I read allot on here before I got my buggy and I thought I knew what I was getting into. I didn't realize it was going to consume my whole life. I think about it all the time. My wife gives me a hard time about me looking at what she calls "go kart porn" every day. If I could just get it "right". I changed the pipe and the carb and got ALLOT more power but I lost it and I'm going out of my mind trying to get it back. My path is washed out and the tractor's broke. My grass is getting tall. I haven't even started my Harley since last summer and my wife is going to kill me if I dont fix the carbs on the waverunner soon. Anybody else have this problem? I might feel better if I know I'm not alone.

It's not the rollers I've been running it without the cover so I can see whats going on back there. I'm thinking my power problem has something to do with my homemade intake. I had to modify it to keep the carb from falling off and it hasn't been the same since. I got a little carried away with the die grinder and now it's a little bigger than the carb. I'm going to take it off and rework it again and see if it helps.

You are not alone Ray. This has consumed the last three years of my spare time and not so spare time life! About 3 0r 4 times a week I hear " You're not on BuggyNews again are you"? I had my old Massey Ferguson 150 almost completely restored when I bought my first buggy, its still in the barn where I left it 3 years ago. I do still ride my Harley but only washed it once last year and so far only once this year. No jet ski to work on but I make sure I change the oil on a particular Acura every three thousand miles in hopes to reduce the amount of times I have to hear" You're not on BuggyNews again are you"?

At least we are not doing something illegal.

Ditto here, my wife told me I was in another world when I have
buggy on the brain. So I made a sign and put in my shop. It
says "Welcome To Buggyville" That's pretty much the town I
live in, if not everyday, at least every other day. But like BigE
said, at least we're not doing anything illegal.

I figured out my power problem and I feel like a jacka$$. I've been fighting this thing for almost two weeks trying to figure out what I did to mess it up. Today I was turning the motor by hand and noticed it was really easy. I adjusted the valves. I had the cvt cover and the carb off so it took about one minute. I put the carb back on and took it for a test drive, problem solved. I didn't mess with anything but the carb and intake so I was concentrating on that. Oh well, maybe I'll sleep better tonight.
