We just got hit with a couple feet here in VT and I tried to take the Mach Z out for a ride during the storm. It ran ok for a short while then started bogging and backfiring. The hood vents were closed, and I changed out the plugs without much improvement. I assume this is from snow getting into the air intake. Will I be able to ride tomorrow or do I have to thaw out the sled somehow. I keep it in an unheated barn and I'm not sure if I can get it warm enough in there to melt any snow. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

You will need to thaw it out and then get some pre-filter material that repels snow to cover the foam on the intake on the outside of the hood on the left side, mine plugged up big time in deep powder, the filter material works great, there is someone selling it on this site I think
