So I'm debating weather to tear into this myself or shell out the cash to let the dealer figure it out.
While riding this morning we made it about 5 miles what the motor suddenly started bogging down and then just quit. Pulled a few times but it wasn't starting. I pulled over hard. Held the throttle wide open and it fired up. After about a minute it bogged down and quit again. The plugs were brown and dry. After doing this a few times it came to the point where the pull cord wouldn't budge. I turned the primary by hand and it felt fine then the pull cord freed up and we could get it started again. Eventually it started running rough after we started it so I towed it the rest of the way back. I can still start it but it sounds bad. If I give it some throttle it seems to come out of it but dies when I let off. The plugs are black now and sort of wet. Just curious if anyone has any ideas where I should begin looking. Thanks in advance
