1988 Indy Trail 488

[Lightnin]

Hi I have an’ 88 Trail Deluxe 488 fan.
I’m having some issues and any help would be great.
She starts and idles great but as soon as I press the throttle it will start to die.
If I let go she idles good again. If I pump the throttle quickly I get her to move somewhat. She ran good last year and I stored it with stabilizer.
Again thanks for any ideas.

Id clean the carbs and be sure to clean the pilots. Then I would try throttle with belt off, will it die?

Hi thanks for the reply - if I just raise the track off of the ground I can get her to rev up nice and get the track to spin fine.

I would guess you have some warn clutch parts. Bushings or primary rollers.
