Carb Kits - VM34 Mikuni on Liquifire 340

[JD_Sledder68]

I want to order a couple of carb kits just to keep on the shelf for the 78 Liquifire 340 sled, but I can't tell if my carbs are zinc or just dirty aluminum. Did Deere use mostly zinc models of the VM34 carbs on the Liquifires?

Thanks,

Ahhh...nevermind.

A more complete search on this board yielded this answer:

"The float arm is held in place by a shaft that has a light press-in fit. Tap it towards the end with the wide head using a small punch and hammer. Once the press-in fit comes loose, the shaft will come right out. The type of carb is a alumimun spigot type Mikuni carb. The needle/seat will unscrew from the base of the carb. The size of the seat should be stamped on it. The jetting specs can be found in the FAQ section of this forum."
