Carb question

Sounds like a carb problem to me. Depending on the temp where you are, If it was warmer than usually riding conditions, its going to be slugish as most sleds are jetted for -20 factory. If it was warm it could have been a combination of fouled plugs, a plugged up main jets that caused it too leaner and run good and then completely plugged, or plugged up pilots will make it not want to idle, and pilots plug up easy. I would search around and find a post about cleaning them, its really not hard at all and should be done yearly as preseason maintenance.

Basically just unscrew slide caps and remove slide assembly from carb(without adjusting cable nuts on top). Then unhook the fuel and vaccuum lines remembering which one went where. Once the carbs are free simply drain the bowl(dont even have to, but a lot cleaner) and then remove the bowl cover. Then clean both the pilot jet and main jets with carb cleaner and compressed air. Make sure all the passages are clean as well.

It may be easier if you havent done it before to remove one at a time, that way you wont be as confused as which hose or line connects where.

Oh yea, make sure you clean the carb throat and bowl itself, basically all internals, that way you wont just suck up more varnish(gunk) into the jets right away.
