put 200 miles on in two days with no issues. next morning started sled, warmed it up for a few min, went down a straight trail for 4 miles and i was not getting full power. normally i dont use much over half throttle to get up and going 70 and i needed full throttle to get to 70. i wasnt getting that good jump in speed when the rpms were hitting 5-6k as usuall. i checked belt,didnt take off, but looked fine. probably 6oo miles on it. changed the plugs which were dry and white. still didnt seem right but a little better. by the end of my 25 mile ride it seemed to be back to normal. a little water in gas??? could a clutch spring be intermittent in going bad??? i know it still wasnt right rightaway after changing plugs so i dont think that was the problem but it did seem to clear itself up??? thanks for any input, i know it could be like 5 different things...

they were brand new at the beginning of the season and they had about 600 miles on them. i dont recall them being white at all before, always oily. oil consumption seems to be what its been since ive had the sled the last 3 years.... i just looked at the plugs and i shouldnt say white but more like a tan color with a just a hair of whitish color were the tip of the spark plug bends, not were it fires. 3 to 4 threads of the plugs are black aka oily. ill try to post pic but that could be out of my league lol

thanks for the thoughts. both plugs were the same. i toped the sled off 5 different times putting in 3 gallons here, 5 gallons there so who knows about the gas. most was from actual stations, one top off was at a bar??? i think ill dump a can of seafoam in there and see what happens
