My buddy just called me and he is new to the sledding world and was given an older 97ish short track Vmax sled. We live in the mountains and he wants to use it on the forest service roads as an access sled for ski touring. He took it out last weekend and it was running super rich as it was a prairies sled before.
Anyway he went to the shop and got the proper jets for our elevation but he was told that he needs to adjust his needles up a couple of clips as well. He can't figure out how to do it and he called me. I am going to head up to his house after work and see if I can help him out. I have done a ton of work on Polaris and Skidoo carbs over the years but I don't think I have ever had a Yamaha carb apart.
Are there any tips or tricks you anyone can give me for working on a Yamaha of that vintage. He as explaining the needles to me over the phone and it sounds a little different than anything I have worked on in the past.
Anything would be appreciated.........
