I have a 1994 formula z, and i need to clean out the carbs but dont want to bring it into a shop to have it done. Im not familiar with snowmobiles, so any advice on how to do this? I also have the R.A.V.E system on my sled, does this have a part in cleaning the carbs?
I just bought one myself and just cleaned the carbs. You need to take the air box off first. then you need to unscrew the top of the carburator and remove it. Place it into a plastic bag so you don't scratch the sides. Only do one at a time. remove the primer hose and gas line. then loosen the clamp holding the carb to the motor. you can then take it apart and clean it out. Just make sure you put everything back in the same place or it wont run and you will have to take it to the repair shop. The easiest way is to buy a shop manual and follow the directions. Any chance of you sending a picture of your pull rope routing? My cord broke and i am not sure how to route it and the manual doesn't show.
Ski Doo Snowmobile Parts I need parts for a vintage snowmobile?
I have a Ski-doo Elan 250t from 1972 and don't know of a good place to start looking for spare parts. Can I still by parts for a 37 year-old snowmobile and if so, where at?
Try going to a snowmobile salvage yard. Do a search for it and you will have some come up. Also, I don't know where you live, but here in Wisconsin, all through the year at different times they have vintage snowmobile shows, and swapmeets. Go there and ask questions about where they get theeir parts. Do a search for local vintage snowmobile clubs, get in touch with some of the members, they will be able to help.
