    sled runs like garbage - intake backfire?

    Sled's a 99 Polaris XC 700. Sled takes off fine, no bogginess whatsoever. The minute i let off the throttle, it gargles and sounds like an intake backfire. I rode like it all day. Plugs look good. I even put in new plugs halfway thru the ride. Could it be the diaphragm in the fuel pump? Or...

    My plugs look lean

    It's a 99 XC 700. Stock jetting is 190 mag and 185 pto and i'm running 190 on both sides. They don't look super scary lean but a lot leaner then i'd like. When i let off the throttle, it kinda makes a puffing sound (almost like a super mini-backfire, this sound is really hard to explain). But...

    Slight bog issue

    Figured i might as well just ask before the snow flies. I figure it just needs new fuel run thru it and possibly a new fuel filter... but... this is about my 99 poo xc 700. I start it up, idles fine and whatnot. I give it some gas, doesn't bog at all, but when i let up on the throttle, it bogs...

    Electrical wire running to the throttle assembly on a 91 phazer?

    Me and acatzl550 were working on a 91 phazer. We broke off this electrical wire that was connected to the throttle. We didn't possibly think it could've done anything, so we put it back together and started it up. It ran, but wouldn't idle at all. So, we sat and tried adjusting the throttle to...

    What do you guys think?

    I know this should go in tech talk but it seems like misc. gets 10 times the views. I took off my y-pipe to put new exhaust manifold gaskets on and this is what i found. It's the mag side piston. Still has 125 psi along with the pto side cylinder having 125 psi.
