i got a 95 formula z 583
i keep fouling up spark plugs... can anyone help me here.. i can run for like 1/2 tank of gas and then it boggs out and almost stalls out.... and if i swap the plugs it runs great.. is there a different spark plug i should try? i have BR9ES in there right now
also.. if the motor gets to warm.. will that cause it to bogg out?
please help ASAP
thanks

Are you gapping the plus at .016" ~ .018". Do not allow the engine to idle for long periods of time except for warm up. Make sure your needle clips are on position #3 and your air screws are at 1 turn out after lightly seated.

Untill the cylinder head is hot to touch.

I can't help you there !!!

Needles are in the throttle slides under the threaded caps on the tops of the carbs(better leave that part to an experienced mechanic or you might find yourself with a runaway sled)[/b]
The idle screws are on the RH rear of the carbs angled upward (as seen sitting on the seat) they are brass in colour and should be closed very carefully and set at 1 turn out (counter clockwise) with the engine off. One turn out is simply a starting point you may need to play with the +/- 1/4 turn to achieve a smooth idle (max rpm)

After a ride, what colour are the spark plugs? Really black, brown, or a lighter colour?
Im assuming the oil injection is still hooked up and your not pre mixing? Have you noticed any excessive, oil use?

Are both plugs fouling? that would be odd in my opinion... My wifes 583 fouled the left plug steady when I bought it. had BOTH carbs cleaned and adj. by dealer and never another problem.

I had one of those and sometimes a good dose of isypropyl would stop this problem

Check to make sure both the carbs are synchronized. Meaning that both throttle flaps open at the same time. This could be exactly what your problem may be. I had the same concern with my sled and one of the screws holding the throttle flaps to the synchronizer shaft was loose. I tightened it up and snowmobiling season was back in action. Hope this helped you out.
