Hi. I have a 2006 volunteer 4x4 camo. Over the last year it has been progressively losing power and now is at the point it will barely go up hill. I mean it goes up hill at walking speed. White smoke can be seen from the exhaust too. Runs well flat ground or downhill, but still feels like it's at 50% power. Engine starts fine. Nothing seems really wrong with the motor (no noises or extra noise). Once in a while it will stall if it is in idle for a few minutes. Doesnt seem to have any major issues besides the huge power loss. I'm not smart with mechanic stuff so I don't even know what it could possibly be, but i could probably fix it with instruction if i knew what was wrong. I checked every where online to troubleshoot and no one has this problem. I feel like if I don't fix it now it will die soon or not go up hill at all and be useless on the farm. Please help.
