1985 kitty cat. need info and help.
Posted: August 12th, 2012, 2:42 pm
i just picked up a 1985 kitty cat for my 4 year old son. i plan on getting it fixed up, even though its already in good shape. i would love some info on this sled. my little boy got hooked when we went to a sled race and they had stock kitty cats out there racing. then another dad let my son ride his sons sled. and my boy was hooked.
so long story short this sled will be riden the way it is for this year. the next year i will put him in the stocker class. and knowing my son is like me im sure he will go up from there.
So any info would be great. what engine i have? common problems and fixes?
first thing i plan on doing is the lift kit as im from michigan and reading all these posts about how the kitty cats get stuck told me right away.
right now it dose not run i think the carb is clogged up and in need of some cleaning, it runs when wD40 is sprayed into the carb. im not a starting fluid guy becouse it carrys no lubrication values to it. it also came with the wheel kit for summertime riding and hes all over me to get it running.
here some picture below.
I did about 3 hours of reading on this site and there was some good info but not much along the lines of build threads or stickys with mods so on.
i did look threw the parts vendor area and found some stuff. but some additional input would be great.
