epic 21 intermittant slight loss of power
« on: July 14, 2012, 04:15:33 am »
took out the epic today and noticed that while driving it there would be a temporary loss of power.  then after a couple seconds it would kick back in.  intermittant.  think it might just be a plug issue but berfore i change them wonder if there are any ideas out there.  it isnt a total loss of power just like it pulled the throttle back a little then back on

fouling plugs or bad gas would be my guess. Have you replaced the fuel filter lately?

I'd try the plugs first.

I'd agree most likely plugs. I would clean the MAF sensor too , cheap and easy.

swapped the plugs and all looks good.  2nd set in 3 years only maybe 40 hours.  oh well that is why i had a spare set
