Hi,
I got the carb out the side, never could figure out how to get the tank off! Anyway, now I've got another question. Once I took the carb apart to clean it, the main jet is in a plastic holder, the holder is threaded on the inside at the top for the main to screw into. Below that threaded portion I can see more jet openings inside (my Honda has the needle jet below the main jet holder) Does that plastic holder come out to clean the jets underneath? I pulled on it but it didn't budge, I don't want to break it off! I've sent my neighbor on mission to get a Clymer manual and e-mail the carp procedures down to me.

 

what year wolvy?

and 350 or 450?

 

Not exactly sure what year, probably after 2000, not sure of engine size either. It belongs to a neighbor. I'll check, but, the plastic main jet holder is probably the same on most Mikuni's.

 

Ok, it's a 350 and I think it is a 2003, at least that is the copyright year on the manual.

 

Nobody has taken their Wolverine carb apart to clean it?

 

not on a 350 mine is a 06 450.

 

Hey Chris lets see some pic's of the new project!

 

If a jet will not come out just use a wire to clear it out without removing it.

How to Clean A carb

The instuction are for Mikuni slide carb but all carbs have a main and pilot Jet which is really what you want to clean out besides all the carb body passages.

 

If you do a lookup of a 2003 Wolverine, get the parts blowup of the carb..........I am looking at #5 the main nozzle, it shows the part coming out of the body. That part, at least on the Mikuni I'm looking at, has a plastic tube about an inch long, inside the tube at the top are threads that the main jet screws into. As I look into this plastic tube there are small openings on the side that should be cleaned but there is no way to get a wire in sideways. It would be great to include a picture but I don't see any way to do it on this site.
