| We used our new hawkeye's one weekend, and they seemed to have plenty of power for hills, fording creeks, etc....
But, the next week i couldnt get it over 4 or 5 mph going up a hill of any kind... did you or your dealer find any solution to your power problem?

| Yeah. They had a recall on the fuel jet. I have a hawkeye and once that problem is fixed everything is fine.

| HERE'S THE FIX...........
If your dealer won't replace the jets and wants to drill holes, keep in mind the jets are under 10 bucks and the labor should only be about 30 bucks or so I was told. I'd rather spend the cash than have 6 holes in my airbox.
Carb Pre 3/7/06--------------------------- Carb Post 3/7/06 (The right one)
Main jet 147.5----------------------------------- Main jet 140
Pilot jet 42.5--------------------------------------Pilot jet 45
Jet needle 4HB42-5-------------------------------Jet needle 4HC57-3
Neddle jet 04-m-----------------------------------Needle jet 05-m
Post 3/7/06 Altitude--------------------Below 40 degrees F ---------------Above 40 degrees F
0-6000 feet ------------------------------------145-----------------------------------140
6000-1200 feet------------------------------- 140------------------------------------135 or 6 1/2 inch holes in top of airbox....(stupid)
According to Polaris the dealer can either replace the jets or (stupid) drill 6 1/2 inch holes in the top of the airbox and you can self adjust by removing the rubber plugs in those holes, again (stupid)
