I tried taking pictures of the plugs but they didn't turn out at all. So I'll try and explain the symptoms and what the plugs look like.
-It sometimes gets a low end bog after I let it idle. It cleans up after you get moving.
-the trail in was slow and rough. It started bogging really bad on the trail like a fouled plug or blown piston. You couldn't throttle out of it. We took the pipe off. In the y pipe the pto side was white, mag side was normal.
-Pulled the plugs. PTO side was white and dry/Mag side was wet and black. Carbon was partialy "washed" off the plugs
-Put new plugs and isopropel in and the sled ran fine for the most part, but it did start to bog really bad once for at least 30 seconds. I was in a sidehill that I needed to pull. I figured it fouled plugs again. But i just drove it and it cleared up. Makes me wonder if it would of cleared up on the trail before?
-I now have it at home in the garage. Y-pipe looks normal on both sides.
-compression on my cheap guage is 145 pto, 150 mag.
-pto upper plug is medium brown and dry, lower plug is pretty dark brown but still dry
-Mag side is really dark and a little wet. Lower plug is more wet than the top. Has a bit of carbon "washed" off
-All of the plugs show a bit of carbon build up.
-Checked the oil ratio a few times. 43:1
- I noticed anti-freeze leaking on day one of the trip but never did see it leaking again. I figured it must of just leaked when I tipped it over to see if I hit any rocks or trees.
-The anti freeze is at the bottom of the jug after every ride. There's no sign of it leaking. TodayI tipped the sled on the side to inspect underneath. When I put it back on it's ski's the level was back up in the bottle. Maybe it was just an air lock? No sign of it leaking since the first day. But I have added about half a litre on two separate occasions.
