looking for ideas if anyone has encountered, last year when put sled away fuel gage was working this year isn't, when first start shows level but then slowly goes to empty tank is about 3/4 full. haven't dug into yet but any ideas or someone that may have encountered or seen this. asking a serious question, don't need.... should have bought Polaris, Yamaha or what ever other smart remarks that may follow, just fellow snowmobiler looking for help

Do a google on this, there is a lot on you tube also

looks like they have problems with the floats getting fuel inside them, quite extensive repair

I drained off fuel and hooked onto arm and without actually removing can feel its quite heavy and looks like I can just replace the float and sending unit without having to replace the fuel pump, started disassembling, just like everything else have to remove a hundred things to get at the one part you need, thanks for the feedback

Got it all apart, and yes float was completely full of gas, baggie full of hardware after getting all apart. only one snag where coolant bottle is attached to front of fuel tank screw was put is crooked into one of those wonderful inserts in the tank and guess what, not coming out. Has never been apart and the screw head spins so off center was obvious put in, cross threaded and drove it home. overall though wasn't that bad to get apart.
