newbie question

I was given a 92 formula plus 580? ski-doo. It had not been run since 96 and had 800 miles on it. I cleaned out the carbs, new fuel pump and spark plugs and it fired right up. However, it seems to be running rich and it floods out bad. It runs great with a lot of throttle / accelerating but at a stead speed seems to run poorly. I know nothing about carb adjustments and would really appreciate some insight.

Thanks

Rich

I cleaned my carbs and still had a problem, I found I didnt do a good enough job blowing out the holes and my air mixture port was still clogged and jets still had gunk in them, after the second cleaning making sure I didnt miss anything my problems were solved
