  • Brand new 2021 Argo 6x6

    Need help with my brand new Argo , it’s a 2021 Argo 6x6 vanguard with 2 hours on it

    The issue is when driving it looses power and wants to bog and will only top out at 27 where when I first got it couple months ago would be go full power and get up to around 47.

    Again this is a brand new machine with 2 hours on it .

    Any help is very appreciated!

      I'm guessing that's in Kilometers per hour= about 28 or so mph.

        Perhaps you simply pressed the km/mph button and switched it, try to find the km setting and see if it goes back near where you were.

                Is this a carb model ? You may have bad fuel in it

                  Run a bottle of stabil quick engine fix threw it. Made my 2021 6x6 run great. Was surging and idling sporadic. That fixed it.

                    You may have gotten some water in the fuel. Very common and easy to happen. I find the same symtoms in snowblowers.It may work itself through but if it continues you may have to drain the tank, carb, if equipped, fuel lines etc. The engines seem to run better on a higher octain rated fuel. Most of them have less or no ethanol. Check your fuel source, in my case,gas can, for contaminants.

                      I would take it back to the dealer cost way to much to have problems already you have not even run a full tank of gas yet have you?

                        This sounds like another ethanol fuel issue. These fuels start degrading after 30 days, and the bad fuel will cause the symptoms you mentioned.
                        I run my machines about an hour a month, even in the off season. I add startron fuel stabilizer to the fuel as well. Since I've followed this practice my machines all run as designed and I've had no issues.

                        I would remove the fuel that is in the tank, and shoot some carb or throttle body cleaner in (depends on if you have a carb or fuel injection). Change the fuel filter, and get some fresh gas and I bet you resolve the issue.

                          I have had great luck using Chevron Techtron gas cleaner. I use it in all my small engines that sit in the Winter when I fire them up in the Spring and it cleans them right out.
