Fuel Starvation Problem

[RX-1 Liter]

03 RX-1 w/ ECP and Evac. I have put 400 miles on since installing the ECP filters and have not had a problem. Today 10 degrees and 8 inches of fresh powder and the sled ran great for the first 110 miles. After floating through a field and geting totally covered in powder it would first bog at WOT when it hit 10,000 rpm. Then a few miles later it would bog at WOT at 9,000 rpms and drop down to 8,000. It accelerates normal up to those rpms and then just dies when you go WOT. Could something have frozen in the carbs to cause this? I can't imagine that it would freeze since a week ago I put on 80 miles in 15 inches of fresh snow and the sled ran great the entire ride. Any thoughts?

Go to the ECP threads, them will help you

Carb vent lines were plugged with snow. Same thing will happen if you ever accidentally pinch a line.

Or maybe the fuel filter is partially plugged?
