I took my warrior for a 110 mile ride on last weekend. It ran great for the first 90 miles. I stopped for gas and 15 miles later it had a noticable drop in power. I poured in startron when I got home and it started running fine within 10 minutes. Maybe water in the gas? Since I am going to the UP in one week and I am paranoid, I cleaned the carbs and checked the Plugs. The plugs were a little white but they all looked the same (cr9). I then found it to have three exhaust donuts that were completely missing (ordered copper ones). Is there any thing else I should do before I take it on my trip? Any advice would be greatly apprieciated.
 
I got the new donuts in tonight. I went for a 10 mile run and no problems. I still have a little spuder at 6000 rpm. maybe the carbs need synked. Other then that I think I am ready to go to michigan.

Glad to hear it is running better. Western UP is your best bet at this point for decent snow.
 
We are heading to Houghton. Anything is better then what we have here. I guess we got spoiled the last 3 years.
 
What's the easiest way to check the exhaust donuts on Rx1's? I keep seeing posts about them going bad and I think I should probably check mine out.
 
I did the rag test. Start up the sled and before it is completely warmed up hold two wet rags in the tailpipes. It should stall or almost stall. I could hear the leak on mine when I did this. I ordered copper donuts from sledtoyz.
