The first time I cleaned it I just sprayed and prayed, didn't check for debris. The bowl was caked in brown stuff and some floating in the fuel that was in there so the jets were probably clogged. It's been thoroughly cleaned twice more in the last week. I will check to see if the crank seal spins with the crank. I'm just trying to make it to the end of the season, full overhaul of entire sled is going to happen over the summer.
I'm sourcing a cylinder right now, what can anyone tell me about exciter cast numbers? Mine says 569cc 86M00. If I can't find one with that same cast number, are there others that are compatible? I've already ordered a new piston kit at standard bore of 73mm
