I put the 800 header and snorkel on my 700 and now it will bog when you try to get on the gas hard it dont do it every time but when it does it is bad I mean really bad!!!! i took the snorkel off and it still does it not the 800 snorkel the snorkel kit i made for water riding. so do i need to get more air or more fuel ?

first you need to fill out your profile so we can see what machine you have, a carb model or an efi model...

almost always when you snorkel and put an 800 header on a 700, it will be lean, if you have a carb model, go richer on your main jet, you may also have to adjust needle position (install a dynojet kit to make it easy or possible) and maybe air mixture settings..

sorry about that dont know how to to that (the profile) i have a 06' 700 efi with the highlifter 2" lift and 29.5" outlaws with the new style heelclicker, maroon sec. spring and the .20 flywheel key and the lowes snorkel kit

I've read your post 3 times and I still don't understand what you did or if it stopped when you did something.

What's the lowe's snorkel kit?

Lowes snorkle kit. LOL I think he means he put a home made snorkle kit on with plastic pipe he got from Lowes. Lean or rich pull a plug and look. If you just did the 800 snorkle and exhaust I'd say lean, but with the Lowes kit ???????????

I had thought that Lowes was also meant in this case
700twin , Just something to compare to , but when I first got my 02 700 I experimented with taking lid or snorkle off air box and the same problem , I couldnt go over 25mph w/out terrible bogging ,so I left everything stock for 5 yrs. untill now where Im running a 40mm carb but I would say your lean

I'd be willing to bet you tore your carb adapter. I'd check that first. This is the rubber intake between the carb and cylinder head.

Ah yes Cajun That happened to mine some time ago and I just figuared it out. Seems to be a fairly common prob. on early models

i have a 700 efi and i put the 800 header and the 800 air intake on it when you go from a stop to wot it boggs very bad almost bad enough to shut the engine down this occurs at about 15 mph and about 4,000 rpm's i have un hooked the lowe's snorkel (it is a home made kit to go in the deep mud and water) and i still have the bog the bog did not start till i put the i put the 800 header andair intake on it

He has EFI. I told him to take the header down and look inside for a indication of if it is running lean or rich cuz they can feel similar.
Also like quad daddy said a spark plug also would show these signs but I think the exhaust will provide better insite to the actual micture. It should very obvious.

Ok when you say air intake, I think you are trying to say you changed the snorkel off the air box, is this correct? I was thinking intake manifold when you said Intake.

yea the snorkel off the air box

Do you have a Dobeck or Power Commander? Odds are you are running rather lean. With the efi you would need a new "box" to add more fuel.

i finally got to take the plugs out of the engin to check if it was rich or lean the plugs are grayish white so that means it is running lean correct

i thought polaris used good plugs but i got the lcheap o's the old champions what is a good plug to put back in there

Grayish white would seem to be normal. It's possible they were that way before your snorkel install and they haven't cleaned up yet. If you bog occurs with the home-made snorkel and if fine otherwise, I have to believe your piping isn't large enough to move adequate volumes of air when you goose it.

Champions are the standard plug. I use NGKs as replacements.

i took the home made snorkel off and it still does it so i think i am going to put the dobeck on it and see what it does

You might want to check for codes. It's possible it's caused by something gone awry with your EFI.
