Carb jetting 2002 polaris 600 edgex

Interesting comments on the 600 motors in MI. Both my 2000 and 2005 600's came stock with 440's which work great at sealevel. The 2000 had been changed to 410's when I bought it. The jetting chart for the 2005 also says to use 410's for MI altitude so those have been switched too.
The 2005 with the 440's ran very fat, plugs almost black and very doggy. Runs much better with the 410's and plugs are a nice tan.
I have read other threads on here with guys running 400 mains in MI with stock motor and airbox, but that would seem to be on the edge of too lean.....
Are you really saying you run 440 mains in a Pol 600 motor in MI with great results? Just seems hard to believe based on my experiences -

I can only comment on the sleds I have owned which were a 2001 xc700, a 2002 xc600, and a 2004 600 classic and I left them all with the original jetting from the factory. All my riding is done at an altitude for the most part between 600 and 1000 feet above sea level and they have all been great running sleds for me and ran strong with no problems and no meltdowns. They may have been a bit on the fat side but I prefer them that way anyway. I dont want to be out on a cold 5 degree day and do a wot pull across the lake and burn a hole in a piston. I always preferred a richer set up with a two stroke as they count heavily on that extra gas and oil for lubrication of the lower end as well as up top. They probably would have been a little snappier if they were leaned up a bit but I was happy with the way they ran stock for sure.
snowchick - what do you mean air tubes removed? did you gut the air box?? I thought when you gutted the box, you have to richen the mixture up.
The only real problem I was having was at idle, feels like I have that fixed now, I check and clean the exhaust valves every 1,000 miles, I use amsoil intercepter, the valves have very little build up, and very easy to clean, not like when I used to use polaris oil
thanks for help guys

sorry for the delayed response. i took out the tubes only in the air box. i left the plastic plate in place. i had brown paper bag plugs and never fouled out a set of plugs. i usually rode about 1500 miles a season and used the same set the whole season. i used interceptor as well. cleaned exhaust valves every 1000 miles. last season i switched to the amsoil hp with out any problems.
