Finally got my dead 800x back. Decided to take Ski-Doo up their offer to try machine before giving it the boot. Here's the deal. I only have tomorrow to ride it since I go on a shut down at work for the next 3 weeks or more starting Monday. I've been trying to reach Bill Cudney regarding installation of some Arms I purchased but no luck. I think they are installed right, they came with some brass "fasteners" with some washers underneath them. I installed the arms with the heads of the fasteners facing down while the clutch was upside down on the bench. Is that the right way? Also, anyone know the proper torque value of the clutch mounting bolt? I as well installed a set of V-Force reeds but left the main jets alone as it is to be -37 here tomorrow. Should run crisp! Any help would be muchly appreciated!
I think Bill is in Michigan ice racing. I don't know about your Thundershift arms, but the proper torque for the clutch bolt is 70 lbf'ft or 95N'm. Good luck.
Sounds like you have the arms in right. The fastener heads should be on the spring side of the arm. If you can picture how the arm works, the fasteners should push on the arm. The correct procedure for installing the clutch bolt is to first torque it to 77lbf-ft accelerate the vehicle 5 times on jack stand, reduce torque to 63 lbf-ft then retorque to 70lbf-ft. If you have the rest of the clutching set up right you should feel a big difference with those arms!!! Have fun....
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
