I sent a set of shocks to Mike Carver for a revalve/upgrade and am making a list of shit I want/need on the shelf now for spares or otherwise, before winter rolls in and there's another parts shortage.  

Anyone actually get their new 2022 sled(s) yet?

 

 

Saw some turbos and a zr7000

That is a little above Greg's pay grade. Happens when daddy pays for everything.

Hope you are healing up well from surgery!

I know this is a hard concept for you to understand so i will explain it to you. If I were to take this pile of scrap to the closest dealer that is 200 miles round trip asking for a sender update and warranty work on a sled out of warranty, they will politely show me where the dumpster is and tell me to put in there.

Well first off, you admitted to riding down a hill while pulling a wheely, unknowing that there is a washout at the bottom. Secondly, why would your dad not insure something his spoiled rotten kid is for sure going to wreck? Are you retarded, like the Governor of Minnesota? Rode the short buss to school as a kid? Pull head out of your ass and think once in a while for yourself.

holy fuck...

ordered trail passes this morning... hope that doesn't jinx us.

My kid keeps getting on my phone some how and ordering parts to finally get the Thundercat done. I think the only thing left that I need is a track now.

if you have an old cat check Thomas sno sports for parts, they had a bunch of NLA stuff I needed in stock.

I think he may have bought a couple of old dealers inventory. I've paid him before and he completely forgets and I have to call him weeks later to remind him. One time he didn't include a bunch of stuff that was for my buddy and the guy seemed surprised it was part of the deal and I have to show him screenshots. The worst part is simply having to talk on the phone with the guy, he's just like in the videos and my energy doesn't exactly match well with that

You should try hanging out with him for a couple hours

I am a tick under 1000 miles for the season. I might go ride to town and back tomorrow just to brake 1000 miles for the season but I am done until after new year. Too many people rolling into town. My brother came up and road a modern sled with me and my dad for the first time in probably 30 years. The last time me and my brother road a snowmobile together was in our backyard when we were like 10 and it was 2up on a 1980s jag. We road about 200 miles over the last couple days and that’s a lot for him. It was a lot of fun for all of us.

Back to working on the Lynx. The Tillotson is trying my patience...

Forgot how much I like USI X2 skis on trail sleds.

Dad’s on his way back from Canada riding. They burnt one skidoo to the ground and crashed a truck. Sounds like they had a good time.

Crappy day to be outside, so I got the Enticer ready to go racing and FINALLY got the Lynx running decent.

Your lynx have a wankle in it?

Found out they also rolled a new thunder cat/sidewinder multiple times. Can’t wait to hear the story when he gets back lol

292 single.

Not sure what happened to the Wankel "market". You used to hardly be able to give those things away. Not when you find them, if the motor turns over it is like $500 minimum and if it is a whole sled, like a grand if it is decent.

this...

fuck Stud Boy and fuck their lightweight fucking plastic piece of shit fucking backers. aluminum plates and good old fashioned nuts are on the way. previous owner (lol) has gotten an earful the past two days. fortunately we both have a good sense of humor.

You've lost your stud status

I think they figured that some studs falling out would help cover up the sled pushing because their shitbox carbides are pretzels after the first road crossing or trailer loading.

Trying to get my project Jag ready for the weekend. It had a little track rubbing noises from the tunnel. Found the 92 tunnel wear strips are thicker than 93+ by maybe 3/4" and I have dropped my tunnel to 93+ height, and a little bigger lug track too. I tried grinding some tunnel strips down, but still noisy. I'm not even sure if the noise is from the tunnel strips but it does look like there was contact. So I dropped skid and removed tank and replaced the strips with the thinner ones. And then replaced the fuel tank with one I had, the current one had a cracked filler neck and was leaking. Some clutch parts coming this week hopefully tomorrow and I'd like to do a little testing tuning the next couple nights before riding this weekend. I hope the track rubbing noise is gone, doesn't make noise on the stand but I don't think it did before when on the stand.

7/16ths seemed kind of big when the guy who did my thundercat motor told me what size holes to drill for the Hooper ports but now that they’re drilled they definitely seem too big 😂

They’re on a 45 so they’re enlogated. I sent him the picture and he said they’re good to go. Probably worth a few hundred rpms with all that weight out of there 😂

problem solved... is next?

Now that my Lynx is up and running, I'm eyeing up my "Big Box of Traction" and thinking I should shove a few Cat Claws on it.
