I have a 2014 Buddy 170i with about 1400 miles on it. Recently, when I accelerate from a dead stop, the acceleration stutters like there is air in the line or a blockage or some sort. Is this just a fuel filter issue? Or is there anything else I should check? Thanks.

First thing I would check is your clutch.

Second thing I would check is your variator.

Somewhere in between, I would check your belt.

Poor acceleration

It could be as simple as a bad tank of gasoline, especially if it's been sitting a while and you don't fill up the tank every couple of weeks. I would think it is ready for a valve adjustment. Never heard of CVT problems at that low mileage. Hope you sort it out,
