    Sled Cutting out with new high flow fuel pump

    I recently installed the hurricane high flow fuel pump kit on a friends sled. We are having issues with it cutting out when you stab the gas and also sometimes going down hill. Sometimes with a full tank of gas it will work great for a while. I’ve already checked the fuel line from the...

    Got a buddy’s sled here. It won’t pick up fuel after she’s down around half tank. I know it must have something to do with the pickups. Just wondering if anyone had this issue before I pull the pump out.

    Hanging rpm at 4500 and won’t come down

    I have a nytro here that is acting super weird. When started cold. It will run decent. Idle at 1500. And rev up and down. But once the sled gets hot it won’t idle well and hold rpm at 4500. Every time. The only thing I can do to bring it down is shut it off. I’ve checked throttle bodies...

    I’m up in Quebec and my sled is popping out of gear. I checked the chain tension and it seems like the tension is almost gone , I can turn the bolt all the way in by hand. There is 7000 miles on the chain. Any input would be great.

    Just clutching...... that's it!

    Isn't the old saying " I'm just stock with a bit of clutching"? The winder fits the mold. We have been doing some clutching to try to make an upgrade that is affordable but productive ! So far we have only changed the secondary helix and spring out with dalton products in two sidewinders...

    Clean your chain case

    just posting a reminder to everyone with miles on from last year. Take your chain case apart and clean the magnets while changing fluid. The magnets build up with metal filings and chew a round hole in the cover. I used to just suck the oil out of the chain case to change it. After seeing...
