    I would be looking at the carburetor first. How old is the machine and was it sitting for a long period without being used?

    Its a 2002 TX. This started all at once. Its used everyday and has been running great. I changed the fuel and air filters and the spark plug. If I warm it up by driving for 5-10 minutes its a little better but stills stalls. I NEED HELP, PLEASE.

    I'm still thinking a bit of junk is clogging a jet or passage in the carburetor.

    The first comment I would think they would say is you used fuel with ethanol.

    Thanks for all the help.
    I removed the carb and cleaned. Problem solved. Runs and idles very good. Your comments and suggestions were very much appreciated, thanks.
