Just fired 2010 summit 800 up after 2 years of sitting in storage, noticed its only firing on one cylinder until about 4K rpm then the other one kicks in... I had this issue once b4 when it was brand new and it was a clogged jet... (according to dealership)... just wondering if there is anyone near by that would be able to help me fix this issue, as I now have a garage to work on it... I could bring it somewhere professional, but would really like to do it (or at least help) as nothing is learnt from just dropping it off... I would be willing to bring it by u if that would be better, just don't wanna tear it apart and not have it go back together lol...
Any suggestions would be much appreciated... thanx in advance!

Plugged pilot jet or fouled plug. I second Accessory Shop. Darryl does great work and very easy on the wallet.

Could try the old "japanese" tune-up, that work quite a bit.... Revving up the engine a bit with the air intake housing off, quickly put your palm over the throttle inlet and it will try to stall... Then quickly take your hand off..... Repeat several times, and this may dislodge a plugged jet or needle. Tricks of the trade ;)
