We have a 2000 Venture that has been doing some strange things for a couple years now.
First, when starting the sled it will fire right up, as soon as it fires the choke goes off. The sled idles great for about 1-2 minutes then the rpms slowly drop until she shuts off. The sled will then only stay running without getting on the throttle if it is taken for a run and is really warmed up. When you first take off after being cold it does smoke quite a bit and bogs, it will clear up quickly then run fine.
Also, if the sled idles in one spot for more then 5-10 seconds it leaves a pretty decent black mark in the snow coming from the muffler.
Any ideas? Plugs are good. Carbs were cleaned not to long ago. Seafoam has been run through and there was no change.
