Could be too rich.Or just a bad plug.

i changed the plug and it didnt seem to help although it ran good for about 5-10min.
so if its to rich how can i lean it out a bit?

What motor and what map are you running?Could your gas be old?

[i have a big bore 450 and i run the moto map.
i think the problem was i that i switched to race gas and was running a cr8e plug in sunny 80 degree weather.

cr8ek or cr9ek plug. You might check to make sure you're injectors are working correctly.

Check your coil or better yet just get a new one or Canniboomers NoLogy coil setup.I like that the best.

Fuel filters,quick connects?

If it started running bad right after or soon after you started with the race gas, I'd think there is a connection. Switch back to regular premium gas. Race gas isn't needed anyway, it just smells better. You should gut you quick connects like wistech says anyway, just to eliminate a possible problem area.
