I was riding tonight and my machine started to die momentary when driving, it was like the engine turned off and then back on again real fast. This happened about a dozen times during my ride. I checked my DESS plug, my kill switch to make they were ok (just on the trail not in the shop). Has anyone experienced this before? And what could the cause and solution?

TIA

was it really cold? Could it be that your engine was burning down? How was the compression? Otherwise I would suspect something electrical like you did.

if youve been riding in the deep stuff you may have water in the gas. I know when we ride in the mountains i always carry a bottle of isopropyl with me.seems to do the trick,>Runs like crap without it. hope it works for you. Or it could be electrical. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
