Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking. If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing. -

All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations. -

How old is your belt? My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year. Changed the belt and that problem went away. -

Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases. Primary is significantly worn. I replaced several rollers and pins which helped. I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install. It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting. Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches. Thanks for the ideas. -

Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his. This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances. -

In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller. Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle? -
