Re: Low on power
Have you checked that the governor is adjusted properly?
With the key off press the gas pedal to see if the throttle on the carb is opening all of the way. If it is you need to adjust the gov. tension. |

Re: Low on power

Re: Low on power
Timing adjustment can be found in the tech forum. It still sounds like a clutch prob... Just sounds like a clutch isn't proplerly operating. Liftin the rear wheels and accelerating to watch clutch operation is a start.
