Re: 1996 XP Bogging?
When is the last time you rebuilt your carbs? It probably gets plenty of fuel at idle but if the internal fuel filters are pluged up you will not get enough fuel to the motor to keep it running at mid to high speed. Pluged up fuel systems ane the number one killer to two stroke motors, with out proper fuel flow the engine will run lean and sieze. Tom SBT techSBT Tech Support is here to help with your problems.

Re: 1996 XP Bogging?
I rebuilt the carbs last year I have rechecked the interal filters they were clean. also if one of the rave valves is leaking would that cause a problem? there is thick black slug like grease around one of them? The engine would start right up then full throttle for 1 to 2 seconds then it would vibrate and sound completely different and sputter along?Comment

Re: 1996 XP Bogging?
Had same problem, found it to be a hole in the rubber hose between the exhaust and the water box. The carbs do not have a fuel pump as such and rely on manifold pressure. It may be accelerating to start with as you are probably burning fuel fed by the primer.Comment
