this should get you close, will still have to fine tune due to exacting conditions.....humidity, temperature, pipe, silencer and reeds....however try this:
Main 360
Pilot 20
Needle H1-70
Needle Top Clip
Air Screw 2 Out

Fuel varnish in the carburetors could cause the problem you describe, especially if your bike has high miles or if it has ever been sitting for a long period of time (more than one year). Moisture and other contaminants trapped in the carburetor float bowls may also be the culprit. Try loosening the drain screw on each float bowl and see what comes out. A proper carburetor overhaul is the only sure way to remedy clogged jets.
First, however, be sure that all of the normal tune up items have been performed (oil change, spark plugs, air filter, valve adjustment, etc.).
Using the Lucas "Tune Up In A Bottle" I doubt will provide any profound improvement - but probably won't hurt, either.

I have solved similar symptoms by either resitting the breather hose at the front of the quad making sure there are no kinks cuts. If it goes from a filter check the filter for cleaning. Try to drain some fuel from the carb by turning the screw on the opposite side of the carburetor to the screw for changing the idle. Thats where it is on my raptor 100cc. This solved the same problem twice for me. I don't know if there's an air bubble. alternatively you could try cleaning the carb just from the outside by taking the breather hose off. You will have exposed parts so look for buildup there. Hope this helps mate.. Good luck
