Yeah the seafoam is a great idea. They aren't too too bad (I've seen way worse* But clean them for sure!
 
well i just got back gonna put the sea foam to work i no it dose wonders in my car ill post reslutls after um do i need to clean the space where the power valve goes in to the block ? if so whats a good method.
 
Pencil with a rag around it, Just scrap everything out. Just so it doesn't fall into the cyl.
 
Make sure they are adjusted correctly also. Search for "power valve" under the username Daman. He has a great, easy to understand post about it.

Nik!
 
I've seen worse too but i'd clean em up better then that,you can get them
spotless no carbon left,sea foam won't touch the carbon on these P'Vs not
a strong enough solvent you'll need a stronger cutter like something that
works on carbon or i use paint stripper.


then like Nik stated adjust them..
 
well i was looking at the ypvs i noticed that one of the cables was loose so i pulled on it come to find out it was snapped so im just gonna take the sled to the garage and have them do all the work lol i have a 1995 artic cat zr 580 that i blew up last year im selling off to some one 200 bucks that should cover most of the bill the garage is gonna cost.

Those two top cables look brand new also. I wonder why the previous owner didn't replace all three is two broke.
 
Yeah, LOL! it's a simple fix. Even I can do it! I thought I would just post that CLR works really good for removing the carbon. I let mine sit in a CLR 50% to 50% water mix over night. The next morning my finger nail took it off. Of course after I let it dry for a few mins, I guess the CLR lifted and dried out the carbon!
 
nice ya really don't think that sea foam would work every one talks nice about it and when i run it in my car i can feal the difference ya no the but check o meater. lol but i also have to get my w arm welded and im gonna have the guy at the shop do it also shouldn't be no more then 2 hours of shop time i would think to fix all that maby 3 so like 180 ish to fix every thing then im redy to rid this year i payed 2000 4 the sled btw
