carb help '72 kawi
I just picked up a '72 with a T5B motor and I took the carb apart and cleaned it, when I took out the needle, someone had it in upside down, I got the sled running but now It spits fuel out the overflow, I might check the float and see if it is sticking or needs to go 180 deg. I tried olson and Ken's sports and no one seems to have even a float or needle and seat for these. I might try a carb upgrade or if anyone has any parts for these I would appreciate an email back @ snocat_trf@hotmail.com

I got it fixed
I took the carb apart and found my error. I had the float hinge or "float lever" in upside down. This thing runs like a champ!!! I took it around the house so the kids will have a path to follow. it hauled all 200 lbs. of my butt around. The next thing I want to work on is the steering. the right ski moves before the left and I am guessing it is because of the rod connecting the two spindles is either worn or the holes where it fits is. I did not see any bushings to replace so I might have to make some.
