i just got my 83 or 84 artic cat el tigre 5000 out cuz we findly got some snow. well once i got gas to it started in only like 5 pulls. well then i put the new belt on and it seamed to tite, and it made the whole track turn so i blocked it up to start and i finnly got it to start so i tried to go ride it but all it did was bogg. So i take the belt off and run it. it works great just like normal, but with the belt it just boggs. when i ran it last last year it worked fine with the old belt but it was one i got from a buddy that kinda worked but not the greatest. cuz i snaped the old one. the original belt is a 0227-030 which was on it when i bought it, and the one i got from a buddy after i snaped the first one was a 0227-019 that is not the original. so i went to the dealer and they ordered me the one which there computor says is supposed to be on there and it was the 0227-30 and with it on it just boggs. any idea its not the pluggs, fuel filter, or gas. idk if it needs a carb clean or the clutch needs adjusted and how much do the belts streech after u use them for a little while.


thanks:

the 0227-019 just smokes its to narrow now
