Here are my symptons of having a dark, wet, carbon soaked fouled PTO plug.
- Takes about 1 - 2 pulls with throttle cracked 1/3 when warm
- Idles at 1,400 - 1,600 when started (waivers around), 1,800 after riding and coming to a stop
- 6 - 8 pulls when cold
- From idle, if I blip throttle full open, it sounds flat, may get to 4,000 RPM from a fasdt blip, buddies 800 will go right upto to 6,000 and engage clutch as well
- riding along if I pin it, it will go right upto to 8,200, shift out wil occur, and then loose power and RPM and settle right around 7,000 - 7,500 rpms. Let off throttle for a second and pin it, it will not go past 7,500 until I bring RPM down for a longer period of time.
- getting 10 - 12 mpg
- Cannot get RPM over 8,200 (30 F temps)
