Hi guys,I've been playing with my new Rx-1 so far so good except for when I nail the throttle when sitting still. I've got the ecp's with the stage 2 clutch kit,I had the low speed screws set at 2 turns out and it would bog for a second then pick the skis and go. Last night I came home pulled the carb rack and turned the screws in a 1/4 turn took it out in the yard and it still bogged but sounded differnt than before still pulled hard maybe harder. Was wondering where I should be with the low speed screws. Also I haven't bought anything to syc. the carbs with could this be the problem? Thanks for all the solutions on this web site ,this is my first 4 stroke I've been sleddin since 68.Got a bog coming off the line.

If its new then the engine is still not broken in. They're extremely tight when new and can sometimes react a little funny (bogging, backfiring, etc.) It also has to be warmed up real well before it will run right.
A bog can come from more than just the carbs. It can also come from too tight of an engine, and/or incorrectly set clutching. Since you're in NY, I have to assume that you're trying to drive it on the dirt (not recommended). That clutching is not set for dirt, it probably would engage too low. Add that to the tight new engine, and you have yourself a bog.

You can also check your throttle override system.

Good point silver...BBY
A bog usually is caused by a lean condition. The screw is a fuel screw and turning it in will worsen the condition. Try 2 1/2 turns out.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, they give me some different things to check.
