How many of you guys have started your sleds already??? Just cruious to see if any one is that excited yet. Me, I just havent had the chance. I'm awaiting the signal from mother nature. :D Later

Sure have when I was polishing it last week and at the bbq to add the fine smell of 2-stroke amsoil smoke to the party :) :)

Oh yea, actually fire it up about once a month. Due again in another week or so. Last time, wash and wax, few laps around the yard. Can smell the change in the air :thumbsup:

Yup!! Started it to bring it in to the shop and stud it. (Along with some other improvements--Shhhh) :D Might have to move the monster truck to make more room. Snows comin'!

Two weeks ago i put my new running boards on and while i had it out i made a couple of passes in our yard i would of done more but it was starting to run out of gas.

Before I can start mine, I need to tear it completely apart, clean up the frozen parts, hoping that I won't just end up replacing the entire engine. Then I get to reassemble, replace NUMEROUS age deteriorated plastic parts, and then maybe it'll start. :(

Sell one of those mercedes and buy yourself a new ride wolfman :) :)

I have started my EXT a couple of weeks ago. As soon as I get my F7 I will definetly fire it up.

Not yet, but as soon as the weather stops being so beautiful, I'm going to start working on her.

FishHog

Nope. But I think about it every other day.

I've been starting mine daily, my eyes are not immune to 2-stroke smoke :)

Nah, I'll keep both of the MBs. I haven't touched my machine as it is just too damn hot in the summer to even think about going outside. I'm also going to wait and see what finally does happen with the NPS rules and snowmobiles. I'll base my final decision on what I buy once I know for sure where I'm going to be able to ride it.

SURE HAVE!!!

Late July was the 1st pull!! :D

i'll go to the gas station and get a couple gallons of gas for the sleds, then i'll start them. when i do start them it will be a ride straight down to the gas pumps and a ride with what time is available that day.

Yup sure did, a couple of weeks ago. Damm it smelled good! :) :) :)

Most definately. About every month or so. I need my 2 stroke fix!!!

I had mine running just a few hours ago when I was working on putting stickers and stuff on my new hood. I first started it about a month ago when I first got the engine reinstalled and everything hooked up.

I store my sled with all the reg gas removed and then I put about 2gal of vp red(race fuel) race fuel has a very good shelf life. Then I just start them at least once a month. :D

I wish I could start it. Need to get it all together first..

Yep,

I spent yesterday afternoon installing a RacePak EGT Gauge and then decide to to some late season airation of the lawn.

Just moved into a new house so the lawn needed to be christened.

The neighbours think I'm nuts.

The smart @$$ next door says "Great snowmobiling weather isn't it?"

I started mine back in April. My project that is!

:D Once or twice a month, just to keep the beautiful smell in the garage!!! :D SWRules :blahblah:

Cool, I didnt think many people did start their sled just to smell them.:) I also fell the change in the air. It's going to be here soon, I just know it.

Not yet, hopefully soon though :)
Ryan

oh yea every couple weeks :thumbsup:

Holy cow, its only like 50 here and cloudy as a mofo. Suppose to get really cool tonight. I can't wait to start mine for the first time and smell that oh so wonder smell.

Yeah this weather sucks. Suppose to be close to 90 again tomorrow. Last thursday and friday highs were in the mid 50's and I was getting pretty stoked thinking fall was finally here.

Should be getting them out of storage in another week or 2. Picked up some new studs and some other goodies at the show and swap meet in grayslake IL. this weekend. Can't wait for the snow :)

Yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day befor eand the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and thats the day I bought the sled. :blahblah: Sorry I figured if I put a lot of two stroke smoke up in the air, it would snow, so far I have been wrong.

I actually have anothe problem.... Too dam hot in the summer. It gets bad enough down here wher you literally break into a nasty sweat as soon as you step outside. Needless to say, nothing much gets done between May and October. :(

We go ice sledding here. :0: Let an ice storm hit and then blast up and down the road a few times untill the track starts to get hot. As for snow, we haven't had enough down here yet to even make snowballs with. Winter sucks here, so I gotta drive to go play. Last winter was my first winter in 5 years that I even got to do any sledding.

:withstupid:

:withstupid:

I started mine up a moth ago. then i re fogged them, 3 pulls for the efi,5 pulls for the carb. six pulls for the triple.g

Started my 500mxz 2 pulls. and im gonna pick up my REV600 when my trailer comes in. THe mach has not been started since april and is located under a ton of boxes at the back of a shed. I got to clean it out or make a path to get at it. But it will be soon.

I run mine year round.


RIDE SAFE

Just started her last night. Had to get it off the trailer and putt it in the garage to start working on it. To get it ready that is. She started in about 5 or 6 pulls which was pretty surprising since there was no fogging, no stabil, all I did was spray some fogging oil down the cylinders, plug the exhaust, and loosen the track. Carbs are comin off anyway. Not much fuel in the tank either. Man is was great to have motor head again. My new puppy didn't like it much though. Guess thats good though. Then he won't get in the way. :D :D

My son and I go out and get em started,take a few nose hits,love the 2stroke smoke :p,the wife just shakes her head,while we grin goofily at her(maybe I should open a window),then after we shut em down,we stay in the general vicinity of them till supper,then head back out and do it again :D ,the weekends are usually the same,only with more friends,it all started when I got my Sept.issue of snowtech!And after last season :( we need our snow fix more than ever!Pray for cold and snow!

Yeah, my mother does the same when my dad and I start ours up and your faces glow. She just sits there and shakes her head. Like what's wrong with those two. But, if she only knew what was going through our heads on that first start up. :D

Tore the hell out of the grass the other day! :D I hate cutting that crap so it didn't bother me one bit! My neighbor dared me to run it up and down the dirt road, so i did that too! I blew by him with 1.5 inch lugs covering him with dirt and rocks! I was loving every bit of it! :D :D :D

Haven't had a free weekend yet. School needs to give me some time off so I can go home and get Frankenstein ready.
