Hey guys. I tried searching my problem but I was not finding issues that were the same as mine. I have a 2010 Assault 800. While riding today the engine started bogging a bit, then it started to cut in and out. Almost like hitting a rev limiter. Then Finally it would die. Nothing dramatic, similar to if you hit the kill switch accidentally. If I fired it back up right away it would bog under throttle (not engage the belt) and die. I opened it up and changed the plugs. They were a little gross but not terrible. I changed them anyway. Fired it back up and with in a minute or so same issue. I let it sit for a while and started it back up. It ran for a little while and then same issue. It seems once it warms up it starts acting up. The dash display and headlight seem to cut out too when this issue arises. Even when its up in the RPMs and is not bogging or cutting in and out the display and light are out. I am thinking volt regulator or stator at the this point but I am not the best mechanic when it comes to diagnosing engine issues. Any advice is much appreciated.
