What I have been finding recently is that the machine will run fine for about 3-5 minutes after a cold start, but then starts to bog down when I’m on the throttle. It will putt along at about 20-30 km/hr but any more throttle and it really bogs down to the point of not going anywhere, but the engine still fights to stay alive. Adding a bit of choke kills it outright. I have changed the spark plug and the problem persists. I’m wondering if it is a belt issue, and once that belt heats up after sitting all night it stretches out and effects the clutching. Thoughts?

How long have you tried running it for and how cold was it outside?
