    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...

    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?
