actually a snowmobile but i think you could help. really cold here lately, sled is a bit hard starting. occassionaly when engaging the throttle or stopping, it dies. starts back up and idles smooth. just a stalling and a little backfire...think my carb is dirty/icy?

sounds liek maybe you have to richen up the mixture or set the idle higher.

i hate 2cycles! My race kart engines were always a major fucking pain. They like to run one way only--wide open. Unfort. u prob need to take apart and clean but try easy shit first.

 

[Lumberg]

2 cycle? You mean 2-stroke?

I dunno much about 2-strokes, just how they work. Never worked on one.

Yes. Some people refer to them as 2cycle. He's prob. got an old rochester or the like.

it's a two stroke twin...98 polaris indy 700

if it stalls when i throttle it, does that mean not enough gas is getting to my carb?

 

[SoKlueles]

my car does that when i dont put the middle grade gas in it
could u need to put higher grade gas in it?

running on premium, though i think the octane is too high. have you ever been snowmobling before? gawd damn, what a good time

 

[Testosterone boy]

I would guess that someone monkeyed with the carburetor trying to get more performance out of it. Also sounds like a lack of octane....my boat does that when some bastard gas station slips regular into the premium holding tank.

Find a good Polaris mechanic....snowmobile engines are a bit specialized though also used on small aircraft to some extent.

You may just have some old gasoline causing this problem. Very well could just be the gas.

 

[Testosterone boy]

Could also be the timing.

Look at the plugs....they always tell a story. Could have the worng type of plugs in it.

Any number of things really.

Could get a tune up and see what happens.
