jetting, and my screws are set at 3 turns out! If you need more advice on this, go to atvconnection.com Forums, Yamaha, and do a search on yoshi and jetting. Good luck...it's a pain adjusting the carbs on the reptile. Haz

Yes, 3 turns out on the screws. If you are running without the airbox lid you may need to increase the pilots to 27.5
