Looking for needle and seats for 76 340 Liquifire carb

Post by luvzvintage »

hi

Obtaining a 76 340 LiquiFire that I'm told idles fine but won't power up properly as it seems to be dumping too much fuel into the engine - quite possibly needle and seats of carb(s)? Any idea where I can find these?

thx!

Go Deere!

LZ,

You should be able to buy Mikuni needle and seats at most any snowmobile supply house or dealership. If it hasn't been done already, the carbs should be torn down, cleaned and inspected. New needles and seats, pilot and main jets are always a good idea if the condition of the originals is suspect.

I hope this helps,

I normally carry the genuine Mikuni version too, but it's backordered, and seems to be at a lot of other online stores too.
