I have a 93 Skidoo MX 470 the sled was running great the other day when i pulled it out to clean it up and do some maintenance to the tie rod ends and seats. I thought while I had it out I would give it a wash and armorall the track it ran great before I washed it, Then I went to start it after I washed it and it will not start for the life of it. I changed the plugs, flushed the tank, new gas, new fuel filters, let it sit. I have no damn clue what happened. It gets perfect spark, compression and gas, but WILL NOT run. Please Help Me THanks, Jon

I pulled the carbs off both bowls have a chalky, greenish, yellowish substance in the bowls and on the needles, must be from sitting with bad gas in them I would imagine, however it was running fine with them dirtied all up like that before. but they are very very dirty. gonna clean them up and see what happens.

Intake / Tie Rods

Alright its all back together and its running good, however I was wondering if there was a way I could eliminate that whole Airbox Snorkel set up thing and replace it with something aftermarket and smaller in there, would that be possible? would 2 cold air intake style filters work hose clamped on the end of each carb? and also where can I find , Tie Rods, ends, control arms, and ends, some are bent some ball joints are bad. Just wanna redo them right away while its out.. ? Having a hard time finding that stuff.
