Yes he has good quality professional videos with wholesome, helpful, informative material. I don’t think that there is anything wrong with having older equipment but in this day and age the latest and greatest gets all the attention. Keep up the good work! Those of us who are aware really appreciate you.
My Old Sled got it from eBay www.ebay.com/itm/1997-1999-Ski-Doo-670-Snowmobile-78-mm-STD-Bore-SPI-Pistons-Bearings-Gaskets/113607100338?fits=Model%3AMXZ+670&epid=20022673571&hash=item1a7382c7b2:g:tscAAOSwPfhbdWqO
@@MyOldSled Man to me that is crazy haha but honestly if we all liked things the same things and had it the same way life would be VERY boring. We just got nailed this month with snow otherwise it has been lack luster as hell for snow.. 2 of the last 5 seasons our trails have not opened once.
I did buy that Woody's tool in a 15in to remove my can on my 1200 touring Ski-Doo. I have not used it yet but this summer I will when I clean the inside of my engine out and check for leaks.
Dave, yet another great very informative " how to video " Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with a limited mechanically inclined person such as I, with limited funds as well. Keep up the great work my friend. Thanks again.
I live and ride in eastern Ontario and enjoy your channel. By the way a mil is not an abbreviation for millimeter. A mil is 1/1000th of an inch which is completely different from a millimeter.
Great video ski-dave, those woodys tools are expensive but worth every cent when you need to get a snowmobile done correctly. Ive had the same stud hole cutter setup for 25 yrs, still cuts.
Hello Dave, it would be great if you could do a video on how to adjust the carburetor on your old mxz. Choke plungers or primer, air screw, idle screw and float height. There are no videos that explains it at all and how you proceed when you have more than one carb. You are doing a nice work!!! Keep on going.
I had a bad experience with a can. I bought a used can for my sled witch supposed to be made for my 2001 mxz. I installed it and my sled started to bog, get full and run on one cylinder on low rpm. Since I installed it right after I finished engine rebuild, I did not suspect the can. Cleaned and adjusted the carbs and bought couple of new parts, but nothing changed. After couple of months, I thought maybe the can is wrong and don`t have back pressure. I put back the stock and sled run perfect. The sound was nice tho.. :D
Don’t feel bad. Very common. Lots of people do the same thing, put “performance” parts on vehicles, and they hurt performance. If you know what you’re doing, and you made other changes to the motor which require changes to exhausts, it makes sense, like in racing. Thanks for watching,
Yeah it was an awesome article. No problem I haven’t really watched in a while but your snowmobiles and name caught my attention and reminded me how good your videos are
Thankx for the shout out Dave ! And vice grips are a bad idea to remove exhaust springs ! My friends cousin knocked out both of his front teeth while using Vice grips to remove pipe springs from an old Mach 1 ! Ohhh and do you have a link for that tool ? Thankx again Dave !
Some cans sound pretty cool, but unless you want your sled to have a new sound or your exhaust has lots of miles under it's belt, don't buy one. They don't really increase your power, but they can lessen the weight a little.
I wouldn't buy one period. My sleds are already loud enough that I don't like taking them out at night. Don't want to disturb the neighbours or scare the crap out of the wildlife as it is. On a two stroke, they won't increase power, quite the opposite.
Hehe...is this a test? Reed valves work like a one-way valve that allows fuel and air into the crank case. (for bonus points) My older 670 has a rotary valve instead. Transfer port is how the fuel gets from the crank case to the cylinder. The ports are openings in the cylinder, and the piston blocks them when it's in front of them. I may do a video on 2stroke/4stroke in future.
Wish 2-stoke exhaust came out the rear so not riding in cloud and having everything you own smell of oil for ever after even a 5 minute ride... seen a 4-stoke come out to rear, why not a 2?
Good point Dave,,use the PROPER TOOL for the job ,,i tell people this when they use the water method to remove the skidoo TRA primary ,,BUT i question is are you a mechanic or a plumber?? Because thats pretty much what you become,,messing around with that telfon tape,,screwing around ,,hoping it dont leak,,crossing yer fingers and toes hoping,,meanwhile juss buying the freaking proper good quality puller and be done with it,,
Hey David Clarke!, it's Logan Clarke here and i have a mbrp trail can. Do you think the police would give me a lot of trouble if they find out? I got it for christmas and never seen an officer yet.
Hi PS...Honestly, I don't want to comment on specific products, just wanted to make people aware of the legislation. If it meets one of the criteria in the act, then you could catch a fine. The police have been cracking down a lot on those cans.
Great info, I always thought the expansion chamber was the muffler... noob lol. And cool to hear you shout out paisteboy! Check out Revrider550, Hes another rider thats local to me who makes pretty cool vids.
Dude I absolutely love your vids I have a mxz 500 classic that's awesome. By the way I'm impressed how well the 97 mxz looks. Could you check out my go pro video on mine? I wanted to give RUclips a shot and see what a successful youtuber thought. See you on the trails!!!🤙
Hi mtb. Thanks so much, glad you enjoy them. Nice sled. Successful is a relative term, but what do I think? I think if you enjoy making videos, make videos. :)
How does this guy only have 5k subs??
I probably need to upload more. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Spread the word my friend :)

Thanks P. Glad you like the channel
Nice I just got finished rebuilding the top end in my mxz. It has tons of power now.
Nice. How long did it take you?
My Old Sled took me about 3 hours. It was pretty easy just had trouble getting the circlips in.
Where did you get the kit? Link?
My Old Sled got it from eBay www.ebay.com/itm/1997-1999-Ski-Doo-670-Snowmobile-78-mm-STD-Bore-SPI-Pistons-Bearings-Gaskets/113607100338?fits=Model%3AMXZ+670&epid=20022673571&hash=item1a7382c7b2:g:tscAAOSwPfhbdWqO
What’s your compression at now?
Can't beat the sound of a 2-stroke triple... Mach Z 800 with aftermarket pipes and can... amazing
To each their own I guess. Honestly, I don’t get it. I’d make mine quieter if I could. Glad you’re enjoying yours though. Getting snow where u are?

Thanks Dave for your content. I have older sleds as well so your content is great and very informative. Keep up the great work my friend.
Thanks 👍 and thanks for watching.
The harbor freight long reach hose pliers work great for exhaust springs.

Oh my Goodness! Thanks so much for shouting me out...I appreciate it so much! I don't know how to thank you!
Just picked up both WOODY'S spring pullers last month after all these years. Worth every penny!!!
Yeah I really like mine.
I used a T handle sparkplug wrench with a flathead and cut a notch for springs. Best spring puller ever.
Second best maybe...;)
@@MyOldSled you can't change plugs with that.
That’s what my spark plug wrench is for ...

That would be "mm" why did I say "mil" somewhere?

Hi Dan, I don’t think $20 is overly expensive, it’s worth it.

im still using a shoelace and gloves in 2020. Never struggle either :)
damn i forgot how good your videos are. really well done.
Thanks!
Great video Dave. Thanks for the shout out.
Hey BP. No problem.
Can you do a video on how to prevent whiskey throttle!?
I love your tow mirrors lol
Great Info! Thank You - New Subscriber - We live in NY and would love to come up to Canada someday to ride. I hear it is outstanding.
Hey Westwood, welcome ... (#11000) we have some great riding, it’s a big country so depends where you are.
Great, comprehensive video as always!
Thanks Ben.
Thank you very much for your channel. It’s very informative.
Thank you for watching. New video in edit right now.
I love your channel.
Thanks so much. Glad I you enjoy it
Hey I just saw your article in go snowmobiling Ontario nice 👍
Hi Colin. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
Yeah it was an awesome article.
No problem I haven’t really watched in a while but your snowmobiles and name caught my attention and reminded me how good your videos are
Aw thanks man. Have a great weekend.
i made my own exhast spring tool works great took like 15 min to make. looks like the woodys tool :D but my handle isnt the same :D
Thank You ...very helpful doing it this up coming wknd ..... Cheers !!
Hey Thomas, glad you found it helpful. Good luck.
I always use dental floss to take the springs off. Leaves a nice minty fresh smell;)
Plus, combining oral hygiene with your routine sled maintenance is a good reminder to keep up with both.
@@MyOldSled LOL Glad you have a good sense of humor Dave! Keep up the vids!!
Thankx for the shout out Dave ! And vice grips are a bad idea to remove exhaust springs ! My friends cousin knocked out both of his front teeth while using Vice grips to remove pipe springs from an old Mach 1 ! Ohhh and do you have a link for that tool ? Thankx again Dave !
No problem DB. It's in the description.
Another good one!
Thanks Joe!
I commented a few weeks ago about a rev review is that in the works,btw I really appreciate your content
Yep, it’s coming up.
My Old Sled Nice thanks so much !
Great video!

nice video as always!
Thanks very much Alex. Glad you enjoyed it.
Broo love you vids

More HP??? Less weight???? The only thing you can guarantee a can will do is help close trails due to landowners being fed up with the Braaap brigade.
What editing system do you use? I'm using Shotcut. Your editing system seems more advanced
what does the reed valve do?
what does the transfer ports do?
how does the piston open and close transfer ports?
Hehe...is this a test? Reed valves work like a one-way valve that allows fuel and air into the crank case. (for bonus points) My older 670 has a rotary valve instead. Transfer port is how the fuel gets from the crank case to the cylinder. The ports are openings in the cylinder, and the piston blocks them when it's in front of them. I may do a video on 2stroke/4stroke in future.
Is there an easy way to get springs and bolts from under the engine in the rev. I have a couple down there.
If you hit a Canadian Tire, Princess Auto etc, you can buy magnets on a telescoping rod.
The tool absolutly.did once without one.never again.lol
Hey Dave how about getting stickers made with the logo of your channel? I'd buy a bunch... T shirts? 👍
Did you watch my newest video with my new logo?
@@MyOldSled I did but I may have to re-watch it lol.
Wish 2-stoke exhaust came out the rear so not riding in cloud and having everything you own smell of oil for ever after even a 5 minute ride... seen a 4-stoke come out to rear, why not a 2?
So could you put an aftermarket on ?
Why do you want to?
