- 1980 Polaris Centurion
Dug out our Family's 1980 Centurion from the barn, it's 20 yr nap. It has no mods and has never had a screw turned on any of the carbs, always ran well, 3,100 miles on it.
Cleaned carbs, fuel tank and Fuel pump, added new fuel lines as well. It starts ok, a little flooding, great power band but when it gets to about 50mph or so it bogs, I get that empty hone sound as I squeeze the throttle more. If I let off and slow down I can start over through the cycle again. Do you think I should find a replacement Fuel pump, or start exploratory surgery on the one or both of the clutches? Thanks in advance for any opinion.
