So i was out riding then loaded onto trailer . no room to put trailer into garage so pushed sled into garage,
the next day started sled to load back onto trailer (no issues yet at this point) only warmed it up to 116 f on guage tho..
Then trailered out 2.5 hours to destination. at -18C.
Parked and fired up sled.....didnt touch throttle or anything...started up but was running on 2 cyl by sound of it..
Seemed odd so just shut it off....squeezed throttle and it was very stiff and stuck at quarter throttle which is as far as i had opened it..
I took hood off and moved throttle body and throttle cable..seemed the throttle body was sticking/hard to move
I then used lock de-icer and squirted on the throtle body and cable and waited a few minutes..
The throttle then worked so fired up again..sounded like on 2 cyl. again but let it run ...
after about 30 sec to 1 min it cleared up and ran smooth on all cyl again so the day was saved
sled ran well all day except for 2 times when it stalled when pulling away from a stop.(TORS?)
The following weekend sled started and ran good but stalled at least 6-8 times when getting back on throttle (from fully released)
Seems like no free play in cable and switch where trottle pin is stiff?
Guess question is does the throttle body require any lube or just left dry and warm it up better next time, and could something be out of place due to me fiddling with it trying to get free?
Also does that sound like anyone has had that happen to them?
