Default very low idle -- sportsman 700 efi

Does anyone know why my sp700 efi might have an extremely low idle? I haven't changed anything, but it has started idling very low (700-800 rpms). Occasionally, it will cut off and need a little bit of throttle to stay running. I purchased it in late 2005 as a 2006 model.

thoughts or ideas ?

Take the rubber boot off that goes to your throttle body and look into the TB...You might have a grime buildup in the TB...especially if you have been in dusty conditions.......Take some 3M throttle plate cleaner and clean the TB and butterfly.Let us know how you make out....

Yeh, I think that would be a very good Idea, I would put a stock paper filter back on, or a Foam Uni
