My 300 ( '14 te300 , same bike as an XCW KTM ) rips for a bit in the deep then loads up and will grind to a stop. Gotta let it sit before I get it to run again, seems like its loaded up.
It gets overly warm on the trail ( new to snowbikes so not sure how normal this is ) likes to run 200+ degrees.
I'm running a snorkel type intake, I don't think its the intake design unless the added air flow has me running lean.
Jetting now:
AS 1 turn out
Needle tried 1 2 4 seems to not help ( seemed best at 4 )
170mj
Summer
AS 2 turns needle 1 (top)
162mj
Now being so new to the snowbike is this icing causing the bike to choke out and quit on me? I have a loop of copper pipe around the inlet of the carb T-d off the temp sensor fitting right at the head.... not as good of contact as a carb heater but puts out heat. The carb is also diapered in the material used for engine blankets to help keep the snow off and the heat in.
