Seems my old mans 1996 ET410II has develop a problem where it won,t idle after its been warmed up(Just dies).Changed the fuel,installed new plugs with no luck.Got a new set of plug caps coming but I wonder if its the coil(spark is weak,blue color?).Ran this sled a few days ago breaking trail(Finally got snow:letitsnow,and snowing like a SOB now) where it ran fine but if I let it idle it would die out(and have to wait an hour before it would start again).Any suggestions(TORS,stator,etc)

fuel filter? fuel pump? I did both of those last year on mine and it fixed the stupid idle I was having at the time.
 
Well I disconnect the TORS,no dice.Then cleaned under the plugs caps,no luck.Then I took a heat gun(on low setting)and heated the fuel pump a little.After that I mange to get it going but still the same.Well I said F**G it and I took the sled for a 10minute run giving it big shots of gas(Building up heat under the bonnet).After I can back I let it idle down,giving it little shots of gas to keep it on life support.Then all of a sudden it give a burp,and the idling return to normal.Even started up fine after I shut it of.Lesson learned never leave a sled outside on a frosty night with only a 1/2 tank of fuel.Seems these carbs like a lot of heat in order to work properly.
