Couldn't find one in my manual - there was a guide to rebuilding carbs awhile back but I don't think it ever got posted due to some problems. This was the "how to" rebuild guide someone had developed. I decided to get mine rebuilt by Jim Wallace in FLA.

I've been bending wrenches for a long time, and I don't think I've ever seen a "skamatic" for any carburetor. Most carb kits come with easy instructions. Some even have pictures to help explain the text.

This might be what you are looking for although it may not be clear enough to be of help.

David Ahl's restoration guide has the carb rebuild article along with the exploded view.

I think the carb sheet in your link is probably what Bubba is looking for, but I wouldn't call it a "schematic." (OR a "skamatic.") ;)

A carb. for the new Ronco Ski-Matic, an aid for use in winter-time downhill sports?

Relax about spelling Bub, I can't and Lifer has had fun with that also. No big deal.

I know the carb. info. is not clear and hard to read but I now have a new scanner, installed last night and will try and repost the info. tonight and maybe it will be easier to see (I hope) :roll: Carter

Not to pile on, but it seems more important to ask "why?" Is there a problem with the carb, vehicle acting strange, what? This group has laser accuracy to pin point issues. I learned enough when my "carb time" came that scared me off of trying to rebuild it myself - as Dirty Harry said "every man needs to know his limitations!"

Now if I gave my son the carb scheme, he'd have the thing torn apart into 100nd's of pieces just to see if it was correct!

Ok I have misplaced where the large ball barring goes in the carburetor. Any one know where it goes or have an exploded view?
