Yeh i have a 1999 Arctic 600 zrt that has ran fine for me all last
year and put about 50 miles on before i took it in like i always do to
get the carbs cleaned and everything else checked over for the year.
Those 50 miles it ran great but never wanna go a year without getting
the the carbs cleaned. So i got all that done and it ran good for
about 30-40 miles and now it keeps bogging down and it might take me
1min to get it back going to a half hour and then it will run fine for
a little while or maybe even 5 miles and then it'll do it again. And
when im starting it it will start up right away most of the time but
it'll just be barely idleing and will slowly work its way up most of
the time and then i have to keep givin in gas on and off and most of
the time after doing this continuosly it'll run fine again. I was told
it might be water in the gas so i drained it all out and put premium
gas in with iso-heet and the problem still continous. So the only
thing i can think of now is that the guy messed something up with my
carbs. But im not positive. Any comments or suggestions wat might be
wrong? Thanks

Could be a plugged vent in the gas tank. Crack open the cap and see if it
starts
to run OK when you do that.
Otherwise I would take it back to the mech. who worked on it and tell him.
He was supposed to check it over right?

Thanks for your response. yeh he greased everything and tightened the
track and checked the clutch and cleaned the carbs and now its doing
that bogging. And thats who i called about the problem and he said
thats what he thought it was but it shouldn't be doing that that many
times especially with a new tank of gas. So you say try opening the
gas cap a little bit and to see if its any better. I'll try that once.
thanks
