So I installed the tether on my artic cat, and once I put all back together it runs good but sometimes seems to bog and not have that full top end power ? I took off the hood and made sure the air box is tight it ran a bit better but still not 100 percent, what else could I look for ?

Check that you didn't pinch the power valve cables or cause binding somewhere.

They come out of the servo motor and run around to the power valves on the exhaust side. I don't have pictures and don't feel like pulling apart my sled. Have a look at the online parts diagrams for your sled and you should be able to track them down.

Gas shouldn't be an issue unless you got some bad premium.

Ok that all looks good I think it was some bad gas as it's running better and I took a look at the belt and it's super losse,

Mine was only getting 6300 rpms , did it periodically and slowly got worse, a combination of the pic and my power valves , will have er back together next Friday but pretty sure , the reeds are fawked and the valves were definatly sticking
