98 XP Limited Buzzing while open....

[Bisco13]

Whats good....my 98 XPL will buzz while riding wide open at times. Seems to be after riding for a while, then it goes away. What does this mean?

Also, it only beeps twice on occasion at start, and has recently been rough to start after week sit.

You are overheating your engine.

Make sure all your cooling hoses are clear. You may have a partial plug somewhere.

Hey, thanks for your input, 2 questions quick, I noticed that I had an exhaust leak above my carbs on this ski while I was flushing it, could that be linked to this issue? Secondly, someone was telling me about having to re-jet my carbs due to the ethanol in today's. Told me that if I didnt do this, my ski will run too lean and burn up. Have you heard of this or is this mechanic looking for buisiness?
