'04 RMK 800 Freezing Up ???

[tmurphy]

I was out on the weekend in some really light fluffy powder. My sleds carbs froze up steady. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to prevent this and is it a common thing to happen?

Do you store your sled indoors? If so, this will create condensation in you gas tank if it isn't completely full. '04 RMK......You should be able to close your hood screens/vents (or a little duck tape). That will keep out the fluffy snow and help hold a little heat in the engine compartment. Gas line anti-freeze sure doesn't hurt in cold temps.

you can also get fine covers for the foams on the intake that helped me on my old one. make sure that you have your vents closed.

Ive got powder covers overtop of my intake foam, and I ALWAYS run isopropyl alcohol (99%) in my gas, that should solve your problems

i was having the same problem last weekend. a can of gas line antifreeze and it slowly got better.

My old edge X 600 was really bad for the carbs frosting up, if i didnt have isopropyl in the gas they wouldnt defrost and it ran like crap.
