They're 12mm nuts, and there's 6 of them (2 for each carb base).
They can be a little hard to get to, but not impossible, best to take the intake plenum off for room to get your arm around and to see what your doing down there. You'll have to lift the rack a little bit at some point in time to get some of the nuts off the studs too.
Don't forget to detach the oil pump lever before you try to pull the carb rack off the motor too.
While you've got that off, its a wonderful time to check out the reeds/cages. You're 99% there once you get the rack off.

Oh, and my experience is coming from working with my old SLT 750. I had plenty of room (relatively speaking - ha ha) in the SLT to pull the carb rack straight up and out of the boat. The SL is a bit tighter to work in I know.
Maybe an SL-person would be able to interject as to whether you can lift the carb rack out of that kind of machine w/o any moving of the motor? SeaLion??

thanks for the help. but it looks like the rear carb clogged and starved my rear cylinder. i have decided to sell her cause i cant stand the thought of spending anymore money on her. she is a great looking ski and used to be a great running ski. oh well. wife wants a boat anyways. 700.00 for everything. thanks [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]
