I am sure I am missing something simple but I have tried everything I know. I have adjusted the fuel pressure down to try to clean is up but it doesn't help. I have adjusted the low end numbers on the box but still not clean on bottom end. Could it be clutching? What is everyone running for clutching? I am running the helix that Push sent...I think it is a 36/42, 80g weights and the D&D red spring in primary. Could it be tank venting? Possible air filter problem? I have the conical filter but no sock on it. What is the recommendation for cleaning the filter and how do you clean it?

Try it without the air filter and that will tell you if that is the issue. If nothing else has changed then this could be be it. Like you said, its usually something simple. Is the filter cleanable? If not then I would pick up a cage and sock set up from one of the other turbo builders or who ever makes them. To be honest, I don't see the point of running an actual paper or fibre air filter in a snowmobile. It's not necessary, collects any exhaust fumes which it may come in contact with it, collects moisture from any melting snow that might find its way under the hood. Run a sock and cage and clean with soap and water from time to time. Or get a cold air intake and you won't need to worry about that at all.
It is a Spectre filter. Looks like a typical K&N type filter but no dye in the oil on it and it does not have much oil on it. I was not running a sock over it so moisture could have been and issue as it sits right under the RH holes in the hood that don't have screen or frogskinz. All I need is a cage with waterproof sock but where do I get it?
I think BD recently lowered the price of their intakes, you might want to try them.
I have a PG kit not RG so no injectors in charge tube.
Just checked online and the BD filter kit is $140. That seems quite steep! I did notice that Push has gone away from the Spectre filter and has a cage with Outerwears sock now. OVS still uses the Spectre but no sock.
