i was riding down in southern illinois this past weekend and i noticed when i went threw a mud/ water hole it would bog when i gave it full throttle. this also happend when i was driving on the trails and,i let it warm up for 10 min. and it bogged when i went to give it full throttle, i was giving a family member a ride the whole week b/cthey dont have a quad. why is it doing this?

 

need more info ,but in generel sounds like wires shorting out ,

 

it seemed like from 3/4 to full throttle it would loose powertehn about 5 or 10 minutes later it would run fine. it kept doing this for the whole weekend. it seemed like it had no power for the time when it acted up at 3/4 to full throttle. then other times it had all the power it usually has.

 

did the engine actually bog or maybe the belt slipped ?

 

no the engine did not rev up like the belt was slipping. it boged down. i also noticed a smell. i cant explain the smell.

 

Check the belt and the secondary clutch buttons

 

would that make the engine bog down? how? why?

 

yes it can cause a bog if the secondary inst working right it can load the engine up.

 

if the clutch is n't shifting right ,like not backing down then it would be trying to pull amuch higher gear thus bogging the engine down ,
pull the cover off and blow all the belt dust out of the clutch area .

 

Im at school right now, the next time i will be able to ride my quad is in about three weeks. Im thinking of changing the clutch springs in the summer to an EPI primary, and a aaen blue secondary. Will it hurt the quad if i wait till then to check the secondary buttons?? Should i replace the belt? i think its the orginal from 2002? what should i look for with the secondary buttons?? what does the helix do in the PVT??
