hey guys ok i went to indian canyon today....i had to ditch my windshield right on the trail bc it was blocking the flow to the radiator and i started to overheat...so after i ditched it temps went back to normal...then i started bogging down i dont no y but climbing hills id bog down and then it would be normal for a bit then bog down so i thought it was the altitude but when i went back to my normal altitude i was bogging down but not as much so any suggestions...all i no is im f***kin pist

thanks chris

Did it only bog down on hills or on the flat areas as well?
Could it be your belt slipping?

Did you pick up your windscreen?

yes i did and it was only on hills not down hill or flat land

were you in high gear when it bogged down

i bogged down in high and low gear

I would start by checking the fuel flow, air filter, then the belt and variator

ur float bowl level set too low, starving 4 gas ??

I agree with a fuel flow issue... I'd look at your float bowl first thing. A little history would help too. New buggy to you? If not, how's it ran in the past?

well i have had fuel starvation issues b4 and it was because of a piece of crap part and i was going to put a better 1 on but i had to replace the stock 1 again

wat the HECK! i didnt write tht haha i was in the process of writing it and i got up some1 must of wrote tht as a joke when i got up ....but my fuel petcock went out and it i had to put a new stock 1 back on so u think its tht again

and i never changed out my air filter and i have taken it out over 10 times so tht can be it also huh?

Gonna be one of the two guaranteed.

Hey Chris a little off subject but, I put 10" car radiator fans on my buggies, they rock.

haha ok ill look into the car radiator fans and ill check the filter it probably is then is tht isnt it then ill check the fuel lines and flow

If it is giving you fits mostly on an incline, make sure you check out your float level too.

well how do i check tht?

That depends. Can you pull your float bowl with the carb on the buggy? If so, the easy thing to do is pull the float bowl and check to see how much fuel you have in there. Is there enough to not starve the carb once the buggy is at an incline? If not, or if you have to pull the carb anyway... Once the carb is off and the float bowl is removed, put a piece of hose on your carb fuel inlet and blow. While blowing, gently lift the float until you can no longer easily blow through the hose. That'll tell you at what point the float needle is shutting off fuel flow. As far as adjusting goes, I just eyeball mine. Just want enough fuel in the bowl to keep a constant flow through the carb at a variety of angles. I'm sure someone here has the exact specs on adjusting the float, however. As far as adjusting the level goes, just bend the small tang that's on the float that the needle is hanging on. It only takes a small amount of movement so don't bend like crazy.

ok thanks ill try ur advice after i change our the air filter becuase it might be somthing simple

If you are using the stock fuel filter, that should be changed too. Even after I changed that, my 250 sand viper would cut out going up hill unless I had the gas tank half full or more, or had the petcock on reserve. Anyway, don't forget to replace the fuel filter.

BTW, where is Indian Canyon? I was at Rowher flats yesterday.

i no where rowher flats is...i didnt no some1 rides by me and indian canyon is all the way up soledad canyon rele far up soledad haha
