hi,i own a 1998 polaris 488 indy transport, it has 4500 miles on it, it bogs out cold, good when warm, dealer told me they are all like that, it seems a bit worse this year ???? the oly additive i ever put in was sea foam. did not help., also sled has been doing this since new.

Check to see if your chokes are opening when you pull the lever up.

when i pull lever up, chokes come on???? which seem to work fine,

 

[smallengineguy]

Did you actually remove the choke plungers to see if they are moving?

 

[kccats]

Did you clean the carbs EVERY season?

 

[gassed]

have not checked plungers and have not cleaned carbs,cause sled has been good to me, this problem goes back to the day i purchased it new.

 

[smallengineguy]

I'll bet if you take the plungers out, one isn't working correctly.
