#3 look crispy to you?!?!

JT, It runs good right, and its stock, put new plugs in and ride it. You have one plug that is darker on the edge of the shell, but the ceramic all looks the same. I wouldn't worry about it in the least.

I know you were worried about coolant temps a bit but its not using coolant, maybe just warm to temp and burp the tank above the exhaust to get rid of any air.

New plugs and ride! I think your worried about nothing. They should get new plugs every season anyway. Sometimes the plugs go bad but dont miss, the RPM just goes away, but this is usually on tuned sleds where people run lots of booster in them.

Mike, just wanted to make sure she isn't wounded.
A. Too many don't watch the signs. Then boom!!!
"I'm not sure, it was running great!" UGH....
B. I ride alone, day & night. I do everything in my power to get back safely.

I agree fresh plugs and fuel make sure coolant has no air and up than send it.

I still think something is up with those plug readings but I never had a Turbocharged motor so maybe it’s fine.

agree....the only test I haven't done is leak down. But, it will have to be.
UGH.... lean or rich?!?! Lol. I'd like to figure something out before she gets hurt.

Drain that fuel out and do a plug reading with fresh gas. Bet that gas caused your plugs to obviously be washed off. Water in the fuel.

Checking plugs after it has been through a Limp Mode, may account for that spark plug color and #3 overall richness!
Been through that mode many times years ago when I was having cooling issues, and it’s meant to run rich and also keep the sled rpm’s low by way of the ignition system, from what I remember back then!


Agree with others, empty gas tank and add fresh gas now that you may have tackled your cooling issues, and add some fresh plugs. Plugs shouldn’t have that strip of color showing your plug index!

Drained fuel, new plugs, etc. Going to change all the fluids, clean her up & get her ready for next year.
Everything I've done comes back to possibly a touch of bad fuel.
I'm also thankful to you guys & your supportive thoughts as to getting the closure I needed, on this matter.
Peace out.....

I agree with this.

BTW, I never found that raising the nose of the sled to bleed air was all that effective. Whit I did was run the sled with radiator cap off, and compress the rear of the sled forcefully several times. Like flicking the air out of a syringe. Worked great for my sled when I drilled a hole in my heat exchanger. Replaced the whole heat exchanger. Yeah I'm dumb sometimes
