Too Easy With Opening 33 Days & Counting!

[whitedust]

Took off old UPMI & WI Snomo Stickers no problem came right off & didn't have to use my trusty pig sticker blade to get them started. Put on new WI Sticker which is blue better than the old green sticker colorwise & has larger numbers but black lettering contrast is poor quaility IMO. Anywho checked all the Attak Fluids tuned the key & that baby fired up like midseason form!!! No burps just purred like a kitten on 1st crank even the clock was right on at 2:02PM.lol I was surprised as 1st time I didn't start in mid summer just let it rest since late March until today. I put the saddlebags back on & put leatherman tool, space blanket & compass back in bags & stuffed a tow rope in the rear pocket just incase. Note to self to to buy a new spare belt, wiped Black Magic protector on the seat hooked up battery charger on maintain & closed up trailer done just as sleet started falling. I also aired up the trailer tires. Just seemed toooooooooo darn easy but ok with me.

I know it's a Yammi 4 stroke and those puppies are pretty much bullet proof, you know you just jinxed yourself with this post right?

PS. I hope your pushing snow over the windshield in 33 days!

LOL @ John - I was just gonna post the same exact thing that he jinxed himself?!

You had a nice, productive day! I'm not sure how it's gonna work for us this year with our sleds at the White Pine house. Am sure bigdaddy isn't gonna like an unheated garage to go through 5 sleds for pre season checks!?

I was hoping to counter the jinx by storing the tow rope on board so fingers & toes crossed too.lol I'll be looking forward to your forecasts mid November for some serious whitestuff to rip it on Dec 1 which is a Thursday this year.

Hey Whitedust.

I see you didn't pull the trigger on a new machine. My new XTX (In Black!) is being delivered next week. I'm looking forward to meeting up with you this winter to ride. We only got one trip in last year which was too bad. Have to make up for it this year.

Hey, has this happened to anyone else. I have EFI sleds now, but when I had the carbed sleds, they would start right up and run fine after sitting for months. I would drive them into the garage and shut them off. They ran strong and idled perfect. But when I'd go to start them to put them away the next day, one or the other wouldn't start without a fight. Its like gunk in the gas broke loose and clogged up the works, or something! Used to drive me nuts, EFI rocks!

I could not make up my mind 128 or 144 but now know 144 is what I want if I go EPS. The 2007 Attak has been good to me so difficult to part with it. Talk to me when it is time to sell the 2011 XTX I may be ready by then. Hopefully the snow will be better this year & we can meet half way then head north. Phelps had 99 inches but east & west of here not so good & you were in the snow desert just awful year for you. Let me know when you are here an we will get together.

Totally agree! What I did with all my carbed sleds was put on gas shutoffs & ran them dry & was ok but nothing like DI for gas & go turnkey sleds.

Ok, so the grandkids spent the weekend at our house. Screaming, sassing, abusing the dogs and destroying everything. So I spent the weekend outside and in the garage, with beer.
Scrubbed down the trailer, lots of bird doo and mildew. Why did I get a white trailer? Aired the tires, checked the lights and greased the hubs. Shes good to go.
Backed the sleds into the garage, they started right up, Ahhh, 2cycle exhaust. Wiped them down with a wet towel and removed last years Michigan stickers. Batteries still seem good, going on their sixth season, battery tenders rawk. I'm gonna wait to drain the gas till December. Today I was gonna take my sled for a rip across the yard, but the kids went home and its quiet here for the first time all weekend. So me, and the dogs, are just going to sit and enjoy the silence for a while, maybe I'll have another beer. Snowmobile season is coming folks. I cant wait.

All that is left for me is to move the trailer to the winter position & wait for snow.
