At end of first ride noticed what seemed like fouled plug. Next ride changed plugs. 25 miles all good then lost power at 7000 rpm acting like not running on all 3. Stoped inspected plugs clutch side seemed a little wet changed that plug good again for a short while. All fuel drained fresh added, carbs inspected cleaned, (nothing found),comp 115/118/118! Any ideas why this is happening???

check all the coil wiring....i have seen a broken wire on one of these coils cause a similar issue. and check the plug wires and caps too.

Clutch side plug foul 2000 mtn max

So I replaced plug wire/ coil clutch side, plug foul stopped. Went to mtn when hill climbing seemed to have a slight miss at times. Also noticed when desending at idle then to power would act as though had little hiccups not a clean accell!! Then on last run it really had a pop and loss of power spooked me. Shut it down checked plugs, all fine! Made it back to rig seemed ok except for slight miss at times. Not sure what's going on any thoughts?? Thanks!!!

You said you changed the wire/coil but did you also replace the cap? Also be sure to use the solid tip plugs and not the screw on tip style.
Is your TORS system still hooked up? If so overide it and see if problem persists.

Did you put larger pilot jets in it for some reason? Pilot jets got me one time.
