Took the sled for a rip and I cant get any more than 6000rpm out of it. Also, i was climbing a hill and it powered out, still had rpms but wouldnt pull itself. The fastest it would go was about 60kmh. Pulled the carbs apart, set the secondary clutch, and cleaned the rave valves and it still is acting up. I tested the compression cold and both cylinders are 115psi. Any ideas?

There is a almost brand new comet clutch on it. It ran fine after the comet clutch was installed but last season it started acting up.

I would suspect that primary clutch is binding or the weights are too big. If you ran it last year and it was fine, then a thorogh cleaning of the primary is a good place to start.
