did you ever swap on a mikuni carb? I'm thinking that is what I need to go to on my x6.

Saturday was a very pleasant surprise. Two friends rode their vintage sleds to my house and they played around with my carb some. Its still burning stupid rich, but I got two hours of riding in and finally have the steering figured out. I'm sure the steering will get better with a full tank of gas. ...

well, I went for my first ride in a year on Wednesday night. I'm having trouble getting fuel to flow consistant, but it might be my carb tuning. I'm going to putz around with this as much as I can this year, then tear the engine out hopefully for a rebuild.

Okay, I got the rear spring brackets bolted in, the through tubes that bolt to the tunnel are in, the track is almost adjusted, but I need to get the front spring brackets bolted in, which I hope to do this weekend. It's not easy to get stuff done with a 4 year old and overtime!!

awesome tip.

Right now I'm struggling with how the 4 brackets that bolt to the tunnel and hold the springs go. It feels like I'm so close!!

Thank you guys very much. I ended up getting the driveshaft back out, put the spacer I forgot back it, and I am starting on the suspension. I bought used tensioner blocks from a guy locally for $10! But now I know where to get them new, I might do that next time. I am just slowly trying to figure ou...

I am finally getting time to mess with the sled again. The service manual I have found online isn't as helpful as I want it to be. Does anyone have pictures of where all the spacers, bearings and flanges go on the driveshaft? When it came out, parts flew everywhere!!!

I got this sled in late 2012. I tore it apart last winter and got it running. But after busting the track, I parked it. Sitting all summer has the screws siezed in there and I don't want to apply heat so close to lots of gas. I am very intimate with the carb/fuel pump.

I managed to get my 74 jdx6 running last year after I pulled it out of a barn that it sat in sense 1982. I ripped the track off it though last February. Thanks to a member on here, I have two new tracks for it. But my new job has not allowed me to work on it much. I went out to start it this year, a...

I don't like to tear everything apart until I have all the parts to do the job. That means less losing things for me and I remember better where things are supposed to go. But tonight I went into the sled to replace the track, and found a broken chain tensioner. So I'm going to take some time and ju...

That's awesome. if the gas lines are bad, chances are the crank seals are bad. I'm working on my barn find sled right now too!

This is turning into a great read!! I kind of what to Db test it now. Just need to get Johnny Law to show up and I think they do a complimentary testing for you.

Last night I removed the suspension. Everything looks really good. I hope I have time this friday to media blast everything. But we will see. I still need to take the drive shaft off.

How do the drive cogs look to you guys?

Looks like I'm going to get two tracks!! But I can't get them soon enough for my taste. So much snow, and no snowmobile. I lifted the rear of the sled up with my hydro crane. I started a fire in the garage and I blew a lot of the snow off. I'm letting the rest melt. From what I can see, everything l...

Snow was up to my knees today in the driveway.
