Went out to go for a ride a few minutes ago and let my machine warm up and all and when i was cruising down the trail i was blinded my steam or what seemed to be steam. So i lifted up the hood and there was a whole lot of steam comming from around the exaust pipe, like from under the shield or somthing, i pulled the plugs just to see if it was smoke and the plugs were burning good. Was it just water under the shield or am i going nutz???
We all know you are nuts.lol
Is it possible that snow,water or ice got in the ex.sheilding somehow? If the plugs look ok and no anti was in the cyl. one must assume thats what happend.
i wouldnt run your sled until you check your water, see if its going down or has gone down since the last time you checked it. sounds like your might be burning coolant.
Thats weird. I dont know how snow could have gotten inbetween. I would have thought it would have just avaperated the moment it came in contact. Or at least melt.
I had the same type of thing happen. I first thought it was coolant burning off, but it did not have that sweet smell that coolant gives off. I had just polished the pipe cover. What ever was left on the cover was just burning off.
Now you have me thinking about this. I have never removed the pipe cover to see what the insulation material is, but is it possible that it got damp and the steam we were seeing is just that, steam from it drying out? I keep it inside and bring it in cold could cause condensation which would be absorbed by the insulation. I had sprayed mine off, which explains how it could have gotten damp. Just a thought.
mxz21, I hear you on that.I WD40 the engine and pipe then hose it down.Water could settle behind the shield and steam away next time you ride.Maybe jwheeler posted this topic for the hellof it,to see what kind of bogus ideas we had.lol
We had alot of rain the day before and then it turned cold really fast and there was ice under the shield and down around the belly pan under the pipe.
I have an early 1970s Bombardier Ski-Doo single cylinder. I need to lower the primary clutch engagement rpm. What spring and weights would make it possible to lower the engagement of the primary clutch. Thanks for any knowledge you can send my way... Chevysteve.
I wasn't interested in a new sled. Was satisfied with my 16 4-Tech 1200 Renegade and my 17 900 ACE Renegade. Dealer talked me into trying his personnal 19 900T Renegade with a chip and reflash. Claims it puts out 190 hp.
Besides being quick,and fast it doesn't lag and handled well. So I...
Hello
My snowmobile is skidoo Formula MX XTC, model year 1995. My skidoo front light work poorly (only 3 volts given) and i was wondering where is the battery located? Or does this skidoo have battery at all? Engine is rotax 467. Anyway there is something wrong with electrics.
I ride a 2001 ski doo touring 500fan, and over the past year have spent a lot of time fixing issues with it (it was sitting unprotected in a backyard for 5 years). I cleaned the carbs, fixed some electrical contact issues, and redid much of the fuel system. It used to bog down when I went past...
First time for the season the brakes lockup and got hot. and continued to do it all day. So replaced the caliper and dot 4 brake fluid cleaned reservoir and tried brakes seemed to work fine. Go out again brake lockup.
Can my rotor be warped causing this brake up?
Thanks in advance
