Hello, Just inherited this sled from my younger brother. He had a severe case of "tinker-itis" and messed with quite a few things under the hood. I recently got it running after he burnt up the right piston. While cleaning out the carbs I noticed that the main jet on the right cylinder (the one that blew) had a brass fitting between the jet and the carb body. Basically it spaces the main jet away from the needle about 1/8". The left carb did not have this spacer. My Arctic Cat parts book shows the part, but calls it a jet washer. 3 Cat dealers inthe area could not tell me if both carbs should have this part or not. It would seem that this would make the thing run richer, so I'm really baffled as to why this is the cylinder that he burnt a hole in the piston. It's quite possible that he may have had the carbs swapped when it holed the piston, he can't remember and it was dis assembled when I got it. The carb had quite a bit of greenish gunk in it and the main jet was clogged up pretty good.
Thanks for any help!
