i am completely new to snowmobiling and i bought a 2000 srx 700 and i am having issues . when i bought it hardly ran. i cleaned carbs and now it runs , starts on first pull. idles at 3000 to 3400 , needle on rpm waggles back and forth between those two numbers. when i give it gas it wants to bog down. the carbs were cleaned by a yamaha buff and everything was set to factory settings. sled has 1300 miles on it (i think it set outside for quit a few years. not bad shape. prev owner was 70 years old and i think neglected it). i messed with idler screw but does not seem to matter were it is it runs the same. i hate when i cant fiqure out something and when i found this site i was excited to post my question. my compression is 132 on all 3 which made me feel good but now i dont know what to do. what is proper idle on this sled and should the needle be bouncing around like that?
