Bolens Diablo Rouge and Hus Ski Discussion Forums

We had been running it today and performance was getting better all the time. One little problem, well a could be a big one. When backing off the throttle all the way it doesn't slow down much. I had a hell of a time reaching the kill button. Think maybe the Sea-foam lossened up the rings and also maybe carb passages. I haven't looked at it since we shut her down. Only thing I can think of is idle set to high. It was not froze up or stuck. I added more tension to return spring. I'm no mechanic by a long shot. Any suggestions for tomorrow, meeting tonight plus taking Grand kids back to town pretty quick. Thanks Ken we sure have the snow and I didn't plow my drive wide enough this year.

Could your primary clutch need lubrication ? It sounds as if maybe it is sticking closed . Take off the belt and run the motor lightly once clutch closes let off throttle shut it off and lube clutch up ?? This may be the problem ????

Thanks, use a spray lube on it? I know if hasn't had any in a long time. Next step is to order a manual for it, Things I should know. Ken U Lubed it up sprayed linkage adj throttle all is well.
