out riding the X around in the snow last night....on the way in seemed like it lost power.....it is running fine as far as idle and start just does not have the throttle response it had and definately lost top end....any ideas as the kids are bugging me to drag around the sled.....Thanks....Paul

Junk gas? Garbage plugging up the jets? Wrong jetting for the cold?

[tanks350x]

if you aren't running an air box lid, check it to see if it has snow in the air box clogging up the filter

[knsmodels]

Gas is fresh, jetting is the same as I have run every other year in the cold and air box lid is on......there could be junk in the jets I guess......

Even if the air box lid is on, If the snow is powdery and fluffy your filter will look like a snowball. Last year I was pounding drifts with the 250R and paddles and in less than an hour It would barely run, sucked the fluffy snow right down the frame from the steering stem air inlets.

took the airfilter off and cleaned it all up....still the same....took the kids out and it was like I could get no more than 1/4 throttle.....

[RodKnockRacing]

could be jets also check your electrical could be the ground

[Erics350x]

It could be a number of things. Have you checked the timing? What about the throttle? Gas cap vent?

[knsmodels]

thnx guys I will check out some of these things tomorrow as I had no time today...

[oscarmayer]

if it;'s that cold and nor jetted correctlyt that could be your issue. also check your mixture screw sometimes adjusthign that in the cold weather helps.
