Before I go tear into it maby I could get some ideas from some of you guys.It bogs on the low end and it backfires when I let off the throttle.It just started doing it over the winter.It runs great once it gets going can still whoop my buddies grizz.The snow is gone now so I figured it would be a good time to dust off the V and put the prairie in my shop and figure this out.I have some ideas just thought I would get a few more to cover all the bases.thanks

 

my bets are on the carb sliders.... Been there done that! When it bogs and stalls use the pull start to start it.

 

It starts fine and it doesnt stall it just sputters when I jab it to 5-8mph then runs fine,then it backfires when I let off.thanks for the reply

 

The first thing I would do is change the spark plugs.

 

The plugs are not that old 100 mi or so but I was going to do that first.thank you for the reply

 

Sounds like lean pilot jets. Possibly needles.

 

mine did the same thing once.the airbox was full of dogfood(possibly by mice).also check your oil, could be a little gas mixed in from not always shutting the gas off.hope this helps.

 

BOGER... 1st, try draining the float bowls... read the plugs... look to see that your air filter is clean & not over oiled... make sure the gas tank vent lines are free flowing ( this just happend to MIKEYBOY )... make sure that the Dial-a-jet snorkles are OK... from reading your list of mods, I'll not bother typing out the obvious...

 

thanks for the reply guys,sorry ive been gone since wed.Im going out there right now to tear into it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
