Disconnecting TSS and Stop switch

[Murph]

Will the sled run with this sub-harness disconnected?

Is it possible to pull the TSS switch and tape it closed?

When my throttle packs full of snow, the TSS will momentarily engage and then disengage.

Looking at the service manual the switch has resistance levels for open and closed-- instead of Infinity (Open Line) and closed.....

Don't need the Stop switch or TSS because I always ride with my tether.

Thanks in advance.

2020 miles and counting....over the hood pow today....

should be able to. i changed out bars and throttle block and zipped tied the tss button closed and then taped both to the a-frame member under the hood. put a zip tie or something under kill switch so it doesn't some how get pushed down. if you just cut them or unplug them you will have to figure out if the wires need to be connected or not. should be relatively easy.

Looking inside the throttle block, there is a Phillips screw by the TSS wires. Will removing this screw allow the TSS to come out or does the throttle block need to come apart?

Yes. 3 screws for the cover and the one under the cover secures the TSS.

So I pulled the TSS switch out and taped it closed.....
Don't know if it is placebo effect but the engine felt snappier. Wondering if the variable resistance switch (have you seen the specs for it in the service manual?) coupled with the ECU varies the power delivery OR...
If it is just placebo effect.

Wish I had more of a ride report but we went back 7 miles on a barely broken trail and jumped into a meadow we had ridden the day before. Two Pro 155's stuck..... Bad. So deep you couldn't see the windshields. Get them out, go twenty feet, stuck again. I strapped on my snowshoes and packed a 1/4 mile trail back to our previously broken trail. One sled out. Then I snowshoe packed the other 1/4 mile to the other stuck sled.
Never start a pow ride at 3pm. We got back to the truck at 9:30. Cold, wet, and tired. Girlfriend was not stoked.

The good news is, when the storm finally breaks- it's still snowing- there will be 4-5 feet of fresh on the ground. We'll see if the TSS was part of my problem.

2035 miles on sled now.
