Pics eventually can't find camera cord atm and just got home from a 8 hour drive.

Picked up a FL350 with a 1994 Liquid Jag 440 motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) w/ oil injection. I'm the 4th owner. Paid $1800

1st owner was handicapped so he bought this new because of the hand controls. Naturally didn't beat on it much because of he muscular dystrophy.

2nd owner bought it and had a 440 Jag motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) professionally installed. I'll have to take pics as I'm not sure what stock looks like but guy I bought it from pointed out some stuff they did. Has the Arctic Cat primary and Secondary clutch on it. Looks like the frame above the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) was cut and rewelded in a different shape? Does not looked hacked together at all, actually looks done by a shop. A radiator/fan from a pilot is installed. He owned it for 10 years and I guess didn't use it too much during this time.

3rd owner has had it since late 90's where his kids only road it for less than 10 miles. He didn't trust them on it with the 440 motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) and all so it sat a lot, and sat completely for the last 2 years.

Now I own it. It's running on one cylinder but we were both betting very old gas. It has strong spark and 120 psi on both cylinders. So it has spark and good compression but fuel smells old.

Front tires are new, rear tires have less than 100 miles on them. Got extra set of rear rims that are very light weight.

Whole machine is better shape than I was hoping. Will get pics up eventually. Has mirrors on it still and all the plastic is there. None of the fenders are cracked.

Hopefully an easy fix on the running on 1 cylinder and look forward to fun summer. Already have a 06 Polaris Predator Cross Country Limited Edition. So this was just a second toy to change it up and for gf/buddy to ride with.

Awesome! I was hoping it may be on here but haven't had time to look yet.

Just opened up the carbs and green slime all in them but gotta go get a funnel to put fresh gas in.

How come after I take the carbs and clean them It wont even burp or do anything. Spark plugs are dry as a bone. I'm wondering if I do something wrong because I just sold an old sled that would stumble but not catch so I cleaned the carbs and after that I wouldn't do a thing.

<.<

Definitely fuel getting to the carbs as the float bowls fill and I see the fuel moving in the fuel lines up to carbs. The floats themselves were fine. I can see through the main and pilot jet. Sprayed all the holes with carb cleaner. Hosed them all down. After doing this twice the spark plugs wont even get wet (although the one side is getting little oil spray on it?)

I had to use torch tip cleaners. My jet holes were totally cloged.

I can see clearly through the jet holes though. I dunno I'll go poke around a bit more before it's suppose to be rainy and 40's later this afternoon.

Before I touched anything it is acting like it wants to start now. Every other pull it stumbles a little but won't catch.

Does anyone have a stab at what the stock/factory/starting point for the carb settings would be. I'm pretty sure I had set the carbs back where they were after cleaning them but thought I should try checking first before I pull on this thing for 40 minutes when it's a simple half air screw turn from running fine.
