Xm fuel line problem

[harper44]

Just open up the right side cover, you can see the nipples. The return line is the inside nipple, this is the one that breaks.

You guys are hard on equipment

I remember seeing a guy on an xm getting towed out of clemina earlier this year because of that. They were pulling him till the big climbs then filling his sled to ride out of the bowls.

with or without recoil start?? Does the recoil saddle cover the nipples??

My machine is an estart. Not sure if the recoil covers this up but the problems seem to be primarily with the estart machines

I don't mean to be rude to the guys that are looking for pics, but take your airbox out and have a look. If you have a recoil you won't see it very easy anyway. I had to feel how much clearance there was.

I think the pics were asked for beacause of the fact that some documentation of the incidents versus a few people stating thaty know of or had the issue would better describe the issue....

But thats ok, no rudeness was taken, I am a guy who will take pics of anything of a concern, just so i have something to go back on if I am questioned, and if someone asks for advice it makes it easier to describe....

Not the airbox mounted on the hood. the airbox on the throttle bodies.
Yah can't miss the fitting, it's the 90deg plastic fitting on your fuel pump, it's hidden by the vent hose on the oil tank. as I stated earlier.

Maybe the recoil handle "cup" is what saves the pull starts? Looking at it, it secures the oil tank to the fuel tank so they can't move independantly... If that is it, cheap fix.

I'm kinda dissappointed the Poo guys aren't offering any solutions to our problems? We were more than obliging trying to help them get through there problems with good solid idea's.....

Im sure brp has plenty of pics of the failed parts already
I shared how that group managed to get their buddies sled out under its own power, so others can put the necessary tools in there sleds until brp comes up with the fix. Ive seen the problem first hand. I now have the necessary tools because I ride a xm.

Ic, ummm if you sled is a pull start and you want a better look, remove the recoil mount off your oil tank. You'll see it for sure.

Getting back to the topic of breaking fuel lines........

Has there been any broken fuel lines on pull start sleds? If it really is a problem of the oil tank moving independently from the fuel tank, then I can see why the PS sleds could have an advantage. The cup secures the two pieces to each other. Anyone have any thoughts?

Did a little google search. Doesn't look good when it breaks

So this is what a problem threat looks like!!!!

You guys with estart don't put a secondary pull start on??? I bought an XM SP off the showroom floor, that was ordered with the estart but I paid the extra $300 to have a PS installed. I like the idea of having two different methods of starting it, if the estart were to fail (when it's -35 for example) and it has already saved me once. I recommend getting a PS in addition to the estart, especially if it fixes this fuel nipple issue!

Thanks for the vid. Now I now know where to look and it DOES look pretty serious. Could we get more pics on a trail fix cause that doesn,t look that easy to get at. Small list of tools would be of added appreciation.
