ZRT Problems!!

**WildZRT** · 12-19-2008, 08:51 AM

I have a 2001 Zrt 600 and am having a problem with it. When im going kinda slow and not on the gas real hard it cuts out. Its like it wants to die but has never completly shut down. If i hit the gas or am going fast it does not do it. It kinda feels like the kill switch gets bumped real quick, I know thats not whats happing but thats what it feels like. The sled idles great and doesnt miss a beat. Its just when im going slow and at low rpm's. So if anyone has any idea or has had this problem before can you please help me out.
Thanks

I think i fixed it guys. I unpluged my kill switch and it seems to be running right. So i guess ill just go without a kill switch.

I'd get the part and fix it. They don't put a kill switch on a sled for the heck of it, lol.

It is a good thing to have. May be something with the switch you can fix make sure it not stuck on that kinda thing.
Mine broke on my XT went out and got one off ebay (*cough unfortunetly haven't installed it in the last 3 years *cough)

Haha yeah ill get around to it sometime. I guess there is some Throttle Safety Switch and it is a common thing for the bushing's to go bad and cause this problem. Im just glad it wasnt anything real big.

Always good when its something simple.

Heck today i got to take the DX on its first real ride since i got it.
Well the side panel was hanging down a little and it was scooping snow up, next thing i know i am only getting up to 20 and running 7-8k, All types of things cross your mind when ya see that. Pull up to the garage and lift the hood and about fell over laughing, Should have taken a pic, i had snow surrounding the secondary.

Talk about a relief.
