Sled bogging down at random times

[summit02]

My 02 800 zx keeps bogging down at random times. could it be bad gas? i am going to clean the carbs this weekend but was wondering if it could be from bad gas.

Explain more about the 'bogging"
what are the chain of events that lead up to low rpms?

i will start my sled and let it warm up for a while and then take off. it will be fine i will let off and go to get back on the throttle and it will bog i will let off and it will take a little to get it back up to stay idling. i will get back on the trhottle a little bit and it will take off like it should i will be slowing down and it will almost die and i about go over the handle bars. i will then be riding full throttle and it will bog down again.

i would clean the carbs sounds like a jet that is plugged up or a fuel filter plugged?

i took apart the carbs and cleaned them today and it is running better when its not missing on one cylinder. i changed the plugs and messed with the wire and it started running on the other cylinder. now my problem is that it will sit idling at high rpms and then without touching anything it will slow right down to nothing and then die. any ideas?

carb boots are starting to leak also pronanly due for some new reeds

as ELKMAN say's...if you do change them then get boyesens and a reed spacer kit...it woke the bottom end of my ol sled up...
