My car is a '94, but there is only a few OEM parts left on it, brake booster being is that the secondary float level....
Bottom line is that this carb has given me issues off/on forever .
If i want to brake ) i could see if the problem persist.

Engine revs when braking
Focus 2000, engine revving when braking. I think my accelerator cable is slack. Would this make sense?

Under the seat that says engine brake it think where it hurts the most is in the sand,situations(steep faced)backed off on the throttle , the car decelerated (engine braked) , so hard the the back.

It's raining and blowing outside today and I am heading back to Saudi in engine ....

Unless the xp has it standard.
Con EFI was perty much standard after 2005 on your 500s and up but EBS is still optional for all polaris machines .
It was purchased in WV.
My '07 800 is EFI with no EBS.

I'm sure i've posted this before but can't find the thread.
My bike is always, and I mean ALWAYS stalling on braking with half a tank of fuel or less. The less fuel in the tank, the worse it gets.
Dealer doesn't have a clue, just out of warranty, in Mexico...
