Sledhead Chat Thread

[Dazzler]

I have a couple hours left to finish off my phazer crash victim rebuild. I will start a thread for that with pics. Hopefully have it and the enticer ready for the kids to ride late this afternoon or on Sunday. That butterfly carb on the Enticer might hit the dumpster today. A round slide carb would be way easier to tune. I am going to clean it out and set the float again but if that does work I will be carb shopping. My wife is gone for the weekend or I would be at the shop now working on them. I have to wait until the kids are awake before I can leave the house and drag them along to sweep floors. The can warm up with some drive way shovelling before we go. If it keeps snowing this hard I may have to be a good neighbour and bring the skid steer home from work. I need to fix what the citiot residential plow crew did on my street yesterday anyway. Does anyone think it makes sense to slide the grader blade around a close on the top side of the sidewalk. Apparently concrete is easier to fix then asphalt. Residential plowing in Red Deer is a joke. It is always fun in the spring to back off the driveway into 8 inches of slush.

Dustin how is the stock of vintage carbs in a Camrose?

I've found that the butterfly carbs are easier for the little ones to pull! They don't last too long with the slide carb before there hand is played out.

Both my kids are girls. So they make it about an hour before they need a break. It helps to have there friend there and they just switch drivers. Every sled I owned before these Yamahas had round slides or fuel injection. I can tune a round slide carb in minutes with a good selection of jets. I might just have a worn out butterfly carb and if not I am missing a plugged port somewhere.

I suppose depending on the miles on your sled, but I would think just plugged port. I have one 300 enticer and three 340's for my grandkids and very little carb issues with them. What machine (enticer) you have? I might have parts if needed..

Dad has all sorts in the tickle trunk. What we found with his excel and the butterfly mikuni was it needed a way bigger pilot jet than you’d expect. Plugs were tough to judge on. For years we thought it was flooding and it actually wasn’t enough fuel.

Working on 88 Enticer 340. Have a 78 Enticer 340 and a 80 Enticer 300 chassis that had a 340 motor in it. I might just put the carb from the 80 on it since the motor is torn apart.

Nope still own two cats that I don't have to wrench on to go ride them. These Yamahas must be Females you have to have get your fingers greasy before every ride. Oops might have crossed the line there.

Forgot pictures But after riding a 2018 800 cat today I’m questioning the French sled in my stable. Good ride though. 100 km. Had the steering boot rupture due to ice as I’ve heard about. And needed a hammer and chisel to adjust primary clutch after surprisingly stripping the Allen head of the bolt instead of the tool. Will see how warranty covers the the bolt. Boot I’m ****ed from what I read.

Is this thing on? Haven't posted in forever.

Got a rather large dump at the farm Friday night (10"+) and the weather was perfect yesterday for a ride so I dusted off the old '89 Formula MX and we went riding for 3-4 hours. Snow was perfect, and in areas that the wind loads (trees, cutlines etc) it was over my knees. Best conditions we've had down here in some time. Nearly too deep for the old belt sander! Gonna have to upgrade it with a better track for next year.

Sorry no photographic proof was having too much fun.
