well i pulled the carbs off my zrt yesterday and saw that there was wires going to all 3 of them..i unscrewed them and on the one side it looks like a little heater rail is this possible i have heard of some sleds having heated carbs..

I know my wife's yamaha has heated carbs on all three but its not electrical, if I remember correctly its with the antifreeze.

that may be a kill mechanism. the carbs off my '94 ZR700 had wires going to them, and apparently it was a magnetic switch so if you let off the throttle and the slide doesnt return, it kill the ignition. so it works with the kill switch in the throttle lever.

every heated carb i've seen was heated by coolant off the engine.

Carbs are heated by coolant/anti-freeze, not electricity.
