Road mine today for first time in Allen. Have mbrp can from my 14 an no issues. Pulled hard an ran crisp all day on clicker #1. Played with throttle on trail verying rpm, but once at trail head it was balls to wall. So I guess 6.5 km breaking. I'm down to 80% left to breakin. Ran with a 13 xm an out climb him by 30 ft. An not far behind new 174. Great day. Snow is starting to set. Trail was good. You have to start to go into little tougher areas for fresh snow.

Ok cool, good to know. You should come out for a rip some time

Make sure it is warmed up before using reverse Dan and it will go into reverse no problem. If they idle low they kill the engine when switching directions.

Thats the thing, it was up on the hill, when the sled was warm it wouldn,t work. It was pointed down hill and was idling low so I tried to give it a little gas
to keep the idle higher but wound up aborting the mission...lol

Went out for test ride worked good. Loaded it on trailer but when got home it fired a couple times then quit. Checked fuel and e stop. Nothing after over night in the shop. Seems like theres no power it just turns over.

Had a starting issue on my 14 last season dealer had it reflashed a couple times, new fuel filter and then fuel pump. Issues is said to be resolved but I don't know for sure as I bought a t3 and they took the other on trade. Hope it helps it was a very frustrating season last year but at least my dealer was trying.

If belt is too tight it can die as well. Most people have their belts to loose though.

Make sure throttle goes all the way to idle. If the computer doesn't see it go to idle it will go into some safety mode with no power. Might need the TPS adjusted

I was thinking snow in behind the throttle keeping it open a bit.

Buddies both started in below -30. Let them warmup well and all was good. Warmed up once in alpine,only other issue was one had snow packed over the intake. Wiped it off and fired up no prob lol

When I unloaded mine at home after my revy trip on Sunday,it took several pulls and feathering the throttle at -20 to get it to fire up and stay running. Once it did it was all good.

What I've found is the etec does not like Sally pull starters. Typically if you give it a serious pull it will always go. But if you half ass it on the first try it might have problems after that. In cold pull it over slowly many times with the kill switch down to loosen things up to give it the best chance. -20 and colder warm the thing up first anyways in a garage or something that's just my personal opinion -30 cold starts can not be good for a machine

When really cold give it a good two handed pull and have you buddy crack the throttle 1/4".

Had a buddies xm do the same thing he brought it to the dealer and they said if you hold the reverse button in to long it will not activate it properly, and now it goes in reverse no problem.
