Like Darth, I only did the carb, gearing and pipe because of my usage. I drag stuff up a steep hill also.
If I was just using it for pure entertainment value, stock would probably work.

Personally, I change all my CG motors to the VM26 carb, just so I have a variety of jetting for them all and they do run a better with them. I'm not sure about yours but my stock Rhino carb was red lock-tited on the slide cap and the bowl screws were break-off. I'm not sure if that's a CARB thing or if everyone's is like that. Man, getting that slide cap off wasn't fun.

If you do the air filter mod to keep it out of the water, you'll just have to ride it and see if you need to do anything with the carb.
