Default 2004 600 Sportsman starts sputtering!!!!!!!!

Hey guys,

My 04 600 sometimes just randomly starts missing. Yesterday I was trail riding and it was doing great, then it started missing when I pressed the gas. If I let up, it would idle just fine. I had to put the choke on just to get it out of the woods, after I got back to the truck, it started running smooth again. It did this once and I used some sea foam in the gas, hoping it would clear it up and it did work. If it got to hot would this cause this problem, I noticed some gas in my over flow tube also.

Thanks in advance for any help.

did you check to make sure the etc is set correctly. if not set at about 1/8" it sometimes kick the overide on causing it to not want to run beyond idle. just a thought.

yes it is. it prevents the bike from running say if the throtle was stuck wide open.
