By the way, the thing you were calling a jet is actually a needle. The brass piece you unscrewed with a flat head was a jet. A jet meters fuel. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic video. I was always fearful about taking apart a carb. I have that exact triple engine. I just took the first carb out. I’m glad I did based on what was in there. I guess I know why it stopped running now. Thank you.
@@dabblinwithdan2895 I would lean more to something that failed. It's run fine for years, but it's always a little hard to start. Like it's losing prime maybe, so that could be it. An interesting note, it starts better with the hand pull than the electric start. It can crank a million miles an hour and not fire, but somehow pulling the string gives a better spark or something.
I would have thought you would remove the drain tube before cleaning the carburetor so that any debris caught in the tube wouldn't go back into the carburetor on reassembly
That is not the jet you pulled out. That is the float needle. That connects to the floats and allows gas in or shuts it off. That's why the tip is rubber. I love when people do how to videos but don't know how to

The second brass piece you removed is your main jet. The even smaller brass jet in front of that is your pilot jet.
Thanks for the detailed how-to. I have the same sled and it won't idle properly anymore. I suspect the carbs have gotten dirty over the years.
Check or replace the vacuum fuel pump. That could also be a problem. Thanks for watching. it's appreciated.

Your videos keep getting better.

Your watch caught my eye, you can always spot quality.
Love the off topic shit dude!
@@katpat6623 do you really just love that off topic stuff so much?
Not gonna check the float height or the air mixture screw?
What is that little tube connection seen at 11:45?
For the most part your carb cleaning skill is good but you should have took that long tube or fuel line drain off and make sure it was clean .
Great point!
Mikuneye?
