HEY! WE HAVE SOME SNOW... GOT THE SLED OUT,92 MODEL 550 EXT, STARTED NICE, IDLE GOOD, NOW WHEN I HOLD THE THROTTLE AT AN UPPER RPM SHE JUST ACT'S LIKE I'M NOT GETTING THE GAS, JUST HAD NEW NEEDLE AND SEATS, PLUGS, JETS ARE 330'S... WHEN I HIT THE HAMMER SHE LAUNCHES LIKE A BULLET THEN SEEMS TO JUST ACT LIKE IT'S STARVING. ANY ANSWERS?

Are the main jets clean? *Be careful not to burn it down...

just tuned one of these after someone else played with it. *I found that the oil pump was real lean and the slides were not opening up all the way at full throttle. *Check to make sure that the slides open all the way and that the sled is not jetted to lean on the main jets this could be also why. *Also the main jets cold of rattle right out. *Have had that happen so the led has no power from 3/4 to wide open. *Good luck

THEN AGAIN COMING BACK THE SLED STARTS SHUTTERING AS IF IT'S STARVING FOR GAS, THE MECHANIC THINKS MAYBEE IT'S ELECTRICAL?
