hey guys I went to valemount the other day and my sled started to act up near the end of the day and today I took it out playing in some ditches but its worse than before, it bogs a lot and im not sure why? I changed all my plugs before the season started so the maybe have 200 kms on them and I only have a d&d can on it. Not even sure where to start. it bogs when I give it full throttle and it will continue to do that once in a while then it will clear up after a bit of ripping, then I shut it down start it up and back to bogging. And when I start it now sometimes it wont start and it never has done that before?? whats going on, out of no where..
09 m8 bogging?

Throttle safety switch..?
Does it sound like its hitting a rev limiter?
Or does it almost die when it bogs?

it almost shuts off when it bogs and im at a slower speed. whats the throttle safety switch? any way to test that? I was going to check my plugs tomorrow too. doesn't sound like a rev limiter I don't think...?
going to try and disconnect the throttle safety switch and try it. if it still bogs it could be the fuel I might have put in it
Check your reeds too
Clutches/belt?
well I think I got it cleared up, what I did was drained the tank of fuel I had in it topped it up with the stuff I usually get (husky 94 octane) and changed the plugs, seems to have worked. When I took it out yesterday it did bog very slightly from a almost dead stop 5km/h or so and I crack the throttle it would bog and die if I didn't baby the throttle. but near the end of my rip yesterday (45kms) it never did it at all and before it would do it when I was wide open and going pretty fast. So I guess I must have put some bad gas in it from valemount on the weekend..
I did end up checking my clutches and ground wires, needed to re ground 1 wire and I also found that my intake openings were full of ice and barely getting any air flow, must have been from the deep pow in valemount plugging it up.
Thanks guys!
