I just rebuilt my carbs. A little heat and an impact tool was a big help for getting all those screws out. I got the carbs rebuilt and back in the ski and it actually ran! Much to my surprise. My next problem that I ran into was with adjustments. The ski had a very low idle after the rebuild, sometimes low enough that it wouldn't stay running. I went to adjust the idle screw on carb #3 (the one the throttle cable attachs to) to turn it up and the arm that the screw attachs to broke off the carb. Just my luck. Looks like I need a new carb now
I was looking at the parts diagrams for the carbs and had a thought. Carbs 2 and 3 look almost identical, same price. Do you suppose I could swap those carbs around? It looks like I would just have to swap the pump plates and springs and levers between them. Carb 2 looks like it has that same arm for attaching the idle screw to and it's not being used. It's the arm that part # 10-12 attach.
