That is why you only run it for a short time. You give it a quick shot of starting fluid to see if any is being sucked through the crank seal and shut'er down.

smokin george Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I decided to take off the ski slides,track mats and make it a wide single since we're going to be down to one sled and use it as a sxs trailer as well. I have to pick up a couple more d-bolts for strapping down the sxs and good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I had five trailers sitting here at one time. I'm down to a trailer for each boat and now one trailer for dual duty. Gotta let the wife think she's winning lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas. Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Well I started it up. It was idling around 2300. It wasn't warm so it didn't have a chance to drop to 1700-1800. I sprayed the seal pretty good with kleen flo starting fluid and not once did the rpm jump. Now I didn't let it run that long. Maybe a minute a most. This vid is after it ran for a few seconds.

Woodtick Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 So I bought a 2010 Nitro last spring and need a cover. I got rid of my clam shell and have a single place open. The few times a year I trailer it I want it to be covered. It’s a 144 with hand guards and a 6” riser. Do I go with a oem cover or after market? The sled shouldn’t get pounded to bad being tucked up high behind my SUV. I’m leaning on a aftermarket so I can throw it on my RMK if I ever need to trailer it. I really could care less about the comments about using a open trailer. Both sleds are worth half of what a new one is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yammy OEM covers are pretty decent, imo, or use to be. I've seen after market covers on open trailers shredded/blowing in the wind as they simply can't take the abuse. If your aftermarket cover is well made and made out of a canvas type material instead on just nylon, it should last fairly decent but that is also dependent on what kind of abuse it will see? Hwy travel instead vs rural route travel, etc. Regardless, if you want to keep the machine half decent looking, purchase a soft undercover or use an old bed sheet to help stop the outer cover from buffeting against it while travelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I’m seeing oem on eBay for $190,so l don’t think there is much savings in after market. I run my sleds through brush and goat paths. I don’t show my sleds at snowmobile shows, I ride them hard and get rid of them when they get at least 10k on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way you NEED all that is if you want it or, you do it for a living. You will need a spider but socket but the rest can be improvised with about $10 worth of shit from HD and a bit of muscle. ”Clutch holder”. Contact Tool Kit to see if he’ll sell. He bought all that from that dude.... plus a fuse puller press....and bag of chips!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I don't need anything except the cover and the 14 liter fuel caddy will go on the sled/sxs . The wife has the vinyl to make the registration #"s in any color so I don't need to buy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
