Here is the deal. I cleaned the powervalves, and carbs on my wifes 2001 Polaris XCSP600 Edge. After doing so I started the sled up but it just didn't seem to run right. It was fairly warm when I first did this so I was assuming it was just running rich. So I just replaced the sparkplugs and it is a bit colder out today, around 45-50, so I started it back up. When I blip the throttle when it revs from about 1200 rpm to about 1800 rpm it seems that it is misfiring and reving really slow until it hits about 1800 rpm and then it smoothes out. When it warmed up for a few minutes it was less noticable. I'm thinking maybe it is just dumping too much fuel and it can't burn it all? Then I tried putting the choke on to see if that would make it worse and it totally did. It then would barely even run. I did notice that it was starting to backfire at one point as well.
Do you think that something could be messed up from when I cleaned the Powervalves or the carbs? Could it be that one of the gaskets on the carbs got twisted and is letting in some air? Or, do you just think that it is running rich and as the motor heats up it gets better? Or is it a characteristic of this motor? I did notice that last winter it took a while for this sled to idle and run right when compared to my Rev.
Any thoughts?
