Well basin off of the 4-7 days of testing the TNT out, there was some plusses and minuses. The sled ran, it moved, and looked good, thats about it. You know it all seemed to go down hill after i needed to run new gas threw it, right after that point it ran like crap. So like I mentioned earlier this season, the sled kept popping, and i realized it was popping bc the ignition wire was grounding on the y-pipe. So that fixed the shutting off. But the sled still ran 10mph and I had to let off the throttle just right to keep it at a good rev. I really think its the carb, I think it needs a cleaning and its getting backed up. But I been trying like hell to get someone around town to clean it but no one knows anything about the old carbs, but i bet if they tried they could do it, i really dont want the sled in their shops anyway. I been trying to get it fixed now ecspecially since there has been no snow fall. Maybe I should just try and do it myself, then again i wouldnt wanna risk that, and even if i did clean it right, what if that aint even the problem. I also remember the pipe was leaking alot of oil where the pipes exited out from the engine.
