Bogging Engine

I have a 2001 arctic cat zr 440 sno pro and on occasions it just bogs out and will not go over 30 m.p.h. After a moment or to it clears itself out and runs fine again. Anyone have an idea the cause of this? Or the cost to fit it?

Thank You

if you look at the primary clutch i am sure you will see where the wieghts are rubbing .take a screw driver and see if you can move weights side to side .you can buy a bushing kit to to replace the pins and bushings in the weights or rebiuld the whole thing it depends on what the rest of it looks like .the older cats had to be rebiult about every 2000 miles .that has been what i have seen .hope this helps .

you need to see if it is clutching, eletrical, motor or carb. Check your compression. When it boggs and you shut it off pull the plugs and pull it over to see if both plugs have bright blue spark. Are your clutches really hot? When it boggs stop and check to see if they are REALLY hot..and i mean they may be very hot like 170-200 degrees F so be careful touching them. When it boggs chocke it just a little bit to see if it helps or hurts it. Check your plugs. It may have a lean spot or a rich spot. Choking it just a bit may help it by making it richer. if it is lean check for bad crank seals ect... just try to narrow down at least what it isn't and it will help you lean towards what it is.

I think the on occasion part makes me lean closer to clutch than bad crank seals that would be a constant lean. electric kinda cuts in and out more than loss of power but as a ex jaguar[the car] owner I am fully aware of the electrical gremlins and the tricks they play like plug in the cigaret lighter then a full nuclear melt down
