600XC carb removal

Just bought this sled. It'd been sitting for 15 years. Drained and replaced fuel and got her running. Hard to start and idles rough. Need to rebuild carbs.
Don't see how to get carbs off. Have removed airbox cover and 3 screws on side of air box, but don't see how to get airbox out so I can get to carbs. Thanks, Kurt

Oil '97 600XC

Just bought this sled and need Oil recommendations.
I used "Johnson Evinrude" 2 stroke in outboards and was really pleased with the product.
Can I use same in my sled? If not, what should I use?

Auggg..now I created an fuel leak

In previous post, I replaced some oil bottle grommets to fix an oil leak. The pesky OIl leak is fixed!!!!!

I needed to move the carbs and disconnect some vent tubing that runs to the High Altitude compensator so I could get my hands into the engine area

I wanted to see if the primer worked, pumped it a few times and noticed gas was moving through the lines. This morning, I noticed HUGE puddle of gas under my sled....YIKES. It made for an exciting Monday morning.

I did not know where the leak was coming from. I initially suspected the spring clip to the fuel bowl, but it seemed pretty tight. I thought maybe it was the primer jets, so I disconnected them that place that line in a vertical position, I also connected all the vent lines to the tubing.

I was tired last night and did not hook up all the vents from the Carb to the HIgh Altitude Compensantor. I connected those and put the lines in a vertical position.


Any thoughts how this happened?.

Cant find a replacement ck3 bumper in yellow, where else can i look?

Im restoring my 1999 (favorite year for decals) skidoo mach z 800, iv ordered the reproduction decals and repainted the hood and trailing arms, my front bumper is cracked and i can get a brabd new kinpex replacement but only in black and i want another yellow one, iv looked all over ebay, hudons sled salvage (i live 8 miles away) and als snowmobile in vermont as well as a few online sites, what web sites might you guys recommend? Im restoring it to brand new condition the crack can be seen in the photo showing the trailing arm paint job😠 lol hate that its cracked, might try to put the crack back in place where its pushed in and leave it if i cant find one, i was gonna use automotive bumper glue then paint it but afraid it wont match the side clutch cover, if any suggestions your opinions count!
