Those sleds are so absolutely retarded.

You still up North? Where was that Jackman? 

Yeah, we ride out of Jackman, and have rented a place up there for the past 10 years or so.  Put about 500 miles on before heading home today.  We hit some really primo stuff north of town, north of Pittston, and down to Seboomooc to Northeast Carry.  But the fields and many connectors are baked, and they need more snow for sure, 2-4" tonight will help a little, but they really need more.  I did measure about 14-15" in one spot we were in.   Smoked a deer at slow speed coming back to town on Thursday.  Big doe just came flying out of the woods after my brother drove by and right into me.  Adding up the parts now, about 500  :flush:

Sometimes the sledding isn't all about the riding or racing.

It was damn cold here on Saturday, so it was carb and chaincase day for the Enticer.

It was -20c on the ride home. Moose were everywhere.

So looking at some triples recently and wondering if the Doo triples have counter balance shafts and water pump issues like the Zuke 800 and 1000? 🤷🏻

No they don’t. They don’t have balance shafts at all. And the water pump is never an issue. 

the weak point on the rotax ones are the plastic caged PTO bearings. The cage falls apart then of course the bearing falls apart. I’ve been replacing them with steel caged bearings on the PTO side which something a guy can do without special tools. Haven’t had one fail yet after updating them 

the other major issue is the carbs wear out over time and over fuels the engine. It washes the engine out and can actually get to the point it’ll hydro lock the engine and bend a rod 

easy fix though. I just drop the needles one notch In every carb to compensate for the wore needle jet. Cleans them right up. 
 

of course these aren’t chronic issues by any means but these sleds are old and most people don’t take the time to keep these things in check.

So which is the better sled reliability wise…98 Mach 1 or 2002 Mach Z?🤷🏻👍🏼

02 Mach Z

98’s had wiring issues and if anything the 800 was a better engine

Yeah l was  reading about the wiring under the engine issue…not such a good idea. 👍🏼

Yup it was pretty dumb. Plus if you’re goi g to have a triple you might as well have the biggest one 

the Mach 1 had good power for a 700 as well but there’s literally no downside to having a Mach Z instead. It might be like 3-4 more lbs

I have rerouted my Wiring to up top on my 98 700..still need to clean it up some and maybe some heat tape to avoid hot muffler ... but its no longer sitting under the motor. Way better already to work on.

Wondering if my crank seals are bad??

Thing fires right up cold, still rich as hell but once it warms up just runs like complete shit and eventually fouls the plugs ...

My compression is still like 140 all three

Most likely the needles. Bad seals will make it run dry.

Had Grandson out on the ice for the first time today, here he's taking dad off the line

 

 

Picked up a new Mission today.

It was fucking cold last night. Had to have the GMax plugged in and it kept clear but I had a cold spot on my left cheek. 

I'm too fucking old and work too hard to be miserable when I'm supposed to be having fun.
