Actually if you go a little faster it will start to heat things up...LOL

Ya, like warp speed into the earth's atmosphere

Huh


A sled on top of a deck covered or not at -20 is in the wind at 100 km a hour

Fawking rights there is wind chill

And for some reason a etech don't like to start with pull cord if you don't yank it fast enough first two pulls, seems to flood

I have found if u pull it over to free it up some before kill switch up it helps curb it from happening

The electrical start ones don't much matter it seems tho

Windchill Factor

Windchill is a measure of how cold people and animals feel based on heat loss due to wind and evaporation. In cold and windy weather conditions, the skin loses heat through evaporation much more quickly than if the wind were not blowing. Therefore, it feels much cooler when it’s cold outside and the wind is blowing. The faster the wind blows, the greater the evaporation and thus, the greater the chilling affect. This is called windchill, “real feel”, or apparent temperature.
There are a few misconceptions about windchill. The first is humidity does not noticeably affect a windchill reading. In fact, in the newest formula used by the National Weather Service, the humidity reading was left out.
The second misconception is inanimate objects such as metal, steel, wood and plastics experience windchill just like we humans do. This isn’t true. The only affect a cold wind has on these objects is that they cool off faster than had there been no wind. So as an example, if it’s -10°F outside with a -35°F windchill, the metal flag pole will only cool to -10°F, but it will do so more quickly than had the wind not been blowing. The flag pole will not get any colder than the air temperature, no matter how fast the wind blows.
Lastly, windchill only applies when it’s 50°F or colder outside and when the wind is blowing greater than 3 mph. If it’s warmer than that, or the wind is blowing slower than 3 mph, there is not windchill factor.
For us humans and animals, the windchill can greatly decrease the time for which frostbite and hypothermia kick in. If your skin happens to be damp or worse yet wet, the times decrease much more quickly. This is why it is extremely important not to overexert yourself and sweat when it is very cold outside, and you don’t want to run around excessively trying to stay warm. The sweat on your skin can make you cool off much more quickly and you may find yourself in big trouble.
There is no clear cut temperature verse time relationship for frostbite as it varies on many different factors. But in order for one to suffer from frostbite, the temperature must be below 32°F (freezing). That’s because frostbite is what happens when skin freezes, and eventually dies. Strangely, if the temperature is above freezing, but the windchill is below freezing, frostbite can occur. As a general rule, the below values can be followed:

• 
  [*=left]Wind chill of -20°F means frostbite in 30 minutes.
  [*=left]Wind chill of -35°F means frostbite in 10 minutes.
  [*=left]Wind chill of -55°F means frostbite in 5 minutes.

Hypothermia sets in when the core body temperature drops below 95°F and can occur at temperatures much greater than freezing. Wind chill will cause a person to loose body heat at an accelerated rate and as a result, can cause the core body temperature to drop very quickly.

Great info Clode and true...BUT TEX is not completely out to lunch...sorry Jeff LOL. Windchill has no real effect in a perfect world but, thats the problem with theories, it does on engine going through warm up's and cool down. ALL engine create condensation no matter what type or brand. Throw that sled on a trailer or deck and that condensation created by the engine can give you trouble.
Ever seen a fuel system freeze on a vehicle going 100km/hr on the hiway in winter? Condensation caused by the engine combined with temperature and windchill. Slow down and generally the problem is solved, temperature hasn't changed but the windchill has.
Also all fuels have a certain % of moisture in it, compounding the problem.

so you're saying an engine that cools down in twenty minutes makes less condensation that an engine that cooled down in 5 minutes?

Now we get to find out who paid attention in science class,Could be interesting.

Stored in a heated enclosed. It didnt matter anyways 4 downed sleds the first day. Mine was the least to worry about. One torn track, one motor and burnt sliders on a 174". Should of stayed home this weekend. snow wasnt great by the small area I went it to before the carnage.I'll be dropping the the Xm off at dealer to see what's wrong with it

This is true bounced little off topic and heading. All are fixed, doo is back up running like a top. Polaris has new motor, cat has new claws and 174 t3 new sliders. This group will be back at her shortly

What did the dealer figure out about the Doo?
