[@dylanbrooks1187]

Great vid dude really likes how you broke everything down and made it easy to understand.!

[@jonathankelly2740]

Thanks for the video helped a ton and thanks for showing the different parts

[@adamweiser4974]

You should also remove the water trap from the bottom of the bowl and clean it really well.

Thanks for making this video. Doing my new indy 600 project.

[@Brown_Tines]

Dude same 1986 indy 600.

Super good video man, thanks for the help

[@rltkktlr]

Good video. Also needle and seat should be checked and replaced if damaged. Xlt’ were notorious for this causing fuel to flood engine after shut down

[@MarshallBLewis]

how do you check if they are in good condition?

[@rltkktlr]

@@MarshallBLewis the needle can be inspected, should be clean on tips with no damage. If you have any starting/flooding problems and you have carbs out my’s as well change them.

Always clean the float bowl, take out air screw to clean the passage ways as well, when taking out the air screw count how many turns in it goes so you know how many turns out to go from seating. also always clean the catch tube, if you dont clean out the catch tube you basically putting the carb back in dirty..

[@DavidSmith-tu1nd]

Take apart the needle and seat, check for wear marks. Take out the air mixture screw on the side for a clean out. Clean out the trap tube bottom of bowl.

Good.

Quick question, when you take out the carbs do you still leave the choke on high on your snowmobile!

[@johnmorgan1174]

So I went through and cleaned the airbox, carbs, put new spark plugs in. I've got good compression, air, fuel, and spark but it's still not firing. Turns over all day but won't fire. Any tips?

[@MrDylanbrody]

How are the carb boots?

Hello Dirtbiker, I have a 2003 Polaris 500 Widetrak. One of the carbs is leaking fuel out of the side. A brass pipe with no hose connected. I believe that you called it a choke port. Any Ideas why fuel leaks out of that port?

[@dirtbiker135]

Probably getting too much fuel, that should be an overflow line so if the bowl is getting too much gas it will come out that to prevent flooding the engine

[@BlackBoneAMX]

@@dirtbiker135 I believe it had a debris issue. Running good with no overflow. After watching your video and you mentioning the choke. I noticed that the choke on that side was staying partially open. I cycled it a few times, tapped the carb a few times with my rubber handle screwdriver. All is good. Thanks. With this awesome weather I have been hiking 5 miles every other day. The snowshoes are strapped to the old Polaris ready to to snowshoe into some mountain cabins. Just ordered a new nitro mousse insert for the front tire of the Husqvarna. I am already looking forward to single track season.

Why cant you mix up the carbs arent they identical

[@dirtbiker135]

Yes they are identical but that carb is basically used to working with that cylinder. You can switch them up but it is just better to keep them in the same spot

[@jackfrosty79ify]

I'd keep choke on lol
