Hey All,
I just wanted to throw a quick tip out there for anybody who is as mechanically inept as myself.
I recently had my Wolvie serviced because I experienced serious engine sputtering. It would mostly happen on straight-aways when we were cranking the quads. I would feel and hear the engine sputter and lose power. If I maintained infrequent speeds it seemed to operate OK.
Anyway, long-story-short, my mechanic found some debris in the carburetor. I don't know how it got in there, but he said it would collect and clog the line. Once I let off the throttle he said the bowl would fill back up, swishing the debris out of the opening. (I hope I recalled that correctly.)
He said he recognized the symptoms because he experienced the same issue. So thinking this might be more common, and in an effort to save you some dough and time, I thought I would pass it along.
Out.
