Great video man, the only thing I've encountered cleaning rack style cabs is if you don't take the tops off where you can adjust your e-clips on your needles you will blow all the dirt from the inside the bottom of the carb up Inside the top
9/8/18 Finally , The info Ive been looking For!! Thank You. I have 2000 Polaris 800 Rmk but only have (1) 1/4"nipple on top of carbs and 2 hoses to carb box 1/8" dia..It was a mess and too dark to see anything down there..Found big mouse nest along with much of my hood foam . wound up painting pan and sides white which really helped and CORRECT hose routing was finally solved.. again THANK YOU!
Bought a 1999 polaris xlt 600 indy special snowmobile, and it came with the flat slide carbs off of a 2000 polaris indy triumph. Major damage to them from previous owners, Switching back to the stock carbs, but I might try to save them, not really sure if it's worth the time
I'm so nervous this isn't gonna work... or fix my mid to high range power. Gonna eat pizza and start it up. Oh and really pay attention to wear your fuel lines are before removing it. Also be very careful when you are putting it back in not to pull on fuel or oil lines.. I unseated an oil at the middle of the engine under it all almost halfway and it took me at least an hour to get it back on without taking it all off again. Used needle nose with a off set and a mirror. Grabbed it around the clamp so I hopefully wouldn't damage the hose and got it seated again.. definitely thought the carbs would have been more dirty tho.
@@HaNg_ALL_ThE_tRaItOrS_hiGh it's not a file it only has smooth ribs, they don't remove material because that would also mess with the torch tip size and cause them to need to be replaced as well, the torch tip are also soft metal
@@HaNg_ALL_ThE_tRaItOrS_hiGh I hear you, I don't use them anymore because they can break off inside the jet but I've cleaned out Jets with no problems as long as they didn't break.
I have an 2002 polaris 500. The sled runs great, good throtel respince, ans no idling issues when the choke is half on. As soon as I turn the choke off (and yes it's warmed up) the rpms rev to about 2100 rpm and then the sled will slow bog until it stalls. If I touch the throtel even when it's reved up the sled will stall instantly. Is this a carb adjustment issue??
Big Kid Powersports The idle stays high for approximately 30 seconds. Then the rpms slowly decrease until it stalls. Once the rpms start to decrease it takes a minute or two for it to stall out.
Michael Troiano it sounds like it may have an air leak if it revs like that. Having the choke on feeds it more fuel. Can you save it from dieing if you flick the choke back on?
I got a Polaris rmk 700 Same kinda carbs but having problems with geting to much fuel I had to take off the exhaust pipe few times cuz it was flooding it’s self I cleaned the carbs to just like in your video any idea
Sounds like a stuck float, or fuel is leaking past the float needle. There's a small black o-ring around the white plastic tube that carries the float needle. Sometimes these get brittle, crack and leak fuel past... Sending fuel into the crankcase.
What are the brass adjusters on the intake side of both carbs, pto side, they look like a petcock and have a fairly large exterior spring to keep them from viberating out? Are these the idle adjusters?
They can oversize and the novice will never figure out why their sled just never quite runs right. All that said informative videos otherwise and thanks for making it.
Just about at the end of this video, you mentioned about taking care of something in fron of the engine, power ???. Where do I find that video? Also, I took my air filter aprt, and the filter had gas in it. Have an idea what causes that?
Power valves aka--> VES= variable exhaust system. Be very careful when reinstalling them as the 6mm bolts will strip the threads from the jugs very easily if you don't know your own strength. Lmao.
Ok so i cleaned my carbs and i think i may have jetted it wrong. Idle is good but after aout 6 RPM it bogs and sounds real scratchy. I am not sure what i did wrong. Any ideas? its a 03 Ski-Doo rev chassis 600.
No. Won't help at all. You'd be better running seafoam in the gas, which can help in some instances. But honestly, clean the carbs. If you have debris that is plugged in one of those jets, you could blow the entire sled up.
This guy said get a small file or a piece of wire to clean out out the jet you never want to do that cause you can scratch the inside of your jet and even that can make your sled over fuel
Thank you! This helped me to clean my own carbs today, I even called to ask a question and they were very helpful, two thumbs up!

Great video.
Awesome great length video!!! Thanks!!
when putting the jets back in, does it matter what position they are in or just until they are snug?
do you have a video on how to clean the carbs on a Yamaha vmax 600 94, or are these the same carbs
I recently got it but need to do some repairs
Great vid thanks for your help.
Do you have a video on replacing a Flat Side float system incuding needles and seats?
Hey man what should the fuel screw be adjustment too?
Great vids!! Thanks bud
Thank you very helpful

Powertune or RSA O.B. Motor cleaner is the shit! Been using them 20 yrs
I cleaned mine and I’m only 14 good vid
Is it common to replace the plastic floats? I have two sets of carburetors that are both flooding out after replacing everything except the floats
Thank you. Great Video.
Do you happen to know if this is the same set up as on a 2006 Polaris Fusion 600 h.o. snowmobile? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Both sides should be the same jet don't matter if it's pto or mag side
I got same carb, but the T Fitting is broke at the bottom and I need to replace. How do I separate the carbs to change it?
Nice video man, the quality is nice and this helped me tonnes!
i fill my sled at the end of the year and use the gas to mow my lawn. by the end of the summer, the 3 sleds are empty and the grass is dead :)
I have gas coming out of the top vent line do you know what causes that

Good video buddy
2004 Polaris 700 RMK vertical edge 144". Pilot jet stripped. Now how to get it out?
Les Wolfe
Use a ez out
Can you do a video on a 600 vmax carburetor cleaning a a place to get 1993 n1994 trottle slide valves. Thks
Not sure if you got that sorted, but I do have an original Dealer service manual here if you need the detailed process, in multilingual format.
You can't clog a jet by debris going through the air venturi. The only way a jet gets clogged is by dirty fuel or old fuel plugging and gumming.
Exactly.
The cleaning tool you're thinking of is a cutting torch tip cleaner
Never ever use one on mains, pilots or any part of a carb. You will remove material and they will need to be replaced.
@@HaNg_ALL_ThE_tRaItOrS_hiGh it's not a file it only has smooth ribs, they don't remove material because that would also mess with the torch tip size and cause them to need to be replaced as well, the torch tip are also soft metal
I went through small engines master certification at my last job. Using these is a no go.. idc
@@HaNg_ALL_ThE_tRaItOrS_hiGh I hear you, I don't use them anymore because they can break off inside the jet but I've cleaned out Jets with no problems as long as they didn't break.
I use a bread tie wire.

Michael Troiano. I would bet on a carb issue. How long will it high idle before it dies once the choke is off?
Big Kid Powersports
The idle stays high for approximately 30 seconds. Then the rpms slowly decrease until it stalls. Once the rpms start to decrease it takes a minute or two for it to stall out.
Michael Troiano it sounds like it may have an air leak if it revs like that. Having the choke on feeds it more fuel. Can you save it from dieing if you flick the choke back on?
Big Kid Powersports
Yes I just tried it out as soon as I flip the choke back on it saves it from stalling out.
Michael Troiano check your air screws. Check your carb boots.
good view, very helpful.
Po
Would this be similar with 00/01 rmk gen 2 Non ves
99 xc 500 gas spray in airbox cause ? reeds or floats ?
I have a 95 yamaha vmax 600 cleaned the carbs and now have tors light problems.. help??

air/fuel ratio adjuster for low end.
Glad to be of help!
Never and i repeat never use the weldimg tip cleaner tool he is talking about on any main jets or pilot jets. You will wreck them.
They can oversize and the novice will never figure out why their sled just never quite runs right. All that said informative videos otherwise and thanks for making it.
Tip cleaners have about half an inch of non filing surface at the tips. Used properly they won't ruin your jets.
What’s the jet on the outside of the carburetor? I need to replace mine on a stock 02 xc 500 but don’t know what’s it called or size.
It's either the air jet (polaris part 3131203) Or if it's the one that's adjustable, it the air adjuster (polaris part 3130987)
What would cause my float bowl vents to over flow. While my skidoo 600ho is running fuel just pours out thst line
few possibilities, fuel inlet needle and seat leaking(o_ring on seat if removeable) ,float soaking or missadjusted if applicable
Why would the vent lines have fuel coming out of them I have a 99xc 600.
No, just till the snug up.. Careful they are brass.
Glad it was useful!
Click the BK logo - go to my "youtube home page" and search Power Valves - there are 2 different videos - RUclips wont let me post a link - sorry.

Same..
Pull the carbs out then take choke and throttle cable off its much easier. Nice video tho
Ok so i cleaned my carbs and i think i may have jetted it wrong. Idle is good but after aout 6 RPM it bogs and sounds real scratchy. I am not sure what i did wrong. Any ideas? its a 03 Ski-Doo rev chassis 600.
Charles Guinn 6 rpm.....wow!!!! Should atleast idle 1600-1800
Jetted it wrong?
this guy is a hack and sux, learn to build your carbs better form someone else
Can I just spray carb cleaner down the airbox?
No. Won't help at all. You'd be better running seafoam in the gas, which can help in some instances. But honestly, clean the carbs. If you have debris that is plugged in one of those jets, you could blow the entire sled up.
Dirty air from a dirty air box will not plug a main jet
alright thanks
What!?!..... those aren't to adjust idle... they are fuel screws... it's to tune the A/F ration on idle.
This guy said get a small file or a piece of wire to clean out out the jet you never want to do that cause you can scratch the inside of your jet and even that can make your sled over fuel
Yeap! :)
