GRANDE PRARIE - Anyone work on sleds "skidoo" in particular? (not dealer fk sakes)

I have a customer who I think has got jerked around by a local shop and fked up the pinweight (did not add any) and had to bring the sled back to the shop to check it and now i think they added too much. He's working out of town a lot so does not have the means to get to work on the sled himself. I almost want to tell him to go back to stock because he can't change the pinweight himself.

Anyhoo...the guy is from GP and its a 174 and is there any one who works on Dooey's on the side that could look at his sled so I can have some competency of the parts being installed correctly? Im going to ask him to look at the secondary to see if the put the swivel washer in the new helix.

hmmph...any "side job" shops?

I'm down in Vermilion AB - I've got a Facebook page Triple T's kustomz - I can help him out for sure - only problem is I'm about 6hr drive from him - I love your kit in the 174 - I was climbing like crazy this weekend - don't stop making the boosted clutch kits - just listen to our buddy David Sebelius he is a very smart man

You could try “The Mod Shop”, they’re in GP. I’ve never used them but I’ve heard that they’re pretty good.

Yup either PFI or the Mod Shop. In my experience the mod shop is in no rush though

Swivel washer??


I got a used kit of yours from my buddy Bnorth, for my t3174 from his t3174

But I don't think there's a washer in the kit

And I haven't got around to putting it in yet

I have pulled Joey out of a snow drift once .


Then came back looking a second time ???? And guess who was in the drift ????
Hahaha

He wasn’t feeling well due to elevation changes .

Good evening. I am the guy that was having the clutching issues. I want to give Joe a big thanks for helping me out and getting someone to help me check the clutching and also teach me how to take the clutch apart. Definitely a stand up guy that stands behind his product. PS your buddy Ross is a great guy taught me lots.
