  1. Vintage Ski Doo's
    I have a 98 Formula Z 583. It sat for 3 years and was all gummed up. I replaced the primer pump, rebuilt the carbs, pressure washed out the tank, replaced the in-tank filter and fuel lines. Primed it and she fired up right away. But dies soon after. When I hit the throttle right after start it...
  2. Vintage Ski Doo's
    I have a 97 Formula Z. It has twin carbs. Each carn has a white plastic fitting on both sides that has a short hose that ends just below the carb. I rebuild the carbs and when I reinstalled I broke off the hose barb of one of the fittings and cannot attach a hose now. Any advice? or is this not...

    I have a 2004 gsx 500ss sport and it won’t stay running, it bogs down even after being warmed up for a while. i figured the first thing to do since i had been sitting for a while was to put some fresh gas in and it did nothing. decided i’m best off rebuilding and cleaning the carbs. however i...

    Hey, I have a Renegade Backcountry 800r (carb) 2011. 150 psi on each side. When it's cold, she starts like a beast but after a ride or just when de motor is warm, it won't start. I have to wait like 45 minutes to start her up again. Or when I put reverse on, it just shut down. Had this...
  5. REV-XP/XS Chassis: Perf. Trail 120-129 Inch Models
    Here’s a pic from some field riding (landowner approved) we did last year. It’s across from our home, so the dogs like to run behind the sleds and I couldn’t resist a pic. We have two of these 2015 MXZ carb models and they’ve been incredible. Roughly 6000 miles on each and zero issues thus far.

  7. Vintage Ski Doo's
    Hey I have a 250cc single elan and it runs like brand new, does not bog, and sounds aweosme. But if it doesn’t start first pull then it doesn’t start. I have read that this is the float sticking or a problem with the needle valve. Am wondering if this will work as a replacement carb or if anyone...
  8. MXZ / Legend / Summit / Grand Touring / Formula
    2002 mxz 800 Little backfire on deceleration. Sleds runs great otherwise. So Put on 65 miles today, half way through my ride I noticed as I slowed and let off throttle from 4k + rpms I’d sometimes get a random backfire, just a little pop out of the exhaust. Also noticed the sled is really bad on...
  9. Vintage Classifieds
    Swapped the 250 twin for a single in my 78 elan dlx, reused the carb from the twin (hr-172a) it starts easy and idles smooth, but it wont rev past 1/3 throttle. It's just enough for it to move but noe more. Plug is black and wet so it seems like the motor is flooding. My first thought was that...

    Hey all, new to the forum here; thanks for any help you can offer ahead of time!! I’m having a strange issue with my Rotax 800. The issue is that it wants to continue to pull and keep going for a second or so AFTER letting go of the throttle. It seems to idle ok (now: see below) but not...

    I bought a 1985 safari 447 the guy gave me a carb that he said would work for it. But after looking up the info on it, it will not work plus the carb is trashed.

    I have an '81 Everest 503 with a single Mikuni carb that won't stay idling, it dies after about 10 seconds if I don't give it a partial primer pump or put my fingers over the carb throat. Dies from being too lean. Holding palm over carb throat or giving it a pump of the primer it starts right...

    Been having issues with my sled... First the check engine light and overheating light came up on my dash. Shortly after the lights came on, the speedometer sensor gave out and wasn't getting any readings of the sled speed. Then shortly after that the reverse has burnt out. Looking for more info...
