Inspect your gas line and how it’s routed, I had one that was zip tied too tightly to a part of the motor and it eventually rubbed a hole in the line and my sled caught fire up in the mountains, always good to know you’re not leaking gas.
Learning so much from these videos. Keep them coming! As a new rider I'm finding myself stuck in tight places and unable to turn quickly or just to avoid going into obstacles. I'd love to see some beginner riding tips on just controlling the snowmobile in tight places on level ground with deeper snow.
Can I come work for you in that beautiful shop 😂😂 I love you videos man been riding for a few years now and I still find your how to riding videos a really good refreshment on foot, head, and body potions. Awesome videos my man..... get back to me on the mechanic position 😂
As always, nice job Dan! One other thing, checking ski alignment and the ski rubbers at the beginning of the season as well as periodically through the season.
Nice video Dan. I have a turbo sled also. I replace both springs every yr. Cheap insurance. A couple things I also inspect and grease are the steering blocks. Inspect all steering hiem joints for play or seized up from the steering post to the spindles. check to make sure they are Tite., ski bolts and bushings. (Aqua shield). I use aqua shield to grease the skid also.. Repels water. Non conductive grease in all the electrical plugs. Inspect drive shaft for play. Inspect jack shaft bearings for play. Inspect hyfax wear. Inspect drivers for excessive wear,cracks or missing cogs. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Now that you mention it I would love to see a tutorial on how you setup fox air shock and how to efectivley tune to an individuals riding styles. Also a tutorial on ski alignment would be awesome. Just put a new full set of Evol 3's and a 36" front on and looking forward to seeing how the sled handles and rides differnetly than the stockers. Keep the awesome videos coming and would love to see you up in Revy sometime.
Where did you get the electric siphon? Also to add, bearing checks, track straightness, steering post grease, steering post cracks, ski saddle rubbers, spindle and saddle grease, Emry cloth is too aggressive for your sheaves. I suggest a scotch Brite at engine idle
Can't remember where we got this one but it looks like similar siphon pumps are on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Sierra-Tools-Battery-Operated-Liquid-Transfer/dp/B000HEBR3I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542472847&sr=8-3&keywords=electric+siphon+pump
Im a chic - I ride like a man (no joke ) but am embarrassed to say I dont know how to do any maintenance on my sled & I should...! I have a skidoo mxz tnt 600. NOT the etec. I would love somebody to make a basic video on how to clean my carbs. I did go & buy the carb cleaning solution to soak them in (similiar to a gallon on paint w the lid) . I take my sled in to a mechanic every year, for servicing preseason- but nobody seems to be open to teaching me how to clean / Adjust my carbs. Yes I summarize it after every season (fogging it, stabil in the fuel & fill the 2 grease serts) Also cleaning the Power/ rave or reed valves- I am hoping somebody can make a video on, also. Thank you. Also would be great to learn to pull my clutch myself for inspection & cleaning. I bought the proper clutch puller just gotta know next, what to do. Thank you guys for any help you could provide!
Go check out the Powermodz Chanel here on yuotube, he have lots of DIY videos and mod videos too. Syxxes performance channel have some DIY too. Aldo the Digit Nine channel have some nice tips and tricks! Good luck with the wrenching and safe riding!
Doing some mid season maintenance on my 14 Pro 155 due to a shoulder dislocation a couple weeks ago. I’m having some idle issues. After a minute or 2 of warming up my sled wants to die. Any suggestions helpful. I changed the spark plugs and it still does it. Thanks!
Loved the video I just got a 2017 axys , one question I have is how or what do you use to clean all in the engine area and under the hood ? The last idiot before me ran down a logging road got mud everywhere then it dried . I tried soap water but didn’t wanna pressure wash to close and didn’t wanna use harsh chemicals ? Any help be great .
I would use a standard engine degreaser that you could get at any autoparts store. Pressure washer would be ok but be careful to not get too close to seals etc.

I have been riding snowmobiles since the 70s and he's correct it's all about the clutches
Dan I look forward to your next video. Very well done by everyone involved!!
Dan I've watched your videos and I learned a lot from you keep it going good job it's helping

Sounds like you need more throttle. Brap Brap!
Glad to see videos resume Dan.
Ideas: Install a tether, check plugs, reset spring tension since springs were relaxed last springtime.
Great ideas, thanks Curtis

That is a really good call. We should have included that, especially ski rubbers. Thanks
Awesome video, it’s nice to see you posting videos again Dan! Keep up the awesomeness!!!
Thanks buddy, let us know if there is anything you would like to see

enjoyed a refresher on what to do never hurts

Thanks! Really helpful! :)
If we didn't buy a new snowmobile.. My 95 XLT has nothing to worry about 🤣
more of a preseason rebuild than a pre season check if you go by what he suggest.
Great vid. I wanted to mention to Grease the skid! What grease do you recommend & are there any other points to grease beside just the skid
We typically use Polaris All Season grease.
Great vid. Thx
Just curious and what pressures you run in those shocks? I'm doing research for a starting point on my new shocks
