Lots of people are going with 1.75 tracks now, you'll just have to be a little more consious of your riding conditions and use a scratcher if youre in hard packed or icy conditions. The only other thing I can think of to consider is that the MTX's have a narrower ski stance, so if your'e into...

As tomanytoyz just posted, try the idle adjustment knob first to see if that makes any change. I have a little different thought on what may be happening here, as I've seen it a few times before. The 4cyl motors use a coolant operated valve that controls idle thermostatically, and the red...

Be careful adding front spring pressure AND shortening the limiter straps. You'll be getting into dump truck steering pretty quick.. I run the same carbides, and although they are IMO the best ones out there, they aren't likely to be doing as much as you think on a groomed trail, or anything...

I got a reply from LoJack, and am going to follow up with them again, becauseI wasn't really sure I understood what they were replying with. They said they do not offer a product for snowmobiles, but I'm not sure why a motorcycle unit wouldn't work.. I was asking abotu a dealership, but...

I think you're better off swapping to an MTX or similar skid. I think extensions on the tip ups would cause more slider and track wear issues, and might not even give you the performance you're looking for. Are you looking to go mountain riding? I have excellent luck with even the deepest snow...

Depending on the brand/type of powder your coater uses, most cure at roughly 350-375 for a period of only 15-20 minutes, which is far less than the temp needed to weaken something like a spindle. I've powdercoated many Nytro spindles with no issues, so I wouldn't be concerned about that. I...

Funny you should mention Lojack, actionjack. I have a good friend/customers 68 Camaro here in my shop for a restoration that has a Lojack in it, and I can attest that it works!! I loaded the car on a trailer, bound for a show, and when I took off, I accidentally forgot the keys on the...

Lets not try to get too thin skinned here, folks. Nobody is saying anything bad about anything except that there are higher theft rates in certain areas. It happens anywhere and everywhere, and I think the point of this thread isn't to bash any particular geographical area, but to discuss the...

Do you know if the sled has had low compression pistons or a head shim installed? How much boost are you trying to run? The service manual shows that a compression test should yield 206psi at cranking rpm (400rpm) at sea level. I would try doing a leak down test. Sounds like you may have some...

Well said! If they want it bad enough, they'll get it. I like the idea of the hunting cameras in the trailer, but that reminded me that I've seen a security camera set up that's able to send text, email, etc or alert the authorities. Granted, I don't know if any of them would work on a...

I thought of one other thing to try quickly as well. Although I really don't like doing it, try taking the top of the airbox lid loose, but don't remove it completely, and try a small shot of a starting fluid into the airbox just before cranking it. If it acts like it wants to run a little...

Please add your location to your site profile, per site rules, thanks. The oil pressure switch/sensor is on the front of the motor, right next to the starter. I also notice that you have something that beeps right when the engine dies, do you have something else connected to the sled...

You might have to tie your power for that sensor in from the headlight. The sensor will be trying to power up from the battery voltage alone, then when it sees a drop during cranking, it could be causing a default reading. If it sees full voltage for the first time after the engine is running...

I don't run a Gems anymore, but if memory serves me correctly, you should be taping into the vacuum ports on your throttle bodies, and NOT your boost plenum anyway, which would be both boost/vacuum. If I'm wrong on this one, someone chime in and correct me because it's been a while since I've...

Finger tight, but be sure to rotate the secondary clutch back and forth as you do to be sure you don't have chain slack on the other side of the chain (if I worded that right)? Taking the belt off will do that too, but just be sure you've taken all of the slack out of the chain before 1/4 turn...

I think realisticaly it's still a small ammount of air purging out if it is, and if your afr's are ok, it's not likely something to lose a ton of sleep over, but I know how picky we all can be! lol The brake booster check valve idea is a good one, and those are definitely pretty air tight, but...

Have you tried new plugs at the same time as unplugging your control box? CO settings would be a good place to start, and if you have an A/F gauge, let it cycle and ready itself before you start it, without the control box. I'm thinking you are too rich at idle, and it's simply fouling the...

I have to say, I was a little troubled by reading this thread, and maybe a little naieve since I live in an area where sled theft isn't a big issue. I do have a couple friends in law enforcement, and just called one to get his take on it, and if he's seen more theft that I've heard about in our...
