was wondering if it was alot of work to get to the carbs? I have 96 vmax 600, and I just wanted to FOG it this spring. I was told to spray fog into the carb. how does one get to the carbs? Do I just remove the screws from the airbox, and lift that out? or is it much more complicated then this? any hoses or wires to remove first? or just unscrew it, and lift it out, and spray into the carb opening? thanks ,pete
 
also, any fuel shut off on this sled?

my brother has 88 polaris 500 trail, and he has a fuel shut off lever on his oil box, I dont see one on this vmax..thanks
 
Just take those screw off the top of the airbox. One of them has the coil attached. Pretty easy to do I have a 94 and should be the same.
 
thanks sandman

so, all I do is take out the screws, and lift up? whats this coil your talking about? is it something I have to disconnect? i am really mechancaly defecent..haha, and I dont want to mess anything up, but I dont feel like paying someone $100.00 to fog something that may take me 5 minutes. does the whole big airbox come off? or just the top of it? thanks again, Pete
 
way easy dont pay hard earned money fer easy job like this. Any trouble(wich I doubt) jost post lots of help here.
 
should have sync nipples just ahead of the carb body on the left of carbs with rubber caps , just pulloff caps ( get a tee fitting and hose and make a setup to go on each nipple and other end to can spray liberally!
 
I check my airbox every year at the beginning of the season to make sure no mice got in there. A good habit to get into. I also make sure i use a magnetic screwdriver so i don't loose any screws.
 
haha,, remember who your talking too...lol

look at your intake(in front of the carbs)you'll see a tube like thing that
conects the two carbs at the intake boots.
 
is it #10 on this picture?

If so, do I just remove that whole assembly?

thanks daman

now one last question....do I remove that whole piece including the tubes? or just the little box part on the top and leave the tubes in...then when i remove whatever im removing, I spray the fogger right into these two ports? and this is just as good as spraying into the carbs? and I can do all this while having the engine running? I appreciate all the help on this board.... the begining of this week, i knew nothing about snowmobiles, so far after this board, i learned how to change a belt, change chaincase oil, grease the sled, and now how to fog. all easy stuff for everyones standards, but im really not a mechanic, I can fix your pc, but give me a screwdriver, and im lost...LOL!!!!!!!...thanks, Pete

yes that tube is all one pice,remove the clips and pull it strait up then shoot
the fogging oil right in there,goes right in to the motor same as the air box
yes with the engine running.

if it wants ti idle to high use bottle corks to plug the holes just drill a tiny
hole through the cork so your straw for the fogging oil goes through it you'll
need ttwo can of oil and a buddys help, it'll want to stall so you'll need
to be giving it a little throttle,tricky but you can do it,works good..
