Howdy spectratone,

You need to rejet your Mikunis. There is little to be gained by changing the thermostat or fan or anything except the jets. You could build a stove box around your header and use it to warm the intake air, but beyond that there is little that can be changed external to the carbs.

I am pretty sure several snowmobile manufacturers used Mikuni carbs, so it is not a hopeless task, only one you will need to learn how to do and then do it at least twice a year; maybe more often if you live in an area with a wide temperature swing.
