Hey Guys, I have tried searching, but ca't find much on this. I have an 01' 800 HM and started it up for the first time in 6 months today. It started great and runs great at idle. The problem I am hiving is that when I give it throttle, the engine revs up and retards. I have the track off the ground with a stand. I checked the park brake and it's not set. I checked the track and can spin the track by hand, as well as the clutches both spin. I don't know what my next steps would be? Any help would be greatly appreciated

It acts like it has a rev limiter.

Try twisting your tether a bit. They sometimes don't make good contact and the D.E.S.S. won't let it rev up. This happens to me sometimes. I give it a little twist and all is good.
