Dual carb primer kit install

[TexasTexas95]

So I'm about to get this new to me 760 on Friday and I have to install a primer kit on it. I have never seen a dual carb setup but was wondering if I could get some proper install help with the primer kit... Like detailed instructions...I have only messed with a single carb that was already primered on my other ski. I would consider using the Existing choke for now except I already hacked it off with a saw. It was corroded on there. I am a newb but with instructions I'll figure it out. I'll have tonremove the butterfly plate and then cap off the holes or something right? I dunno, any help is really appreciated.

yup - remove the butterflies and shafts.

if you got a kit for a dual carb, you should get 2 spigots and 2 blockoffs. install one in each carb.

on mine, I put the spigot on the front of the front carb, and the rear of the rear carb. I tried to put the spigots facing each other, but there was not enough room to do that.

Why do you have to prime both carbs? Why can't you just use a single primer and block off both chokes?

That's exatly what Ed Brazina does.

That's how my old one was and I'm probably going to do the same with my 2 new skis. Single prime duals that is. Unless someone posts up saying it is a no no lol...

I can single prime, haha, Im not above it. Its all goin to the same place anyhow right? So When you buy a primer kit for duals, does it allow you prime both carbs or do people just choose to prime one? I would rather just have to prime a single. Seems like a little less primer lines to get caught on something in the hull and get yanked off and spit all your fuel out in your bulkhead for the next half hour. Happened once to me. I guess I wasnt paying attention putting the hood on and knocked a primer line off my 650sx. I sat on the dock and siphoned it all out forever it seemed like. Guess I coulda just left it and kept riding till it all just magically disappeared. Nah, I did the right thing...

double prime is nice as it allows you to flood both cylinders if running away or troubleshooting.
