Here's the story, I'm not quite sure what to check next.....
The sled ran great, right until my kid hit a tree with it. He didn't hit too hard, just enough to bend the belly pan, kink the muffler and tweak the Y-pipe a little bit. New exhaust, fixed bellypan and new Y-Pipe. Sleds still starts in 3-4 pulls and idles great, but boggs when moving forward. It only will go a few miles an hour. The engine also does not stall out. Tore the carb apart thinking the main jet was clogged which it didn't appear so. Recleaned it anyway and blew air through all the passages with no problems. I've also blew my shop vac through the new muffler in both directions thinking it may be clogged but vacuum and blowing air passes through it fine. I've also changed the plugs out.
Any other ideas on this? My only other thought was the primary was engaging too soon but i didn't have any problem with it before.
Thanks.

Sounds like something is bound up in the primary or alignment is off. Hit a few trees myself.
