2017 Kawasaki Ultra 310x, 75 hours. Full throttle engine acts as if governed and bogs down. 2/3 throttle gets best response but only reaches 6000 RPM, normal for this ski is 7000

    I have two identical skis the other ski does not govern down or slow down and runs from day one at 7400 RPM this one now will only reach 6400 RPM. This troubled ski will only reach 6400 RPM whereas prior it would reach 7000

    Both skis have been together every time one goes out. They were always both fueled together with 93 octane fuel. The fully functioning ski turns 7400 RPM and has since day one. When the issue ski (when new) was put in the water after the break in period would only turn 5800 RPM. Brought it back to the dealer, they said the plugs were bad. After the new plugs ski would only turn 7000 RPM and we were told the difference between the two is normal. Since then the issue ski has needed the plug changed every ten (10) hours, (seems excessive) while the other ski has had the plugs changed only once. Now with new plugs the issue ski will only turn 6400 RPM and only is throttle is pulled 2/3rds. Above 2/3rds throttle the engine bogs down.

Have you ever heard of RPM roll over? If the engine was allowed to reach it's max RPM under throttle the inertia would cause it to exceed its design max RPM, so it set below that to avoid flying rods and pistons. And yes it is governed.

SOURCE: Bogging engine 3400-4000 RPM under full throttle.

Sounds like one of the intermittant jets is clogged. Need to clean the carbs.

Messed up carburetor

Start out with both screws at 1-1/2 run saw full throttle and adj. screw closest to air filter, which should be "H" screw it in slowly till you reach max rpm's then reverese the screw just till it starts to slow down, keep in mind don't take forever to do this cause you don't want it running lean (max rpm's) because it will COOK in no time! After you have the high speed set let saw Idle, then accelerate quickly, if it bogs turn the "L"" clockwise little at a time reving it each time, till you get the bog worked, then when acceleration sounds quite responsive then go back to H speed and readjust it, open it up some and run it wide open and readadjust H speed to where it just drops off on rpms on the rich side not lean side, righty (leany)...Lefty Richy ! Good luck

The atv starts with the choke on and idles great. When i go to throttle it bogs down and shuts off with an ocasional small backfire

you need to clean out the carburetor, the gas isn't getting through it. the bogging is caused by all the gas going into the engine cause of the choke, it dumps raw fuel into the engine and cant burn it all, there fore bogging and acting sluggish, the back firing is caused by the same thing, too much fuel going into the engine and being deposited in the pipe and igniting occasionally, clean the carb out and it will run fine

How do I adjust needle valves on a 25cc Homelite UT08111A Backpack leaf blower?

Set the lowend & highend needles to about 1 3/4 to 2 turns each. Choke the carb or prime it, until the carb is wet. Fire up the engine and let it warm up. Let's set the topend first since it's the easier of the two. Go to full throttle. Adjust the topend needle for peak RPM. Leave it wide open for about a minute to see if it changes any. Should the engine go lean, open the lowend needle slightly, if this dosen't work... you will have to adjust the needle valve inside the carb.( I will explain this later) If the topend runs OK, then slowly pull the throttle down until the engine begins to "four cycle" hold the throttle there. Adjust the lowend needle until the "four cycling" barely stops. Now lower the throttle more until it "four cycles" again, and adjust the lowend again. Keep doing this until you reach full idle. Now, from full idle begin to throttle up until the engine starts to bog or hesitate. Open up the lowend needle just enough to eliminate the bog or hesitation.
