I have a 1997 Mxz440 fan. It has been sitting for about 1.5 years. The reason it was sitting was the pipe gotted bent from an accident. I got a pipe from a 1997 mxz440 liquid cooled. Sit almost perfecty, but a little exhaust escaping at the top and a little louder. Anyways, I drained all the gas and put fresh stuff in. Here is the problem. It starts up and idles fine. However when I take off it bogs out and dies until I put the choke on. The it takes off and rips, runs great and has lots of power. When I let off the gas it just bogs out again and I have to flip the choke off, it gets going, but wont run without the choke on again. It will idle without it though and I need to keep flipping it on and off? Any ideas, other than that the sled still goes great, it will idle fine without dying with choke on or off.

why post this in two forums, especially when there is forum specifically for this stuff

I posted it under Skidoo first, but thought I would get more responses if I put it under general. I was thinking that people with different sleds mave have run into the same issue before.

you may want to check your jetting, factory settings usually are 1 or maybe 2 sizes too rich. not sure about the X pipe on the fan (if you will lose power or not since the LC motor has a lot more power.

Make sure that's jetted right. You can get the jetting specs from the pipe manufacturer. Should have it checked by a mechanic. Sounds like carburation.
