I just purchased a 2007 Arctic Cat Z570LX and put 200 miles on it in Michigan last week. On the extremely cold days I had issues with the starter not staying engaged long enough to start the motor. The starter kept kicking out therefore I had to bump start it about 15 times to get the snowmobile started. Once started there were no issues.
I was told by two Arctic Cat dealers that Arctic Cat's flex shaft starters have issues and that is the way it is. Can this be true that Arctic Cat would continue to use a faulty starter system?
Other than the starter I'm really happy with my machine. Also, can someone explain what fogging an engine is. I've read about it but do not understand exactly what that means. I live in Florida and will have to put my machine up for the summer and would like to know the best way to store it. It will be in my garage so I have easy access to it. I've made dollys to get the skis off the ground and a dolly to place under the track. It seems to be though that the dolly under the track would compress the track so I hesitate to keep this dolly there all summer. Perhaps I should built a rack to get the back of the machine off the ground and allow the track to hang. I would release the tension too.
Thanks.
