Brian,
I'm using a K & N filter on the 582 Rotax on my Renegade. I started losing
power with a commensurate decrease in exhaust gas and cylinder head
temperatures. Then I started experiencing "hiccups". It turned out to be the
filter. It looked perfectly clean, but the oil had congealed to where it was
severely restricting the air flow, and I was running more than rich.
Try cleaning and re-oiling your air filter. It might make your problem go
away.
Please let us know what you do find: it may make it easier for one of us to
solve a similar problem in the future.
