Title: high speed help
Post by: yunt2ride on April 18, 2005, 06:11:54 AM
I have a 2002 model artic cat 400 4wd that will only go about 10 miles per hour. Runs good at low speed but just does not have any power. Any suggestions.

No spitting or sputtering. Runs perfect at low speed just won't go over about 10 or 15 MPH. Not really bogging down either. Its like its not getting enough fuel.

Clogged vent tube, bad gas, clogged fuel line, gummed up carb.

Take off the fuel line going to the carb and check, if good  take off bowl or carb and clean.

You might want to check the plug for tell-tale signs.

I have not had a chance to work on it yet. Maybe I can do something this weekend with it.
