Flooding

[Teth-Air]

My 2016 AXYS tends to flood when in and out of the throttle when riding deep powder. Not when RPM's are up but at idle. It starts smoking and the idle slowly drops as if the plugs are fouling. I have recently reset the TPS for this problem and it seemed a bit better but not fixed. What else can make it go rich enough to foul plugs? I also changed all the relays before the last ride in case the oil pump was going full. I am now suspecting a bad injector but both spark plugs look similar. How about the exhaust temperature sensor? Will the sled go rich if this is bad?

Thanks for replies from those in the know.

Could it be as simple as your intake vents are getting covered with snow and the lack of air flow is the real issue?

I have to wipe the vents clear all the time in deep snow to prevent it from bogging out / running too rich.

Maybe fuel pressure regulator sticking?

I have my air intakes completely choked all the time and at worst only notice a few hundred RPM drop at full throttle.

Not the intakes or exhaust plugged.

The EGT sensor can do this yes, but usually causes some bogs though out the range. And the most time will store a code that a digital wrench will see.

A leaking injectors could do this, also exhaust valves.

Could be a broken reed, I know the old carburetor sleds would act like that with broken reeds.

My buddy's 17 with 3500 miles was running very rich, looked like a old diesel truck. It was the reeds that had some chips out of them. Not sure if this will helps.
