I saw one on Craig’s that looked decent for $650. I’d like to find one to tinker with myself. Hell, even if it didn’t run I could restore it and hang it in my garage!

The one I bought for my son years ago also didn't like to idle. I think I just cleaned the carb up and ran some Seafoam through it but it still wouldn't idle that good. When my son was ready to ride, I made sure he was ready to go right after I started it. Once underway it ran great but if he stopped for any longer than a minute, it would stall again. IIRC, it was a bit of bitch getting it to start when cold as well. Edited October 16, 2018 by irv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of the kids sleds I had were hard to start and idled rough because they spent most of their life just sitting in the garage. Once you ran some gas thru them and actually rode the sled they ran fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you ran some gas thru them and actually rode the sled they ran fine. The one I had took a lot of playing with the choke in and out. Once it finally started, the choke in and out continued until warm. I ran more than a few tanks of gas through that thing and it never changed. Could have had something to do with the year I suppose but from the reading I did, my issues were common. https://www.kittycatsnowmobiles.com/techhelp/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Got the brake assembly back in the crossfire tonight. I couldn't believe it, the bearings were $75 each from a bearing supplier and only $55 each from Arctic cat. Not often the stealership is cheaper. My reed pedals came in for the switchback today. So I will be doing that up sometime this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize McMaster Carr sold to regular people. The only time I even heard of them was at an old job I had in a machine/automation shop and they ordered material from them. Arctic Cat had the bearing in stock, so that was the only upside, no waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am putting in new reed petals and having a problem. When I test fit the reeds, they fit flat. When I put in the inside reed retainer it pushes the petals open. Is this normal?

No. The reeds need to sit flat on the block. They need to seal completely. Any light shining through as you look through the carb side is not good on brand new reeds.

I can't find anything wrong .Both reeds have the same issue. Is it a big of a deal on a cfi sled vs a carb? Here is where they are at right now.
