    Will a choke plunger rebuild kit for a 2005-2013 Kawasaki Brute Force 650 twin work on my 2005 Arctic Cat 650 V2, considering they have the same Kawasaki motor and Carb? The picture looks like the same parts. This is the Kit I'm looking at...

    I've got a 1991 arctic cat jag 440 afs that will not stay running. To start the sled I have to hold the throttle half open and even then it sounds like it's running on one cylinder. I can get it going but it bogs constantly and has no power. As soon as i let off the gas it will stall. When I...

    Last year I bought an older arctic cat 500 4x4 in near mint condition. This thing is great and has tons of new maintenance done to it. I used it to plow snow last season but the carb always had issues. If I leave the tank on it’ll flood the carb all over my floor. If I ran the machine I had to...

    Hey guys I need help with the carbs. I think I have a vacuum issue but not sure. On these carbs are both slides supposed to move in unison equally correct? When I rev my front slide opens up but the rear carb slide stays still. Rear slide is not frozen and can be moved easily with my hand. I...

    Hey so I finally got a carb rebuild kit for the old sled and got them thrown in. I just hooked up the gas lines and throttle cables because I just wanted to make sure it worked and sure enough it fired right up with some starting fluid. Drove it for about 20 feet and let it idle for a couple...

    Mornin! Anybody have any Carb boots that will fit a '90 Wildcat 650? I cant find them anywhere on the net. This is a yard sled, so I'd be willing to try something that might need some ******* engineering too. Wondering if anybody knows a comparable size I can make fit. From what I've read, I...

    I'm fixing up an old 400 and the pilot/AF screw o-ring is missing. Anybody know the size? I'd hate to order the whole screw for such a small/common piece, but the diagrams don't list the o-ring separately. Thanks!

    Hoping someone will be able to give me some tips here. I have a 1980 Artic cat jag 2000. Fresh gas, fresh plugs, clean carb, good compression. Engine runs well at idle and will idle for however long you want it to. After riding the sled for 3-10 minutes and giving it throttle the sled will bog...

    I bought a great looking 2000 4X4 manual. Needed a solenoid, had problems with the carb(I thought it was bad gas), and needs a muffler. Replaced the solenoid. Began looking for a new carb (previous owner had replaced with a new Chinese one), and found out they are non existent, except for very...

    Hello all, I recently picked up a 2002 500 4x4 automatic. According to the previous owner it would barely rev at all, and break up while doing so. He was messing with the carb but didn't really know what he was doing. I got the quad home and he had swapped the idle and main jet, so it was idling...

    I have a 2005 Arctic Cat ATV. There is a relief tube that comes from the carburator. It constantly leaks (only at a small dripping rate), but won't stop. It does seem to stop dripping for a few hours after running my quad. I did take it to a shop and they said the float needle could have small...

    Evening Guys I have got a 2007 AC 400 4x4 Automatic TRV plus I am trying to figure out the correct Spark plug for this engine? Is there a stamp on the cylinder anywhere as well? I think its the 376cm3. Shes running a bit lean i think as well as exhaust gets very hot ? Could anyone shed any...

    I have a 98 carb zr600 that I bought with a noticeable exhaust leak issue, I rode it for a bit and it got very bad so I decided to replace the gasket, but the new "oem fit" gasket i got from Denis Kurk didnt fix my issue, upon looking at videos and pics of other 98 zrs I realized that the flange...

    Hi Everyone Got a 2000 arctic cat 300 4x4, have an issue where after about 10 minutes of idling just fine with no choke the idle starts to creep higher and higher until its screaming. Already checked for intake leaks with carb cleaner and rebuilt the carb, the only thing I found when rebuilding...

    So I’ve come across a package deal that includes a 2001 ZR 800, a 2000 skidoo formula z 600, and a trailer is I can talk him into it. I’m really curious about the ZR. I’ve got a 98 EXT 580 EFI right now. The ZR is carbed with reverse and I’ve been told less than 4000 miles. He says it runs and...

    I've got a 78 Jag 3000 that I'm fixing up. Latest problem is that it's leaking gas from the carb. It usually starts ok but then starts leaking gas after 5 to 10 seconds of running then continues steadily after that. I'm NOT mechanically inclined but willing to try anything. I just recently...
