FYI when you are unthreading the pump from the stem the air you heat bleeding off is the pressure releasing in the valve stem. When the pump backs out you should no longer be pushing down the Schrader valve by the time the pressure is releasing from inside the stem.I have one of those hillbilly friends... he blew out every float he ever touched ?
Maybe I'm one of those hillbillies as well, every time I adjusted them I'd dump an unknown amount of pressure unscrewing the pump. I've always thought coils are pretty fool(me) proof for adjustments.
And also, due to the low volume of these small chambers, it's wise to never "check" the pressure without resetting it, especially if you are using a gauge that is not also a high pressure pump. They call this the observer effect, when you lose pressure while checking and not properly resetting pressure. Every pound counts.FYI when you are unthreading the pump from the stem the air you heat bleeding off is the pressure releasing in the valve stem.

When i unscrew my fts, the air bleeds out as im unscrewing the fitting.FYI when you are unthreading the pump from the stem the air you heat bleeding off is the pressure releasing in the valve stem.

Happens every tyme
I put my chamber at 35 and as im unscrewing the valve, all of the air dumps out. The other shocks dont bleed like the fts.Thats just air in the line. When you back out the screw that pushes the valve in you're sealing the system.
Or you got a valve that's out of spec.
The chambers are so small that temp messes with them, and just checking pressure you lose enough that you'll never know exactly what it was before you checked it.
We have done 7 sleds in our group this way.Anyone do a longer FTS and limiter w/pro rails?
This looks like the cheapest/easiest route.
It's only wasting money if you are poor ?We have done 7 sleds in our group this way.
I think it’s the only way to avoid wasting money.
Buying new rails isn’t wasting money?It's only wasting money if you are poor ?
First off, I’d like to state that I am not poor and have plenty of money to blow on my sled.We have done 7 sleds in our group this way.

Keyword CAN be... ? just requires a slope of 30+ degrees and the right snow conditions.165 Pro's can still be playful. Anyone that tells you otherwise doesn't know how to ride one.
Have you tried swapping clutches yet?I'm still fighting clutch/track vibration issues on the sled (still no friggin idea). I'm just gonna start throwing parts at it now. Dealer was no help and slow.
I bought some 163" Khaos rails from Iceage. Gonna run the Pro front shock and limiter for now. 3" Powerclaw. I guess if it still more planted than I like I will get Raptors (Khaos) for the rear along with the longer limiter.
I've been told dropping the front of the skid to the lower hole makes for a lighter front end as well. I just as well try that since its free.
I decided to snowcheck a 155 about 2 days after snowcheck opened. I was too late with any of the local dealers and don't feel like driving 10hrs to pick up a sled so I'm gonna keep this one for the time being. If I can't get it to be playful like I want I will try to find a Boost off the floor next winter. I've got a feeling there will be plenty.
I have not yet, I don't want to chew the rollers in a buddies secondary (not a big deal, I know, but I would just rather not)... new track, drivers, and rails will all be here either tomorrow or Thursday. If I'm still having issues I will steal clutches from a buddy.Have you tried swapping clutches yet?
