Default 89 loosing power when hot

Well the cart has been running good for awhile runs good with just me in the cart but when the wife and I are both in it it will start to lose power when hot the driven clutch seems not to be closing under load am also thinking the main jet could be a little lean am at 1000 ft above sea level hear in Mn with both of us in the cart there is just a little over 500 pounds in the cart

Has any one shimmed the drive clutch spring or the driven clutch I have seen a stronger spring for the driven clutch on the 2cycl has any one used it and what luck did you have with it . I did find the throttle was not opening all the way fixed that helped a little.

Check your belt width when you get a chance. 1-3/16" wide.

The belt is new and 1 3/16 wide it was only acting up with a load in the cart works good with the shim. With out the shim with just me in the cart it would pull fine. I have a red spring for the driven clutch that is a lot stronger the the stock one. I like the way the shim works .
