hey guys i am having an issue i am not getting any fuel into one of my cylinders the one closest to the left side (from the pov if you are sitting on the sled) so i am getting a constant miss on that cylinder. if i give it choke it fires up so it is getting spark. what does this mean is the float stuck? should i take it apart and free it?

Time to clean all the carbs..... Then get them sync'd

Float is stuck, you don't have to take this apart. Most of the time you can let this set over night it now has gas in the float and should free itself. Realy, try again tomorow.
Sounds like a plugged idle jet...... Open it up and inspect all the jets for obstructions.

Livinloud, was this the first time you put fuel to the carbs this year?

You may want to consider draining the carbs and letting them fill via the normal method. Remove the plugs and dry them off. I'll bet you flooded it. The floats set a level in the carb. When you filled the carbs using the vents, you can exceed that level, significantly. And, where is all that extra fuel going to go?

remove the 2 fuel lines from the bottom of the fuel pumps, use a small funnel and fill lines with gas, reattach lines.you will see air coming up through lines as bowls fill.

You can blow on the tank vent or I just squirt a little gas in the carb throats and get the engine to fire up. After two little shots of fuel down the throat, the carbs are full and the sled runs on its own.
If you blow on the vent line, you may have to blow quite a bit.

RX's don't really need primed....I just crank mine and it starts reasonably quickly.
If you need a hand with the carbs let me know I'd be willing to walk you through the cleaning and setting of them....I'm not too far away.

You could bring your carbs up to my place one night and I can clean and set them for you. It may be out of your way but if you learn how you won't run into this issue next year.
