ok... seems like it could be electrical...

smells like a snow mobile, sounds like it too. when i tromp the pedal, it has a little power untill it reaches a point where it lugs and feels like its drownding. cant boost it unless theres about 3 batteries on it. i dont even have a clue where to start.

new plugs, new distributer cap, new wires, new alt, and a new battery.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a major timing issue of some kind.

pull the dipstick, see if you have water in the oil.
