Popular Post CFM Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2021 Friends said not enough snow to ride. Yup, okay, not enough. Bye ! Lol. Few hundred miles of bliss.

Can you fix the motor that was in it or better off getting a used one? The one thing I'm real happy with on my Cat is the motor. 600 ctec, just rolled 7100 miles, no issues, knock on wood, not even a fouled plugs.

I haven't taken it apart but anything is fixable but in the interest of time I'm looking into a reman exchange with warranty. This is my wife's sled and we're keeping it. A low mile used motor is $1200 and a crank up reman is $2000. Last 600HO I rebuilt myself crank up cost me $1200 in parts alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still snowing like crazy when we drove through there on our way home today. That entire area is looking pretty prime for my ride next weekend at this point. Time to see how this week pans out though first. A lot can change before next Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 6 hours ago, Shifty said: I was really hoping the issue with my sled was the throttle safety switch. I took it out and taped it open according to the inter-webs but it still cutting out and throwing the engine light up. Hoping my buddy the service manager at the local dealer will hook me up. They have a month back log on service though What sled again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got back from the shop. My guy hooked it up and cleared the code but it’s still cutting out. Code was Throttle position sensor. They say it’s a thing with them. I left it. He’s going to squeeze it in for me but not until early next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ski Doo is right at the top of that, despite how good they are. My god man, all I'm trying to do is change the damn fuel pump gaskets. To do that required the removal of most of the plastic, the exhaust, the chain case cover(cap but I had to change the oil anyway so cover for me), the jack shaft and secondary clutch, the belt, the air box & carburators. Da fuck is that shit!?!? After all that you still need midget hands to fit in there. It's just crazy, man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Kivalo Posted February 8, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted February 8, 2021 Oh and of course I should have known the fuel tank gasket would leak when I put fresh gas in. I didn't but Ishould have but instead I had to clean the gas off the garage floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
