It's half my own fault but still,I left a 1/4 tank of gas in the sled untreated and it froze , Right when the snow started to fly here in Wi about a week and a half ago. Took me only 6 days to get in our shop and fixit I got it running last week sunday during the packer game (gusse I didn't miss much)and I put a whole 7miles on. All from ditch riding. And tues. the snow started to melt(high of 43F). What a fun year,any one else have this problem to?
Been riding for 25 years. Tried to buy a new sled every year for the last 9 years. I was finally able to afford a newer one (1997 - up from 1980). What luck. Beautiful sled, no snow. I've still managed 650 miles. But I prefer to ride cross country (lakes, trails, hills, swamps, etc.) haven't had the conditions yet. The groomed trails have been alot of fun, but CC is atleast twice as good!!!! Hopefully February & March will be awesome!!!!!!
No I won't, I did clean the carbs, in fact I cleaned the whole fuel system and the exaust system. I had to take most of the sled a part to do it but I think it was worth it.
What gives with these new sleds? Had a '76 Polaris TX 440 which I bought a year old in '77. Had that machine for 20 years. I never once drained the fuel or added fuel stabilizer. I fired it once during the summer every year. The machine always started first pull, second if really cold. Never touched the engine or carbs, rebuilt the fuel pump once. Sold that machine and it still ran like a top. A couple of years ago I bought a Skidoo FIII and Mach Z. FIII engine has been rebuilt 3 times, Mach Z on fourth rebuild. Junk!! And yes I rebuild and clean the carbs every year. Thank you Yamaha for bringing snowmobile engine technology into the new millenium.
Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2015 polaris indy 550. I want your guys opinions on these sleds. I’ve heard the ones with the edge chassis were unreliable but I think the newer ones are more reliable correct?
We tried the group meeting last year and nobody showed but the breakfast was a hit. Anyone up for meeting again this year before the chaos begins? I will probably be coming up with Mark and Dave and going to Big Boy before we get there so if anyone wants to join us here is your invite.

I have a 2002 MXZ 700 RER Sport with Boysen reeds and MBRP can. I ride in temps from the teens to low 30”s too me it seems like it runs rich. What is my stock jetting and should the jetting be changed for the kids? If so to what?
I am sure the Thundercat is one....but what else is a fast sled.
I have a v-max 4, and now want something faster.
Please tell me what years to keep an eye out for also.
Thanks.
It wasn’t long ago that we were at the Wawa Motor Inn, just north of Sault Ste. Marie, sitting in front of a warm fire after a day of boondocking in Northern Ontario backcountry. Read More >>
