Greetings friends, I recently bought a 96 Indy 500, it's fricken awesome for the most part. Just one slight issue. Occasionally the sled will bog while throttling up. The circumstances and things I've noticed while riding are listed below. Hopefully someone can make sense of it and point me in the right direction.
1. Bogging only occurs from idle as I apply power. Does not matter if I stomp the gas or apply power gradually.
2. It virtually never bogs on packed trails. 90% of the time it's in powder, unpacked snow, or going up a hill. It bogs every time the track is put under more load / resistance than a packed trail has. Again, this is if I'm at a stop or underway slowly from a stop and need a lot of power to get moving. If I'm already moving along at say 20mph, or if I'm coasting down and apply power again, I can do whatever I want and it WILL NOT bog.
3. Once it bogs, I can hold the throttle all the way open and it will stay right at 3500-4000rpm, no more.
4. Usually feathering the throttle will let me start moving, once I break about 10mph and Rpms get up to 4500+ I no longer have any issues and sled takes off like a rocket.
5. This may not be important but I'll add it just in case. The sled likes to idle between 2900 and 3500rpm. As I sit there the idle will stop down to 2900 and stabilize. What I noticed is that the second I apply power the primary clutch engages the belt.
My gut is telling me the primary clutch is the culprit. My guess is it's engaging too soon, before the motor has a chance to generate horsepower and it's bogging down.
The input you fine fellows and gals is so very much appreciated, so let me know what you guys think. Thanks all! Merry Chrismas!

Bogging, maybe clutching issues?
