I'm a new member here so bear with me. I have a 1990 Sno Scoot that is not getting gas. I'v checked lines and filter and it will start if I give it a spray of starting fluid but dies after a few seconds. Any Ideas?

Have you cleaned the carb?
P.S Welcome to the forum.

welcome to the forum most of the times cleaning a carb will cure these kind of issues. not always but great place to start and cheaper 2

I guess the consensus is to clean the carb. Is there any easy way to do that?

pull it off. and take each piece off in a well lite area.(droppsies happen trust me) tear it all the way down. then use an air compressor and blow the snot out of each hole to make sure its clean. then clean each piece before you put it back in. your done. ( nice to dunk all the parts in parts cleaner solution if you have it)

So I won't need a carb rebuild kit or gaskets?

you might need a rebuild kit...but just go ahead and pull it and clean it like those guys said...its worth a try...
