Wrong alloy that cant handle heat cycling Or they could put decent clutching in them so they don’t creat a shit ton of unnecessary heat. Probably the root cause Edited February 24 by Not greg b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the root cause Yea when I first saw the picture that’s exactly what I thought. Figured it was overheated sheaves from massive amounts of belt slip. Either way it’s been a pattern for MANY years with cat. Cracked clutch sheaves and shit clutching with lots of belt dust. I remember taking a clutch to dealer 10-15 years ago for sheave cracked Edited February 24 by jonlafon1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 How badly are the shit clutching racer only gearing sleds going to get beaten today? not just in MN either, rumor has it they're going to run a couple in MI as well.

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted February 25 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 25 How it started….and how it ended. Not the debut we had hoped for with the Catalyst mod. Started the day P7, and felt we had a good running race setup. All day we fought with clutching and suspension issues. The decision was made to park it around lap 225 after the sled kept dropping to 1 cylinder. Thank you to all of our awesome sponsors and crew who make it happen every season. We will be back after summer break to give it another go! Arctic Cat - Snowmobiles Woody's Traction Fly Racing UA Local 85 Speedwerx Jet-Hot High Performance Coatings Rox Speed FX, Inc.

I can see why they didn’t provide sleds to racers for the Iron Dog, they’d have never made it even 500 miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they hit the age 15 they graduate from that to blue washer fluid. When they hit 21 they can get the full loaded purple washer fluid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
