super cold start ideas

Next time will fill with premium before the end of the day to ensure cold start next morning when it's in the -30 overnight.

Kaz
premium fuel is actually harder to burn and would not help that issue.

Absolutely correct.

Fresh 87 Gas will start easier than premium gas. Quicker burn.
 
wow...i can't believe nobody has mentioned this yet.....2 words - SLED START - www.sledstart.com
designed and sold by a TYmember (snowdog).

easy install, it is a keyless remote you can program lots of different ways -i.e. to start/stop your sled all night long in extreemely cold regions when it reaches a certain temp. this is exactly what it's for! also to warm up your sled in the morning while you stay in the toasty cabin.
 
Thank Peter,

Yes this is a full plug and play unit. 3 connections (all factory connectors) a hot and 2 grounds and you are done!

Tested and approved by Yamaha. Sold by your Yamaha dealer or direct from our site.

We have sold many of these to guys in the extreme climates and many to guys who just want to have a warm sled before they ride!

Start with Me!

I received an interesting belated comment to my post ‘Injection Is Cool But…’ from Angus (‘Doc’) regarding snowmobile 4-stroke operation in the extremes of the high Arctic. Rather coincidental, having just been on the phone with Kurt from SledStart. I am looking forward to trying out a SledStart on my Apex this season but not because I’m adverse to walking outside to start my machine. I think this device could be a life saver in certain conditions as it has an auto function that will self start based on preset time or temperature. I have lived in regions where the mercury falls below minus 50 for days on end. You simply don’t turn off your engine for any length of time, if you do, good luck cranking it over (doesn’t matter what it is). This gizmo will fire up the engine when it gets cold and idle until heat-soaked when it will shut down until the block cools again… SledStart looks to be well built very well thought out.
