rebuild the carb, include a new float and throttle spring and replace any dog eared screws. The kit comes with a new needle valve and two jets and all the gaskets. Take you time and replace all the parts. Be careful to put the keeper clip (ring) on the proper groove on the needle valve and extra care when bending the float arm to proper travel specs... they will break off if you are rough. Write down the mixture settings and use those as your starting point to readjust the mixture. The engine is designed to use choke when starting and should have a slight skip when idling that smooths out when adding throttle.
Does your artic cat have a carb cable if so it will have an adjustment or a clamp on the cable where it attaches to the linkage..check make sure it is set to low idle..and your idle screw is adjusted to low idke..meaning cable adjusted to lowest possible position when the throttle is released..then make your final adjustment using you idle screw..good luck
Often, it mean that the clutch stay engage. Now the question can be, is the idle to high for the clutch to disengage while at idle? you might try to reduce the idle speed by turning eather the nob on carburator or the ajustement on the cable.
then if the idle is very low and the clutch still engage (that is why you can not shift) you migh want to check at the clutch and see if it is not stuck.
If you have good spark then it's most likely a fuel issue, anything off of idle is dealing with the main jet and metering needle, clean jet and check needle for excessive wear.
replace the $5.00 idle jet with a new one (don't try to clean) & make sure the idle mixture screw is 3 turns out from seated (don't over tighten or will break off tip in Carb
