the motor tends to load up and smoke alot if its not wide open.. i put the stock jets back in the carbs from when it had triple pipes on it and cleaned them. is there more adjustments that could be changed.. im not to good with carbs, only know how to clean them lol. and also whet through a full tank of oil with little over one tank of gas.. i know thats not right. just bought the sled for my girlfriend and shes not wide open like i would be so it loads up alot..

thanks for any ideas

OK. Make sure the cable is not pulling the oil pump wide open when you turn hard. I put a 2 in riser on last year and started using alot of oil, even though most have no problem, my cable was pulling the pump open when I turned hard. I added Mountain Max cables this year and oil consumption is back to normal.
