Thanks to Jay my sled runs now. We took the carbs off again, took them apart and then put it back together. The sled would immediately rev way up and take off like a bat outta hell. Found a service manual for the sled and we went through how to adjust the throttle cables and found the right cylinder piston in the carb wasn't dropping down so it was WFO. We fixed that and then it fired right up. We adjusted the idle and it should be good to go. Needs carbides and tags now.

wheel doesn't have to come off. I have half the dash apart still, so All I had to do was remove the tilt lever, 4 screws, and the key surround

She's getting checked in now. It's gonna be a long day. The border that lives in my basement is stuck in the ditch a mile from the house. He called and asked me to pull him out as we were walking out the door for the hospital. He'll have to wait.

Good morning Jim! Good luck to your wife today.
Good morning Phil!
Sounds like he may just have to call a tow truck instead.
