Answer
Hello Mike,

  Sounds like it needs it's carbs cleaned real good. You might want to go ahead and put new jets in it too. Pay special attention to the inlet needle and seats, they are one of the biggest problems on sleds that have sat. Carb cleaning can be frustrating at times, so here is a manual you may find helpful: http://www.snowmobilefanatics.com/articles/default.asp?cid=2&aid=13  .  Also, if the sled has a fuel filter, it would be ideal to replace it. You can get most parts for the sled at http://216.37.204.202/Skidoo_OEM/skidoo.asp  .  I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck with the sled! --Arcticatman
