Has the Quad sat for a long period of time & not been riden?

ummm, that is a little hard to understand, but from what gather, your clutch only grabs @ the end of full released on the lever? if so, loosen the cable slach @ the pertch and see if that helps. this can cause the pushrod to weld aswell if you don't.....you can have carb tuning issues making it bog down.....also, sounds like your clutch is dry, and needs to be ridden, or the basket is worn out

I ride the quad alot and yes my carbs are out of tune, how much would it cost to get a new basket and get it installed?

a new basket will run from 100 bucks on up. While you are in there I would recommend a pancake bearing. Saves you from a headache down the road. Not that hard to do by yourself. it should take an hour or so.

it's a cake walk to do. you can even tip the bike on its' side and not have to drain the oil. just pay attention how it all comes apart. pull the side cover and it's all there.......you will need a gasket, you can use a penny in the gears to hold the basket from turning..
