hi all, new to this forum but hoping i can get some help here. i recently purchased a couple of old sleds for quite cheap from a teacher at the local high school, after sorting out some issues with the first one, a 78 arctic cat el tigre 6000 i picked up a 197? arctic cat pantera, and i cant get the bloody thing to idle, i have ripped the carbs apart and thoroughly cleaned them 3 times (i was shown how by a mechanic with a passion for sleds so im sure they are nice and clean) changed plugs(have spark), replaced fuel filter, everything simple and yet whenever i start it it will idle for about 5 seconds and stall out unless i choke it, my friend suggested that gas may be getting by the choke plungers? not sure what he meant by that, i have also sprayed the seals to make sure its not a seal, thats what i had issues with on the tigre, clutch engages good, doesnt drag on belt or anything runs on both cyl but just seems to flood or lean out and die(fairly new to this so im not really sure how to tell the difference) anyways sorry for the long post, just hoping to get this sorted out because it seems like it will be an awesome machine, has lots of power when it wants too, a good example being the time it took off because the throttle stuck open and drove itself into the garage...... any good fiberglass repair tips?:blush: anyways thanks in advance, also it is an early model with a 2 cyl 500cc free air spirit motor and 2 vm32 round slide carbs. also any good part stores in the leduc/edmonton area would be appreciated info
