just dealt with one there is a service bullitin by polaris the air breather tube that goes up by the gas tank is probably sucking to the gas tank and blocking the air off. It needs to be took off and cut at an angle to where it cant suck to the gas tank. i think that shoud be the first thing you should look at. And those 335s wont run right without the breather cove on and sealed right. Hope this helps.

does it run good except when you start getting into it into a pull my friends ran great at idle and nearly halfway throught the throttle but when you started to need a little mor power for a pull it would just bog down.

It runs great for several miles at all speeds from idle to full throttle, then for unknown reasons it'll just start bogging down to where you have to keep "feathering" the throttle to keep it going

is it flooding out or starving for gas? did you make sure the air filter is good and not being blocked as well as all the vent lines? when it does it next time try removing the gas cap to se if its under presure as well. did you make sure to set the float level correct when the carb was redone? just a few ideas.
