sled dieing while climbing

[grimrock]

hi i have a 08 rmk 600 iq ho and last year while climbing in the moutains after i would get so far it would just die
i didnt really check it out was having such a blast being the first time out there
any way when i climb it runs great then will just die i am curious if any one has had any simler problems
when its about to die i turn out an sometimes will stay running if i let off quick but if it dies on my way down if i pull it, it usually takes 1-2 pulls an fires up?

It could be a partially plugged fuel filter so the sled is starving for fuel when you have it pinned for a long time when climbing. Or it could be a weak fuel pump too.

I noticed you have vf3 reeds in the engine. Depending on when you bought them Vforce has an update (spacer kit) for their reeds in this engine. There was not enough clearance in the intake and the reeds were blocking the impulse line port causing the sled to starve on prolonged WOT pulls. My sled was doing the exact same thing last year, installed the spacers over the summer, sled runs perfect now! Call Vforce, the spacer kit is free 603-298-6646. Good luck
