After cleaning carbs and changing plugs sled ran great, then after riding down a road with considerble snow coverage it started to run hot and backfire, took it into deeper snow and had no problem. Went a few more miles temp light came on and really started to run bad, put another set of plugs in and it didnt help. Runs terrible at idle and runs ok under power but not great. Ihave a rear heat exchanger. I did not bleed the system and it was low on ani-freeze. I was wondering if I may have some internal damage after all of this. Any advice would be helpful. You could call me at 419-708-6695.

It doesn't sound good... I'd start with a compression test. What did the old plugs look like? Any metal or closed gaps?
