How do i clean the carburetors on a 96' seadoo xp 800?

Well if you're asking this question I'll guess you don't have any experience in disassembling the carburetors. Therefore the two easiest ways to clean them are to first add some carburetor cleaner to the fuel and let that clean them slowly over the next tank or two of fuel. You can also get some spray carburetor cleaner, remove the air intake to the carburetor and spray them clean while the engine is off or while it's running. You just want to stop spraying as the engine begins to stall when the engine is running. The cleaner normally isn't flammable or at least not as flammable as the gas air mixture to the engine. Any other attempts would involve removing or disassembling the carbs and then you might disturb settings to jets and linkages that would need to be readjusted after reassembly. If you don't know how to clean the carbs you're definitely not ready to do a proper adjustment.





Good luck with your cleaning efforts..
