How do I clean my carbs on my snowmobile?

Question

Hi, I have a 1984 Yamaha Phazer SE, its sat for 1 year and the carbs are all messed up. I've never cleaned carbs before or seen it done, so i need instructions, diagrams, opions, tips, anything! Thanx tons

Answer 1

just pull em off and get a can of carb cleaner spray , take em apart and spray in every hole u can find and get all the debri off. might be a good idea to spray off the outside first so it is easy to avoid getting the crap thats on the outside on the inside.

Answer 2

Have it done by someone that knows carbs or a shop. reason being if you set the carbs wrong you will destroy the engine. Even if you get it running now there is a good chance the are not synchronized anymore due to varnish build up or if you pumped throttle while a slide was sticking. If you are dead set on doing it yourself, I would be, buy a manual for this sled.

You will need a synchronizer to set them after cleaning but if your going to go through all that buy a rebuild kit and hope that the person that owned it before you didn't install a jet kit.

Next year when go to put it up run it out of gas.

PS now that your doing all this drain the old 2 cycle oil and replace it with new.

happy trails

Answer 3

There are two jets on each carb spray carb cleaner will work I assume you have Mikuni carbs un screw the top and pull slide out the main jet is in bottom of carb idle jet is in bottom of carb after you unscrew bottom plug.Clean those jets and put in fresh gas when ready to store use gas stabilizer and run it long enough to get to carb then turn off gas and run a couple minutes.
