Exactly. I still haven't taken it back apart again but would estimate it takes 40lbs of torque to get it started and then once it is moving, 10lbs seems accurate. No I was not turning it over every step like I should have. In your opinion, should I continue assembly or begin disassembly?

Working on finishing some motor work and I have been following the manual and have gotten stuck. I have the cams back in and everything seems to be going smooth and all timing marks line up. After I installed the tensioner, the manual says to turn the motor over several times and this is where I...

I finally got a chance to start this project and got the subframe off along with the sump cover. The bottom end is full of metal and I am leaning towards looking into the counterbalance shaft bearing. Is there a way to get at it from the bottom end without pulling the entire motor? There is so...

I purchased a used Nytro for parts a while back and am going back and forth between parting it out or keeping it running. It currently starts, runs, and drives as it should with zero warning lights on the dash. Only issue is a very annoying tick in the motor and I am looking for some thoughts on...

I have a troubling issue with a 2011 Apex XTX and was looking for some advice. First thing in the morning, sled turns over and attempts to fire but sputters and won't actually start. Temp was cold (-20F) and eventually the battery died. We tried to jump it with a vehicle and same thing. Close...

Thanks all for the feedback. I really just want to get the Nytro as my back-up sled but can't see putting my son on one at this point. Probably will just jump on the first good off season deal and be ready for next winter. He currently rides a Polaris Fusion 600 and loves it. He can make due for...

I am looking for some suggestions on a second sled purchase. Living in Iowa, most of our local riding is done in ditches from town to town, virtually never groomed. I currently have an 09 Apex that I ride on our family trips to MN and WI. I am looking to add a back-up sled that is more suited to...

SOLVED...Just to update, I was following back some wires and started to notice some evidence of a mouse. One frayed wire later with a butt connector and some heat shrink tubing, up and running again. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

But surely I can rule out the battery if it is connected to a battery charger.....right?

Well I must like to do things the hard way. When I had everything apart to swap the plugs, I failed to test for spark and put everything back together. I pulled it apart again today and tested one plug only (pto side) and zero spark. I'm assuming the rest are similar but didn't test each. I'm...

Pulled my sled out today to work on clutches and decided to start it up. Battery was at 12.0 volts and nothing worked when I turned the key. I hooked up a battery charger and when I turn the key, I hear the fuel pump engage and the gauges light up. When I try to start it the sled tunes over but...
