Make sure the air screws are out 1 turn from lightly seated too.

Did you ever try syncing the carbs on your FIL's sled?

Replaced the fuel pump last night and can't even get it to start now. Might need a GTG to figure this out.

Yeah, that's how it goes I suppose.

I haven't touched my sled yet. Still have that arctic crap in the garage.

Wow, a whole 4" of snow. This sure has been a disappointment of a winter, especially compared to last year.
