After about 15 min. Of riding around the yard, the engine would start to bog. The carb would start to ice around the outside. Another 15 minutes and it would barely move. I had to pull it in the garage and hit it with a hair dryer. Is there any way to solve this problem? It was in deep snow and about 15F. The airbox was removed by po and there is a kn pod filter.
 

take the pod filter off and find an air box, they are better for keeping the snow dust out. as for dealing with the ice, i used to know guys who would pee on the carb throat on the side of a trail :letitsnow
 
or you can get an outerwears filter cover for that filter. stops the snow dust and water from getting into the motor through the intake.

Is 'outerwears' a brand name. I think I'll put that on it because my sled doesn't smell to enticing anymore. I had asparagus for dinner.
 
You are supposed to ride on top of the powder instead on down it LOL. Yep the outerwear material works great, you can also just get the material and make your own too if you are handy (or know someone who is). Those Enticers sure are a blast in the powder and you don't even have to leave the back yard.

Not sure what asparagus does, but I will stay well clear !!!
