So I'm sure you guys are as sick of me asking questions about this sled as I am but I've got another problem. I had it running great after the help you guys gave me last week. We got some fresh snow and it drove pretty well. Had some clutching issues and I order a new drive belt due to some slippage. I went out to show it to a friend and it started right up but wouldn't smooth out or idle without throttle input. Then it just wouldn't open up. The only way to keep it running was at full throttle and it did what it's doing in the video I linked. Also seemed really rich. I'm out town for the beginning of the week so I haven't had a chance to look into it. I was just wondering if this was a problem seen before. Thanks guys!

Check for proper slack in choke plunger. Replace it if it is really old.

That was part of the problem before. I adjusted it but I'm wondering if it might be hanging up now. I will look into that when I get back home. The Trailfires do not have a rev limiter like the Liquifires do, correct?

Re: Trailfire won't rev...
Correct, they do not. A suggestion with the choke cable, Check the slack with the dash down. It makes a difference.

Re: Trailfire won't rev...
It was a choke cable issue. The plastic boot that covers the cable connection to the carb is gone and some ice built up in the choke port. Thanks for the help. Been really busy but I've been able to have a little fun with the sled.
Re: Trailfire won't rev...
Can you tell me what is the proper adjustment for the choke cable.
