2005 arctic cat 500 4x4 issue
#1
When I'm riding on a trail or anything I cant get it to go past half throttle. It acts like its choking out. I've cleaned the air filter new fuel filter and used Seafoam in it with premium gas. Any other ideas what it might be? It runs great otherwise at lower rpm.

I would start with a good compression check to tell the health of the engine. If that is good then how about a new plug. If your only cleaning the carb with a fuel cleaner additive that may take some time and many tanks of fuel.

Very good I'll check the compression. I did look at the spark plug and it looked good but I'll put a new one in and see if that helps. The machine has 1100 miles on it so didnt think the compression should be an issue but guess you never know. I bought it it used. Thanks

A 2005 with 1100 miles on it has had alot of sitting time. My bet is the carb is gummed up and needs to be dissembled and cleaned a por in the tank carb cleaner is never going to get those hard deposits out of the carb
