Motor Bogging Very Bad
Posted: Sat Jan 16, 2010 8:44 pm
Hey Guys
Out for a good run today 320km or about 199miles with the wife on our 87 and 90 Vmax, but my sled (the 90) has been bogging alot - hesitation really BAD today off and on. I am steady playing with the throttle to keep the rev's up - if I don't do this, it wants to just bog and not go anywhere.
This bogging would usually occur going up certain hills - such as today - I had to get off the sled and run beside it while still playing with the throttle to try and get the rev's up so it would keep going and not hesitate. But now it's beginning to happen on flat ground..... And then there are times it will just fly, but again it's getting more throttle play then anything to try and keep the rev's up. Today's events even included a couple of times when crossing roads, I had to do the "Old Dog Sled Push" to keep it going - no I wasn't laughing but the wife was. I seem to have to play with the throttle even when it is running as it feels as thou the power is hesitating and not really there for the speed I am going (a real pain in the ass)
Even when Ive been stopped, and to get it rolling, I have to play with the gas to get the rev's up so it will even move. I even had to lift the back end up and had the wife rev the sled up to get it going with no resistance on the ground after we got gas at one place.
I know it is not the Gas since we run both machine together and the wife's 87 is running great (and thats the way I want it - hers running better if you all know what I mean) BUT! this is really starting to P*** me off now.
Could it just be time to rebuild the crank/motor and give up on this motor as it is the orginal?
Maybe other Clutch issues?
Maybe other Carb issues?
Maybe Stator issues?
Any input guys would be great! I am really stuck on this for sure. So any suggestion or lots of them would be nice to read.
Thanks Again
Paul
