Sorry, I meant it did fire but then died. It wouldn't stay running is how I meant to phrase that. I'm going to check that the cylinders are actually getting fuel by taking the spark plugs out and pulling a few times to see if I get fluid on the tops of the cylinders

Good news, the Trail RMK started with the fuel in the cylinder trick. The bad news is the 700 RMK didn't. I tried the trick 3 times, and still no go. Should I attempt a carb clean on the 700 or is there anything else I need to check. Also there is a fuel cutoff switch near the handle bars. The...

Just have to field test them, let me know how they do, I've been thinking about ways to reduce the amount of snow build up

If I really wanted to write my sleds off, I'd register a sole-proprietorship at the registries, call CRA and get a GST and payroll numbers. And start a tour guide business targeting Snowmobiler tourists. Can't get more legit than that. Oh and if you do it right, you might actually make money!

From the second last picture it looks like your track can kick snow and ice up into it from the bottom. Would this cause a problem or is that picture just deceptive.

There is a difference between being mechanically inclined and knowledgeable. There is also a difference between being helpful, and a smug know-it-all... Just sayin'

The only reason I'm a bit hesitant to rip my carbs apart is because the sled ran fine in may when we went out. Does the crap on the carbs build up while the sled sits, or is it just built up while you're out using it?

I'm going to be checking the condition of the spark plugs, if I have spark, fuel flow, and just double check the fuel/air mixture settings because I tweaked them a bit last year. I've heard of people using carb cleaner and it damages the carbs because it's too potent, I've heard other people...

I'm very mechanically inclined, just can't ever recall toying with Carburetors. Just take them apart and wipe down the jets with brake clean?

How do I clean the carbs?

What does snow have to do with starting them? I ran them may long weekend pretty good when we got a snow storm

I went to go fire up my '98 Trail RMK and my '99 700 RMK. Neither of them started and I pulled and pulled and pulled. I tried different choke settings, different throttle settings, no throttle. I double cheked the kill switches were on, fuel switch was on, spark plug wires were attached, tethers...

I heard it's been getting lots of snow in Tumbler, I have a weatherman who drives there every day and reports the conditions back to me.

I've heard that usually your last ride of the season, because the temperature is usually warmer and the engine gets a bit hotter when you shut it off for the last time of the season, the cylinders can shrink more than the piston rings can tolerate giving the impression of a seized engine. It's...

The first sled my girlfriend started on was a '98 Polaris Indy Trail RMK. It is a 488cc fan cooled sled. We put I bet 2000 miles that first year together on it.

I'll try to make it, no guarantees as I may be out of town on Thursday

I really want to know how this sled is going to handle in anything that isn't a trail. The sled is 108 inches long (9 ft) with a 121" track. It's 464 pounds empty so closer to 650 or more with fuel, gear and a rider. It will be a nimble sled for sure, but I have a bad feeling that you'll be...

Charlie Lake had a bit of snow the beginning of last week, seen a few guys hauling ass out on their sleds. But it's all melted, even Dawson Creek had a bit

I was actually born and raised in Switzerland, and grew up in Churchill Manitoba, been living in Geepee for about 14 years now.
