  • Today I had to clean carbs on a 2003 Arctic Cat ZL550 because it has been sitting for quite some time. Man these things were dirty! Hope this helps!

    Great video. You showed every step. An idiot could clean and repair a carb with this video. Not like those other videos where a person talks about his sled for 28 minutes and shows how to fix it in the last 2 minutes.

      I take a Q-tip, cut it in two and stick the shaft in a drill. Dip it in Brasso and use that to polish the inside of the seat. Rinse with carb cleaner.

    When reassembling the two carburetors back onto the machine, do you attach the fly wheel carb first?

    Do you HAVE to put the carbs back to the same side? I have my two carbs and two top cylinders off because I’m replacing gaskets. Thanks

    • @ToyShop9665
      @ToyShop9665  Год назад

      Some sleds from the factory have each carb jetted differently on purpose due to heat difference on each side. If they’re jetted the same and the bodies are identical I wouldn’t think it would matter!

    Great video dude! I finally got my sled running! I followed it step by step, when I put them back in and started it, something is coming out of those vent lines like crazy, is that normal?

    • @ToyShop9665
      @ToyShop9665  Год назад

      I’d say that’s definitely not normal 🤔 it’s possible the needle and seats aren’t seating but the way the vent lines are routed it would fill the motor I think before it came out of the vent line.

    I’m working on the same carburetor and mine leaks fuel from that little bung as you said at the bottom of the fuel bowl. I’ve been searching online for a while now and can’t fine anything that will work to close that line. Do you happen to know what it is called or where I can find something like that? I’ve searched up fuel bowl bung and get nothing.

    • @ToyShop9665
      @ToyShop9665  Год назад

      I searched the sled and found a website that listed oem part numbers then put that part number into Amazon. I haven’t tried this part but for $10 I’d try it

    What is the purpose of the carburetor safety switch? When i connect it the ignition shuts down.

      @ToyShop9665  7 месяцев назад

      This forum has some good info! Looks like it works hand in hand with the thumb throttle switch so make sure your slide isn’t stuck open

    Question, do you have to have that little clip for the needle because I don't and I'm wondering if that's my issue if you do, could you send me a link to one please and thank you.

    • @angrypenguin185wynia4
      @angrypenguin185wynia4 Год назад

      And I have the exact same on mine I have a 1996 puma 340 I almost got it going, but I just need to figure out some carb issues and I never did clean out my needle seat. I probably should do that. And I think I need to get a hose like that for mine because it's just open it it's drips fuel out.

    • @angrypenguin185wynia4

      Your needle doesn’t have the clip. Most needles do have the clip but it’s not a big deal because yours was designed to work without it. It also looks like your needle doesn’t have a rubber tip it’s all metal. So I would make sure the seat is really clean. If there’s and crap in there where it seats it won’t be able to seal off the flow of fuel. The rubber ones seem to be a little more forgiving lol Not sure what hose you’re talking about? 🤔 the overflow fuel lines?

    Can you use brake cleaner instead of carb cleaner ?

    • @ToyShop9665
      @ToyShop9665  Год назад

      I don’t see why not 🤷🏻‍♂️ I feel like carb cleaner is cheaper than brake cleaner so I always use that. But if that’s all you have laying around sure!
