- Here we show how to clean a Snowmobile Carburetor. This one came off of a Ski Doo, But most snowmobiles use this type of carburetor.
For a more detailed video and better explanation of the inner workings of a carb, please refer to the following video series by Louis Skebo (PowerModz):

Great video. Helped a lot on my first carb teardown. Thanks.
Thanks for a NO BS tutorial
U take the carb slide out before u pull carb out of sled just so everybody knos. He makes it a lot more work then it needs to be
how come you forgot the piolet jet? it's the most used jet in that carb
Thank you very much for posting this Marcel
Yes. The Carbs on that sled are the same as this. They use a mikuni just like this one.
Thanks for posting this. Much appreciated.
Electrical tape makes the best band aids
Maybe not on a baby though the kid might chew it off and harmful if swallowed
Well, I'd say run a compression test and see if the new head gasket is good. If that checks fine check the adjustments on the carburetors and make sure they are in synch.
Great video. Could you make a video on the choke? I just bought a new carb just like the one you used in the video and mine didn’t come with the choke push pull plug. It just had a hallow brass something
I would count the number of turns until it's seated all the way in. Then when re-inserting turn it all the way in and turn it back out that same number of turns.
When you removed the idle screw, did you count the amount of turns and re-insert it the same number or did you measure the barrel height and adjusted both carbs to the same height?
Great video
you should clean and inspect the choke circuit too.
Hey. Nice video. How come you didn't take out the piolet jet and clean it?
what is the compression should be on a polairs indy lite 340
Im not sure. Try searching around on google and such to see what kind of carbs came on that particular sled.
As long as it has a Mikuni Carb on it, it will be the same as this
Did you also pull out the pilot jet for the carb?
Would it work on my 1989 yamaha ovation 340? @WeekendHandymen
I think it might be something with the idle screw. Maybe. Whenever i mess around with it i seem to get more power and lose power. I messed up when taking them out and forgot to count PTO turns. MAG was 11. I tried 11 on each side and ran horrible. Idle at 4.2 RPM. I'm out of ideas though.
I'd do some research and search around and make sure you have the adjustment screws right. Make sure you have them at that baseline and see it goes then. Trying to adjust things and getting it to run right without really knowing if it was at least in the right starting point doesn't work, i've tried only to find out later that I was starting with it all out whack.
I did some repairs on my carb and my sled hasnt been running good since. It idles good but after 6 RPM it sounds scratchy and really weak. All i did was remove my head gasket and take apart the whole carbs. I did it before minus the gasket work. What happened was inside the top of my carbs is the therottle placement thing. but the MAG side of it came off and it wouldn't run good. was running on only the PTO. But since repairing that my engine hasn't been running good. Not sure what to do. Ideas?
I pulled a carburetor off of a really old 2 cylinder snomobile today. It says Toledo, Ohio, and has a bunch of number/letter codes on it. Are the codes a casting date, or do they mean something else?
nice band aid man im an insulator i know all the trick's ;)
I want to put a K and N on my carburetor. I have a 97 yamaha sx 600..... What dimerter is it? I am not by my sled at the moment
You might have to use a lot of some kind of penetrating oil.
Yes, your carb should be similar to this one.
I don't think he's too experienced in that because you seen when he was putting the carburetor bowl back together on the carburetor that he had a problem of which way it should go when wet one of the floats are out of it so hold demonstration should have been with somebody that was I think more experienced in cleaning Carburetors in this guy
What type of mikuni carb is this? I have a 1978 arctic cat panther with a Mikuni VM34, is this carb similar?
great info
do you know if this carb is the same as the one used on a 98 340 articat jag
Thank you for posting. I still can't get my 1999 Articcat bearcat 440 to start, any suggestions?
There are so many things that could be causing causing the issue that I could write several paragraphs on here and still not help you. Your best bet will be to find a forum (such as arcticchat) where other users can help you diagnose the issue step-by-step
Yeah arcticchat is a good website even though i own are polaris lol but how do you post on there cause i posted one post and now i forgot how to post or find what to click on to post?
Would you recommend getting a carb kit incase gaskets are bad?
Yes, always good to have a spare carb kit on hand
What about the idle jet? 9 times out of ten the idle jet is the culprit.
+mike vantol he did the idle jet
is this anyting like the carbs on a 88 polaris indy 500
I got a 1993 Yamaha exciter 570 l/c it only working on one cyclinder but there lots off spark would u know y thanks
Dump in a container of coca cola overnight. Cheaper than carb cleaner. Rinse with water, allow to air dry then reassemble. Never failed me yet.
Geez, never thought of that. I’ll try that as I’ve been using regular gas with ethanol (yeah, I know)…
If it has a Mikuni carb. it will be just like this one.
How do you remove the throttle cable
Ran compression check and it checks at 120 120. But for some reason MAG seems a little bit lower than normal. I changed the head gasket(again) and still no power. Has to be something with the carbs. Feels kinda like a primary clutch failure but still has that low end power so cant be that. I will take out the carbs again. They are flat top carbs. I don't want to bring it to the shop because they are uneducated money lovers and would deff lie to make a easy buck.
my compression is 140 and the other side is 150 would that be ok? also fouling a good amount of plugs, should i just clean the carbs? 1998 formula z 670
+Fetterly 670s seem to like to foul plugs. I wouldn't worry about a difference of 10 PSI in the compression from one cylinder and the other.
+WeekendHandymen awesome thanks! should i clean the carbs out?
+Fetterly Wouldn't hurt. A lot of people will do it as part of their getting the sled out of summer storage ritual.
+WeekendHandymen thanks for the reply, great video
Go to a hitter plug if you're fouling
I have 89' polaris indy 500. It runs and stays running. But if you give it gas it stalls. IM THINKING (CARB CLEAN). Advice/Tips?
Wouldn't hurt. Worth doing since it's a simple job to do.
WeekendHandymen appreciate it brother
Can you just air dry the carb after you have used the carb cleaner
Do you know how to take the throttle cable apart from the carb top??
Is this off your MHz 670?
+My Old Sled No, this carb was off a different ski doo sled engine.
@My Old Sled would love to see you do a tear down of yours! Love your videos and I've got a MXZ 670 as well...so They're particularly useful for me :)
I've had a couple of request so yes I will be when I get to it. This is a great video though.
I second that cleaning! Although mine will need to be done before you get a chance to put out a video. I'll still watch it though. Long live the MXZ 670s!
She does not demonstrate on all of the offices in the carburetor that should be blowing out with carb cleaner and then use that air Chuck to blow them out so he did not do a real complete carburetor cleaning job because one of those portals in the carburetor body itself could be plugged and he did not show how to do that
You may be a handyman but it is obvious that you are not a trained snowmobile mechanic.
u forgot to clean the pilot jet lol 99% of caburation issu are link to dirty pilot jet
Assembly should have been done in normal time, not sped up.
