Hey guys, just going to throw this out there and see what you come up with. I was given a 89 or 90 exciter a few years back, threw some gas on it and it gired right up it took off like a bat out of hell. I got down my driveway about a quartee mile or so and decided to turn around because i knew the slides were completly worn out and didnt want to further damage the under carriage. Anyways after turning around to head back i hit the throttle to take off and the thing bogged way down almost to a stall. I lt it set and after a few minutes it came back and idled fine but when i gave it throttle it would go about 3-4 feet and bog way down. If i get off the sled and pulled it backwards it would take off again for a few feet. So i looked into ut and replaced the slides an proceeded to check the side bearings and found the speedo side was wasted and the shaft was broken off at the end. I happened to have a phazer parts sled and everything seemed to fit. So with that said all that stuff seems to be fixed. However i still have the 3-4 feet of take off then bogg from hell. Ive tried coil replacement swapping fuel pump, cleaning the carb, new belt. I havent touched it at all this season as for im working on a vintage skidoo.
also check clutches i had a 90 exciter and thing did it all the time once she got going i was fine but to stop and take off was a nightmare had to lift back end up ,rev it then jump on and go. my secondary spring and other parts were wore to heck ,rebuilt and was fine plus replaceds a bunch of carb parts.. if i was to drop new set of plugs in it everytime then 50% of time she would go again . i had nothing but problems with mine. was a good little ripper when running good.
Thanks for the tips going to look into that after i get my skidoo squared away. I know the damn thing is fast as hell when it goes, on very rare occaaions it goes with no problem.
yes good point on chokes mine actually on clutch side was all rusted up had to replace also
