The CKX guy at Hay Days told me that on really warm days you don't even need to run the face mask part.

Honestly if you want more buyers when you resell it, you'll want electric start. Most people want e-start these days.

The long bar labeled 72 doesn't make sense to me.

wanted to give update to this problem. Did another spray test with the hood off this time and with the hood off you can spray directly behind the primary clutch and that indicated that seal needed replacing. Doing the spray test with hood on it's hard to get the spray behind clutch because that alignment plate is so close to the bearing. So lesson learned when doing a spray test. thanks for everyone's suggestions. Seal replaced and idles perfect.

I wish it did but it doesn't.

Impressive, only other brand I've ever seen with a crap ton of miles on them like that is Bergstroms!

Thanks Palu49, appreciate the input. I'm going to the spray test again one last time even though I couldn't tell any difference the other two times I tried but maybe I wasn's spraying enough. I will try swapping an IAC - hoping it's that. I will double check the Power valve cable length and see if it's within spec. I didn't quite fully understand what you meant for sure when you said: Injector pigtail some carb clean, piece of hose and a 12v source is all you need for that.

If a sensor was not working properly - do you know - would it throw a code or no?

Coolant temp normal reading, nothing out of the ordinary.

no it does not.

Hoping to get a little help but I'm seeing high idle on a '15 6000 (600 ctec2). Upon initial start up, 2200-2500 rpm, but then when running it and coming to a stop 3500 rpm. throttle cable checks out, it has slack and is not tight. throttle body shuts all the way. Can't seem to find any air leaks with starting fluid. new reeds on last year. On occasion it does start kind of funny and backfire a bit. . Not a lot of these I can find where people with 600 ctec2 had high idle. I've seen where it could be the IAC, or maybe an injector. Any insight would be great as I'm kind of perplexed, thanks in advance. Just looking to solve without taking to a dealer as we don't have a dealer close by anymore.

I would think Jim R would know every little detail. Someone should get ahold of him.

I really like that they added purple back in. I think they should have done so on more models.

That right there is the key. Let's say they release something in for 24. Will they just release BNG for 5 years straight after that? It's a serious question based on how they've been doing things.

So if this was a mistake and they aren't reintroducing the 7000, then that tells you how bad Cat's marketing dept is...well er lack of marketing dept.

Actually, to your point, I think they should off a no graphics option when ordering. So many guys put wraps on anyway.

Cant wait for Heidi to come out reading a teleprompter, along with the social media guy and the president and they can all talk about how they never rode sleds before so they wouldn't know a good sled from a good lawn mower. They Troy walks in and tries not to show his embarrassment having to work with these people.

Taiga's will be fast. But impractical for those who like to put on the miles. You have to be guaranteed a charging station at every stop or your f*kd. But I don't doubt the torque would be awesome.

LOL. Ya can't wait for Heidi's presentation. And the social media guy who lives in Arkansas. Should be amazing. Textron really knows how to compete....

Well, they didn't sit on their hands. Cat has a lot of pressure now.

Agreed. Refine the procross with some nice updates, Keep the general look - because it's the best looking sled on the snow - but make it next gen looking. I personally don't see how they don't come out with new/updated chassis for 2023.

besides scratchers could there be a track design that somehow throws snow up to the cooler easier?

what are the conditions around this area now?

I feel like Cat's new chassis is happening this spring. It's too overdue and I think they know they can't wait any longer (but can they get all the parts for a new chassis is the question). Also, agree that yami had record sales but don't know if they get the new chassis as well or just Cat.

I saw that same video above and it got me wanting to try it on an old clutch before doing it on a newer one. I agree the spider taking off seemed to the tricky part. I think having a long enough tool for leverage is key along with the heat. I imagine one of the portable torches would be the best since they don't get as hot as the big ones. Looks like it's a matter of making your own tools too like this guy did.
