    Revving VS. Running it Up for Storage

    I start my sled and rev it without engaging the clutch every 2-3 weeks to keep things operational. But I'm thinking it's better to peg the flipper for a bit so fuel runs through the main jet to keep it clear. Does fuel run through the main jet when only revved up to 3k? Trying to avoid pulling...

    Cut down the side with a sharpened air chisel then punch off the side of the rivet. A lot quicker and cleaner than using a drill.

    Rich oil=Lean Burn

    Hello, Trying to trace down detonation issue on my 2010 800Ptek and I'm now thinking that my 30:1-32:1 oil mix is the root cause. Could this be possible? Will adjusting to 35:1 or 40:1 cause more fuel to enter the combustion camber?

    2-Stroke 800cc and crappy gas.

    Wondering if anyone has figured out how to cure detonation problems when forced to buy gas containing %15 ethonal or stagnate premium gas? My Ski-Doo 800r trips the knock sensor code and retards the timing on certain types of gas. It also seems to happen more often when my gas tank is less...

    Sylvania Wilderness Area

    Hello, We are leaving for Bass/Northern fishing trip and heading to Sylvania in the U.P. After reading all the rules that they have I'm thinking it would not work for us. Is there another area in the Land O' Lakes area that allows camping directly on a lake with gas motors allowed and has...
